Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review of The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing, by Benjamin Graham and Jason Zweig

Accidentally, I bought summary of intelligent investor instead of the complete book intelligent investor. It has only about 27 pages. Cost should be 20 rupees. But, they are charging extraordinary amount Rs.309. It is not worth for Rs.309. Cover is designed in such a way that it looks like tha actual book of intelligent investor. Bought it accidentally.

Mis leading, it's not book just summary

Not buy this book it’s not worth of 100 rs

Too expensive for the materialBest avoided

Described in the original as a "thorough guide to the principles of portfolio creation, cost management, stock and bond picking, and stock ownership for the defensive, long term investor" Instaread describes the author's writing style as formal. Important to remember that Benjamin Graham's part of the book was written in 1973 with "large quotations of the 1960's editions of the book" thereby using some outdated language and "terms some investors might not be familiar with". Case studies are said to be dated although "principles themselves still applicable". There is said to be plenty of jargon throughout and even Zweig's portion of the book is outdated having been written prior to the 2008 recession.SO with all that out of the way is there any point in reading this book at all? Yes! If you are looking to do your own investing or want to know a little more then this could be quite an asset for you. HOWEVER I would highly recommend you read this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) first before committing yourself to reading the original. With 9 Key Takeaways in this book let me give you a couple to whet your appetite:>> #3 - "The modern stock market favors speculation over investing and includes a large population of emotional, impatient stock buyers. They tend to purchase stock when it has already risen in value above its ideal price-to-earnings ratio, and sell it when it has already fallen from its highest price.">> #4 - "Investors with little time of interest to devote to their portfolios should invest primarily in mutual fund shares or index funds. After thorough research, investors may choose to have someone else manage their portfolios if no fund available offers the portfolio they want."Each Key Takeaway is discussed over approximately 2 pages each.This Instaread book will give you the gist of the original in a MUCH shorter period of time! Important to note that my review is based on the quality of this Instaread summary and NOT the original. Book provided in exchange for my honest opinion. Thanks, Liz

I enjoyed the way the points of investing were outlined and then explained. Feels like Cliff Notes but not really.I'm new to traditional investments in the Stock market. I've been accustomed to tangible investments like flipping cars on Craigslist, furniture, Security services, etc. The speculative trading I've participated in were like Tradewinds in Aruba and some other high risk high profit companies that went Bust eventually. That being said, I hope this review helps someone.

Good summary of all the possible takeaways you need if you want to invest. I would recommend this as a starting point and reminder book.

It is extremely basic. Honestly not even interesting. It could be in a note on a newspaper rather than a book

garbage ripoff you can read it in 2 minutes, is a summary a high school junior could do, cramming an wonderful book into a few trivial and often incorrect takeaways. avoid this book, save your money and get the real thing. this would be a 10 page leaflet and the other reviews on here are likely fake/planted. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. the intelligent investor would NOT waste money on this, but get real value from the real thing.
