I own a copy, read count: 1

There was a lot of interesting history in this book, especially on previous market crashes. I kinda wish there was a newer edition of it, to include the most recent recession.

The advice itself felt less applicable in today's world, because most people should just own index funds, whereas this book focuses on individual stocks, so this felt more like background information. The commentary does try to update this to the current era, but even so, it does not feel very relevant today.

The commentator, Jason Zweig, seems very excited about Ben Graham, perhaps too much so.

Still, this was a good read, just for the history lesson.
