Description:
I've read Securities Analysis front to back (yea, I know... I'm a devoted fan) and The Intelligent Investor, among several other books on corporate business valuation - just to set my credentials at the top. And I have to say, this is one of the most fun I've had reading a book in a while. While you may think Graham is horribly dry in his investment books--with his Victorian and impersonal English--here he does an excellent job at writing an entertaining narrative of his life. I actually found myself laughing-out-loud pretty hard at some of the lines in it. The 30-page introduction by Seymour Chatman is also well-written. It does a good job of summarizing and highlighting the book. I'd recommend you also read it. Even if you don't care about Graham, you can treat the book as an entertaining piece of fiction, if you like. The book is that much fun and the stories contained are sufficiently interesting by their own merit to keep any reader laughing, sobbing, and happily eager to read until the conclusion. There is no book preview on amazon, so I will use this review to explain the general contents of the book: Starting page - Chapter title vii - Introduction by Seymour Chatman (roughly 30 pages long) 1 - Childhood in New York 19 - Family Tragedies and My Mother's Perseverance 37 - At Public School 55 - High School Days: Brooklyn and the Bronx 73 - The Farmhand and The Mechanic 93 - The College Student 123 - My Career Begins 141 - Early Years in Wall Street 163 - The Beginnings of Real Success 185 - The Great Bull Market of the 1920s: I Become a Near Millionaire 199 - The Northern Pipeline Contest 217 - Family and Other Affairs 247 - The Midpoint of Life's Way: The Deluge Begins 267 - The Road Back, 1933-1940 279 - My "Career" as a Playwright 293 - The Commodity Reserve Currency Plan 309 - Epilogue: Benjamin Graham's Self-Portrait at Sixty-Three and his Eightieth Birthday Speech The post script contains: 317 - Chronology 327 - Notes 337 - Bibliography of Writings by and about Benjamin Graham 343 - Index You will see from the chapter list that this book contains NO investment advice. Please read any edition of "Securities Analysis" (except the 5th edition is not co-authored by Graham, but written exclusively by Dodd and a few other people) and "The Intelligent Investor" for Graham's counsel and instruction on investment analysis.
