Andrew Punch
5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent book, a hard slog for beginners
Reviewed in Australia on 2 September 2021
I have been trading shares personally for 20 years. Over that time I have effectively been value investing.

Reading a book that spells out that investment methodology is a revelation. Warren Buffet specifically wrote to Graham asking to attend his class at Columbia University.

The methodology is very risk averse. This book was written in 1948, with the Great Depression still visible in the rear view mirror.

Definitely recommend the book but you need to have read some other books on the mechanics of how the stock market works before tackling this book.

Also recommend Security Analysis by the same authors - I'd read this book first.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blah, Blah - Boring Read
Reviewed in Australia on 15 December 2019

I was very keen to read this book but would not recommend it. It has a lot of dated and very detailed information that really means nothing in todays world. I had to troll through 700 odd pages to find half a dozen good points that could have been nicely summaries using only two pages. I gave it three stars because I can see it would have been very relevant book decades ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book but came damages
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2021

Fantastic book but expect your copy to look like a team of blind people have played catch with the packadge before it arrives. The print quality of the cover is good, the quality of the paper is great, but the cover has MASSIVE dents and creases all over it. This is becoming such a frequent issue with the things I order I think I'm just going to stop buying books from amazon. Either the print quality is awful and the book is incredibly cheap, or the book is nice but half destroyed upon delivery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Signs of wear on the back
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2021
Verified Purchase
The book itself is very well regarded and definitely worth the money (although I haven’t read it all yet). However when the book arrived it had damage on it such as teeth marks and folds on the back, as it’s a book it doesn’t make much of a difference, although the very last pages do have enough damage that some parts seem hard to read. Therefore I would advise maybe buying it from another seller to avoid this problem yourself as the only option is to return it for another which is too long of a process.

3.0 out of 5 stars Broken cover
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2020
Verified Purchase
The book is arrived with a visible cut on the top side of the cover. It is pretty annoying having to wait more than 2 weeks to have the book delivered because of the covid19 situation and then seeing that pretty clear cut on the cover.
Beside that the rest of the book has no other defects and is in good condition.

I’ve started this book but can’t seen to find the motivation to pick it up again. Very dry and not easy reading.

In my opinion One upon wall street (Peter Lynch)
Is much better than this idiot investor
Long chapters of bla bla bla
Peter lynch examples are much better and easy to understand for beginners
