Investing has become an option for those who want and need to improve their income and prepare for financial freedom. Some prefer the stock market, while others opt for buying rental properties.
The option to choose will depend on the person's profile and what their short, medium and long term goals are.
With the aim of guiding and educating, Benjamin Graham wrote "The Intelligent Investor," where he presents his philosophy, based on the concept of "value investing.".
"The Intelligent Investor" became the "bible" for investors from its first publication in 1949. In it, Graham warns about how to avoid strategic errors, while describing how to develop a rational plan for buying stocks and increasing their value.
These actions are carried out with a long-term perspective, as this method is aimed at investors and not speculators: while the speculator only takes into account market trends, the investor obtains their benefits based on discipline and research.
In its latest edition, it features contributions from financial journalist Jason Zweig, who has been responsible for commenting on and updating the text, drawing parallels between the examples provided by Benjamin Graham and the real situations experienced in the world of finance in recent years.
"The Intelligent Investor," besides being an essential classic in any self-respecting library, is one of the most important books one can read to achieve the financial goals that each investor has set for themselves.
