Editorial reviews

The Intelligent Investor has been the go-to book for investors since it was written in 1949 and author Benjamin Graham is the father of the concept known as 'value investing'. When he published the classic playbook, it changed the way people thought about stocks, helping countless investors avoid risks and build long-term strategies.

This new edition is perfect for the investor looking for insights on how to apply time-tested methods to the modern market. To illuminate how the original text still relates to today’s headlines, financial journalist Jason Zweig provides commentary alongside Graham’s original words. Elevating this listen even further is Luke Daniels, a prolific narrator who makes each piece of advice engaging and easy to digest.

Publisher's Summary

The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions

The greatest investment advisor of the 20th century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" - which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies - has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market Bible ever since its original publication in 1949.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives listeners a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.

Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever listen on how to reach your financial goals.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Index and chapter labels needed.

Seriously. Audible. Could you please give this voluminous and essential tome the due diligence it deserves and label the chapters correctly OR AT THE VERY LEAST provide an index in the PDF. Unacceptable that everything is labeled ‘Chapter 1’ etc with no further title. This is not the way they are presented in the exact same version of the text, Chapter 1 should in fact be labeled “1. Investment versus Speculation: Results to be Expected by the Intelligent Investor “. This is nearly an 18 hour text, beautifully read and yet rendered nearly useless by your pathetic lack of care taken to appropriately name these tracks or provide an index. FIX THIS PLEASE!

1.5x Speed and you're away and laughing...

A lot to get through and very informative, found turning speed up helped with energy of delivery immensely! (was like a completely different person)

Deep, thorough, insightful, intelligent, dry

This reads like a bible on the subject. Providing very detailed analysis of a huge amount of information, this is surely one that any serious investor should read.
I will, however, share my criticisms... First of all, the book makes reference to the author several times which was very confusing. (How can a narrator reference the author?) It appears to jump back and forth in time when referencing 'now'. eg: at some points it refers constantly to the 1970's while in other parts it jumps to the 2000 .com bubble. In addition to these confusing traits, the book references large tables, which makes it very hard to follow for a book on tape listener. (And for the non-american, the author references US stocks and bonds in all of his examples, which makes it a little hard to relate to).
Having said all of this, the reasoning and the practices are sound and Benjamin Graham is obviously an authority on what he is writing about. With all of the difficulties I mentioned above, I learned so much on the subject and gained confidence to assess and make investment decisions. Graham provides practical strategy and example again and again. From descriptions of different stocks and bonds, to company analysis and comparisons, to general investment strategies such as dollar average costing and index fund investing, there is so much to learn here. I will come back to this to read again one day to pick up some of the stuff that slipped through the cracks on the first read. I would recommend this one for sure, but it is not an easy listen.

Ideal for paperback

Content is absolutely fantastic. Graham teaches you how to be a rational investor in any market which is irrational by nature. Best to read the hard copy as done if the illustration don't come across well in audio book.

Awesome and very detailed listening!

I tried to read this book many times, but listening to it using audible made the very dry content much easier to comprehend, for me anyway!

Too heavy for an audio book

It is good information but it is too heavy for an audio book. The narrator is not too dull, but it might help if you increase speed to 1.2 or 1.3. I listened for a few chapters but found myself drowned by all the technical information. It does not help when the narrator keeps jumping from one date to another. In an audio book, you have to focus to follow the train of thoughts. This is not easy especially when you are driving or not taking notes,

Not optimised for listening

A great book meant for re-reading but not optimised for listening. It is very difficult to follow tables, graphs and figures by listening alone, so I would recommend against audio-booking technical volumes.
