Deepak answers “What kind of background is required to...”

Mohit Shukla asked this question about The Intelligent Investor (Collins Business Essentials):

What kind of background is required to actually understand this book. I tried reading it once but couldn't understand much. Can anyone tell me the books, I should read first in order to go through The Intelligent Investor. Thanks!

I found it a little hard to start because there were so many terms that were unknown to me. But before even starting to read this book, I started to investing ("Gambling" in Mr Graham's language) in stocks and learnt a little from there. After that it got a little easy to understand, after that if I come across any term that is unknown to me, I look for a definition on Investopedia.com and then continue reading the book.

While reading this book, taking small notes on side has helped a lot. Though I am also planning for re-read just after few days I have completed reading this.(less)
