From the Inside Flap

"Buy a business, don't rent stocks.", Warren Buffett

While you've probably heard numerous "financial experts" talk about the many ways to make money in the markets, the fact is, there's only one strategy that has truly proven itself over the years. Thanks to the foundation laid out by Benjamin Graham and expanded upon by Warren Buffett and others, value investing , which consists of buying the stock of companies that trade for less than their intrinsic value in order to maximize return while minimizing risk , has helped countless individuals consistently build wealth by avoiding permanent capital loss.

Successful value investors have an ingrained mental framework through which all investment decisions are made. This framework, which stems from Graham's belief that "investment is most intelligent when it is most businesslike," can put you in a better position to improve the overall performance of your portfolio.
