My Take
As someone fascinated by investing, I hold Benjamin Graham in near-reverence. Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor did not just describe value investing; they invented the discipline and trained generations, Warren Buffett included. What I admire most is his insistence on temperament over excitement: judge a business by its numbers, not by the crowd's mood. That clarity feels almost radical even today, when markets run on hype and noise. Graham died in 1976, yet his framework still governs how serious investors think. To me he is less a man than a permanent fixture of financial common sense.
