Good books on Value Investing

The Intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham
This book is "directed to investors as distinguished from speculators" and discusses at length the value style of
investing. For the uninitiated, Warren Buffet, the world's most successful investor, was a student of Benjamin Graham
and follows the "value" style of investing. Buffet's take on the book - "By far the best book on investing ever written".
Our take - read it now!

Security Analysis – Graham & Dodd
Another hugely important book from the father of value investing. Credited for transforming investment analysis into
a discipline, the book still forms a worthwhile reference guide for even the savviest of investors. Although many
editions are available, Warren Buffett finds the 1940 edition as the best of the lot.

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits – Philip Fisher
Regarded by many as the father of growth investing, Philip Fisher's seminal work, especially the fifteen points to look
for in a stock can prove to be an extremely useful screener for someone looking to analyse a growth stock. The best
compliment though comes from Warren Buffett who once unabashedly proclaimed that he is 85% Graham and 15%
Fisher.

The Warren Buffett Way – Robert Hagstrom
When you are the world's greatest investor, you are bound to be dissected relentlessly. Although many good books
have been written on the master, we believe this books comes the closest in terms of scrutinizing his investment style.
After all, what better than profiting from the investment philosophies of one of the best in the business.
