TAILIEUCHUNG - The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book On Value part 3

The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book On Value part 3. The purpose of this book is to supply, in a form suitable for laymen, guidance in the adoption and execution of an investment policy.

We shall, however, provide a number of condensed comparisons of specific securities - chiefly in pairs appearing side by side in the New York Stock Exchange list in order to bring home in concrete fashion the important elements involved in specific choices of common stocks | 6 Introduction In the past we have made a basic distinction between two kinds of investors to whom this book was addressed the defensive and the enterprising.

For example smart investors or their smart advisers would long ago have recognized the great growth possibilities of the computer industry as a whole and of International Business Machines in particular. And similarly for a number of other growth industries and growth companies. But this is not as easy as it always looks in retrospect. To bring this point home at the outset let us add here a paragraph that we included first in the 1949 edition of this book.
