In today’s episode, Patrick Donley (@JPatrickDonley) sits down with Shawn O’Malley, Chief Editor of our newsletter, We Study Markets, to discuss what his main takeaways were from doing a deep dive into The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. Buffett called The Intelligent Investor the most important book on investing ever written and said outside of his own father, Ben Graham was the most influential person on his life. You’ll learn what the main principles of the book that stood out to Shawn were, what an intelligent investor does that average investors don’t do, why common sense is more important than a high IQ in investing, how to apply the idea of margin of safety, how to do an intrinsic value calculation, how to benefit from the mood swings of Mr. Market, plus so much more! The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham was originally published in 1949. It has remained relevant over the years due to its timeless principles and insights into the world of investing. Graham, often referred to as the "father of value investing," offers practical advice for investors of all levels, emphasizing the importance of a disciplined, rational, intelligent approach to investing and the need to distinguish between speculation and investment.
