This classic text is annotated to update Graham's timeless wisdom for today's market conditions... The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth 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 readers 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 read on how to reach your financial goals.

Warum unser Gehirn verrückt spielt, wenn das große Geld lockt Wir sehen uns als rationale Anleger. Prüfen sorgfältig, für welche Geldanlage wir uns entscheiden, bevor wir handeln. Ein verheerender Irrtum. Denn neueste Erkenntnisse aus der Gehirnforschung zeigen: In kaum einem anderen Bereich spielt uns unser Gehirn so leicht Streiche, wie wenn es um unser Geld geht. Jason Zweig schildert in seinem Buch, was in uns vorgeht, wenn wir finanzielle Entscheidungen treffen. Die überraschende Erkenntnis: Unsere Gedanken beim Thema Geld sind nicht allzu weit entfernt von dem, was uns beim Thema Sex durch den Kopf geht - oder wenn man unter Drogen steht. Wer aber weiß, dass uns in Gelddingen leicht eine Sicherung durchbrennt, kann sich gezielt schützen und teure Fehler vermeiden. Wie das geht, zeigt dieses Buch. "Das Gehirn: Ein Apparat, mit dem wir denken, dass wir denken." (Ambrose Bierce)
