The Intelligent Investor

What makes Intelligent Investor one of the best investing books for beginners is that he talks at length about how to focus on the long-term health of a company or holding as a way to limit your risk. Again, the idea is focusing on a long-term wealth building strategy and not chasing after short-term gains. If that’s not enough, Graham was Warren Buffett’s mentor so you know he knew a little bit about what he was talking about.
