Benjamin Graham
The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. This means ... that he should be able to justify every purchase he makes and each price he pays by impersonal, objective reasoning that satisfies him that he is getting more than his money's worth for his purchase.
Benjamin Graham
A defensive investor can always prosper by looking patiently and calmly through the wreckage of a bear market.
Benjamin Graham
Always buy your straw hats in the Winter
Benjamin Graham
In nine companies out of ten the factor of fluctuation has been a more dominant and important consideration in the matter of investment than has the factor of long-term growth or decline
Benjamin Graham
Do not let anyone else run your business
Benjamin Graham
To establish the right price for a stock, the market must have adequate information, but it by no means follows that is the market has this information it will thereupon establish the right price.
Benjamin Graham
The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.
Benjamin Graham
Knowledge is only one ingredient on arriving at a stock's proper price. The other ingredient, fully as important as information, is sound judgment.
Benjamin Graham
