      Summary of The Intelligent Investor - Instaread Summaries

      OVERVIEW

      The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing by Benjamin Graham, with commentary by Jason Zweig, is a thorough guide to the principles of portfolio creation, cost management, stock and bond picking, and stock ownership for the defensive, long-term investor.

      Investors should split their portfolio between bonds and stock. The level of risk an investor should take depends on how much time they have to devote to research and management. The recommended percent of the portfolio that can be spent on higher-risk transactions should not exceed ten.

      Many people buy a stock when it has already started to rise above its best price and sell when it has already fallen below its peak. This cuts into profits, as do transaction fees, taxes, and adviser fees. To avoid buying a stock when it is already too expensive to offer a good, long term return, investors should define their preferred price-to-average earnings ratio. In order to make as many purchases at optimal prices throughout the year as possible, investors should devote a set dollar amount to invest each month, which is called dollar-cost averaging.

      Good strategies for investment include finding well managed funds, getting advice or a qualified manager, reading deeply into the numbers of corporate financial statements, seeking stocks that demonstrate consistent dividend payments and asset value, and limiting risk by setting a price that will best guarantee results even if projections turn out to be overinflated.
