Benjamin Graham, David Dodd

One of the best book forever
I am a Chinese, PhD in Statistics. Through out my education in the past 20 years(5 years in US, 15 years in China), like many others who mainly focus on Mathematics, Science and Technology, I may have some bias views(skepticism) on Business, Finance, Economic, and ...

Another Great Book by Larry Swedroe

The Light at the End of the Tunnel Isn't a Train

Benjamin Graham

Collins Business, 2005

A classic -- still worth reading after 60 years
Since reading Graham, I keep running into his name everywhere -- and for good reason. Graham (and his disciple Warren Buffet) does not talk about -- or believe in -- get-rich-quick schemes (those are speculation), but in sound principles of looking for solid, well-run ...
