Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets. We all know markets rise and fall, but when should you pull out, and when should you stay in? The answer is never black or white, but is best reached through a keen understanding of the reasons behind the rhythm of cycles. Confidence about where we are in a cycle comes when you learn the patterns of ups and downs that influence not just economics, markets and companies, but also human psychology and the investing behaviors that result.

Publisher's Summary
The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions
The greatest investment advisor of the 20th 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 listeners 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 listen on how to reach your financial goals.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
Editorial Review
If the stock market had an official bible, it would be The Intelligent Investor. First published in 1949, this financial guide has been on every investor’s lips for decades, and now you can have it in your ears. Listeners who are considering getting into the investment game and long-time investment professionals equally stand to gain something from this title. The strategies that were relevant decades ago have stood the test of time and are just as applicable to the modern day. They have a particular focus on the adoption and execution of sound investment principles. Luke Daniels has narrated no less than 250 titles and received more than a dozen AudioFile Earphones Awards for his efforts. Daniels has worked on countless best sellers including works by Jack Kerouac and Nora Roberts. In his narration for The Intelligent Investor, Daniels offers his distinguished tone and clear cadence in sharing Graham’s invaluable nuggets of investment advice. Benjamin Graham, the man behind this Wall Street bible, began investing at a young age straight after graduating university. He would go on to become an economist and professor. The Intelligent Investor was his second release, which he produced to share many of the lessons he had learned throughout his years in the industry. His work has remained a best seller since its release, and inspired many of the world’s top investors. It also led to his eventual win of the Excellence in Investor Education Award in 2002 for educating the public about value investing.

This book is a time killer. The book revisits SP trends from the past to the present but offers little tricks and tips to help you succeed. The Benjamin method on value investing is useful but could’ve been described in 20 to 30 minutes. This book is great if you’re looking for a history lesson.

A very outdated book
Alot of people seem to think this is the holy grail of investing, maybe it was at one time but not anymore. Listening to this entire audio book felt like an extreme chore because a lot of the information is very outdated and obsolete. While there is some very good information in it, i feel like most chapters could be skipped. This book is pretty much 80% american market history lessons and 20% actual useable knowledge. The best information usually comes at the end of each chapter when the narrator gives you a modern take on things. Its worth a read/listen, but alot of other books have this knowledge more condensed and updated.

This book does not belong on audio
Save yourself the time and just google "value investing Benjamin Graham". Most of the book is spent convincing you of the concept with a myriad of examples, all from the late 19th and early 20th century. Rather than update the book, you get it as it was written decades ago with ancient examples one struggles to relate to and then at the end of the chapter the footnotes bring it up to date. Ben is always referencing tables and charts, which kind of defeats the purpose, for me at least, of an audio book. I highly respect Graham and value investing, but if your already convinced it's a good strategy, then you really just need chapters 14 and 15.

This book is not suitable for audible format
What did you like best about The Intelligent Investor Rev Ed.? What did you like least?
The book is outstanding. Rich material and time tested wisdom from one of the thought leaders and legendary investors of all time.
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator has a monotone voice that makes it hard to follow the material.
Any additional comments?
As someone who has read the intelligent investor many times throughout the years, in my opinion this book is not meant to be listened to in an audible format. You will get much more out of the material by reading, digesting, pausing and sometime re-reading this unique piece of work.

Time tested principles of investing
This is consistent with my observations. Some stocks go up/down related to sentiment and lack of direct events.
I will listen to this again.
It would be ideal if the audiobook also had the charts referenced throughout the book... currently requires user to purchase both formats.

Great Foundation for Financial Education
Though this isnt the most exciting book in the world it is one of the most valuable. A great read for some one just starting to invest or even the season veteran who would be surprised to find they learned a thing or two. This book has been highly recommended for decades and still holds strong because the main focus, theory, principles, and strategies srill apply to today. I will definitely relisten to this audio tap with the hard copy of the book to follow along highlight and take notes. This book is worth it.

Why it's the No.1 Book On Investments
It's easy to see why Warren Buffet consider this "The best book ever written on investments ." Benjamin Graham's advice for the defensive investor (all of us regular people) is simple - DON'T TRY TO BEAT THE MARKET!
99/100 you'll make less (if not lose) money than you would invested in low cost index fund!

Would be 5 stars if this gets updated
Much of this book focuses it's analysis on the 1960s through 1970 as well as the tech bubble and subsequent crash (roughly 1999-2002.)
While many of Graham's fundamental principals are still applicable today, such as the importance of establishing a margin of safety, much of it focuses on individual and conservative stock picking. These days, similar exposure can be achieved by buying an index fund, a point Ben Zweig mentions in his commentary.
Further, many of the examples of extreme losses, irrational investors, and obscenely overpriced issues in the commentary (1999-2002) focus on tech stocks. It would be interesting to see this book updated to include examples during a period more characteristic of typical market conditions.

Definitely a book to study for beginning investors
This book is by no means some pleasure reading novel. Howver for an investor in book and the first I've read it was much more pleasant than expect. There's a lot of numbers and buisness names and acronyms which a beginning investor may not be away of, but you'll learn through this book. It took about the 4th or 5th chapter in till I really got engaged and interested in this book. The begging is filled with unfamiliar jargon and numbers (for a beginner), howver after that point when he starts talking strategy for defensive or offensive investors the is where the interesting stuff stated for me. Overall this book give key examples, practice steps and situations I believe you can apply to investing and your portfolio. Most only all it lays out the mindset and practices of an intelligent investor. I recommend this read all the to the end all while frequently bookmarking chapters and paragraphs you see as critical. Then go back and re read and study these notable points.

Informing but dull
Informing but very monotoned. The narrarator isnt the most thrilling person to listen to and I had to stop and pick up other books in between. very good read but very dry and dull. could use some excitement in the middle of the book

Required reading
For those interested in investing this book is an absolute must read (hear).
The source material can be dry and uninspiring but the underlying principles need to be heard, especially by the risk averse.
The only issue I had was the fact that diagrams are referenced which one can't see if u don't have the book itself.
This audio book and the written book should perhaps go together.
