One of the best if not THE best book about investing (Warren Buffett thinks so) ever written. 40% off (with free delivery if you have Prime). Has been cheaper in the past but still a great deal, especially because it will actually help you making money if you read it and apply your learnings. Do yourself a favour and read this, your future self will be grateful.

P.S. First OzBargain deal post for me, let me know if there's anything I need to add or change to the post!
P.P.S. I just noticed it has had this price for a while now (since April 2021), oh well if you think this is not really a deal let me know and I will unpublish.

Thank you.

    Way outdated, strategy doesn't work these days, better off following WSB lol

      not really, while it's an old book (although updated over the years), its startegies and suggestions are the same today. Just have a look at the reviews on the internet if you don't believe it

      from wikipedia
      Benjamin Graham is regarded as the father of value investing and The Intelligent Investor was highly regarded by the public and remains so. Ronald Moy, professor of economics and finance at St. John’s University, explains that “The influence of Graham's methodology is indisputable. His disciples represent a virtual who's who of value investors, including Warren Buffett, Bill Ruane, and Walter Schloss”.[4] Warren Buffett is regarded as a brilliant investor and Graham’s best-known disciple.[9] According to Buffett, The Intelligent Investor is “By far the best book on investing ever written.” Ken Faulkberry, founder of Arbor Investment Planner, claims, “If you could only buy one investment book in your lifetime, this would probably be the one”.[9] Many of Graham’s investment strategies explained in the book remain useful today despite massive growth and change in the economy.[5] Scholar Kenneth D. Roose of Oberlin College writes, “Graham’s book continues to provide one of the clearest, most readable, and wisest discussions of the problems of the average investor”.[5] The Intelligent Investor was received with praise from economic scholars and everyday investors and continues to be a premier investing book today.

        I know about the book, I have read it. As posters below have pointed out, it doesn't have the same value decades later.

    do people really still buy books like this? there is so much information online now. everything in this book could be learned in like 2 hours from reddit/youtube. its really not that complicated since most of us just buy ETFs which do everything in this book for you.

    e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/RobinHood/comments/9lk55q/summary_p…

    anything i dont understand in that summary, i can just google a reddit thread explaining it. and so on

    and if you are day trading you are going to need A LOT more than 1 book to do it successfully.

      Only a fool can seriously think that in "like 2 hours" of scrolling reddit you gain the same knowledge you do by reading 600 pages of what is considered the bible of investing.

      Lol, reddit. First thing comes to mind when I hear reddit - GME and AMC.

      You are right about old school information don't work as well as today's markets. But to know and to understand is far important than to just get answers simply right. I don't believe just because you know the answer by 'googling' what you're doing it means you're set in life. I am more a believer of being equipped with the right knowledge(especially foundation knowledge) to be able to handle tough situations and/or a crisis when it arises. History does repeats itself. Life is a cycle of ups and downs and therefore so is the financial market.

      I have an auto immune disorder, lupus. I put my trust in my doctors for 5 years and I never got better. I was deteoriating and ultimately, on the course of death before I hit my 30s. I didn't want to die, so I took upon myself to learn about Lupus. I'm glad I did. I'm 34 now and I guess you could say I cheated death. I understood as much as I could about lupus so I am in control, rather being controlled. Doctors give me shit about my approach to medicine, but you know what I feel like I am 18 again and listening to people who are narrow minded is a set course to the road of destruction.That's how I see it. Listening to reddit is a great way, but you should value your own opinions of your own knowledge and ALWAYS challenge those who are providing information.

      Besides, all financial advice or investing has been extrapolated from previous strategies such as the information in this book.
      Why not embrace the information provided in this book and incorporate some of it into the modern world. Tweek it to your personality and views. I'm playing around with the crypto market. I did an online course and I found 95% of its content was found in a book written in the 90s. I told myself, what an idiot for investing 200 bucks a month over a 300 page book that costed me 10 bucks.

      Hope this opens up your mind a bit more.

        Well said, call me a boomer but kids nowadays have too much information and not enough knowledge. It's all so superficial.

      • Cookiescream on 13/06/2021 - 01:50

        Hi i just signed up to ask you about Lupus! Sorry to hear about your journey.

        I have it too! May I ask what did you do to improve your symptoms?

      • mp316 on 24/07/2021 - 10:04

        Hi sorry off topic but I too signed up to ask about your research into lupus, as my daughter has it too. Keen to understand more, best way to manage, research, alternative view on meds, etc.

    • JSONBourne on 12/06/2021 - 16:57

      If it’s really that easy than the market would predictable, opening buying opportunities for those who understand.

    great bore. Great book. heavy. but very sleep inducing.

    • liongalahad on 12/06/2021 - 15:23

      Agreed it's not the lightest of readings, but it's typically not fun to actually gain knowledge (studying at uni is hard isn't it).

  • mandelbrot on 12/06/2021 - 14:37

    About $4aud on Google Books India. I subscribe to YouTube premium via India, and books there are also heaps cheaper!

    Interestingly I learnt that the people who made the most money during gold rushes were those who sold the shovels and picks and equipment… So similar today with all these self help and get rich books…

    • liongalahad on 12/06/2021 - 17:54

      Generally agree, but this is a book first written in the 50s, and it's considered the bible of investors, hardly a "self help and get rich book".

  • thisisscotts on 12/06/2021 - 18:18

    Great book - helped me realise that I'm not likely to put in the effort to beat the market, so it's better for me to just match it.

      It's near impossible to beat the market consistently anyway 😁

    Note that value investing has lagged the market for more than a decade. Like all strategies, this one might have finally become obsolete.

    • liongalahad on 13/06/2021 - 11:30

      In my view value investing is not and will never die, it simply changes form over the years but the core concept can't be wrong : you will never want to buy something overvalued and will always want to buy something selling cheaper than its real value. What changes is how you assess this value, and over time in many fields and industies the concept of value has evolved, so the way we can assess if a security is under or over-valued is different. But the core concepts are always the same and someone that approaches investing should really be familiar with them.
      Notably, Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway, has recently stated that "all good investing is value investing"

    Bought the hardcover version from Book Depository for $22.56 (9 years ago). Added it to the pile of free books from OzBargain that I'll read when I retire…
