It is still in print, having sold over 100,000 copies. It has been translated into five languages. Business school professors still assign it in their courses. But in the 20 years since the First Edition , the economy has changed, the investment world has evolved, and the discipline of value investing has adapted to this new environment. This Second Edition responds to these developments. It extends and refines an approach to investing that began with Benjamin Graham and David Dodd during the Great Depression and was adapted by Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and others to earn returns in an environment in which the opportunity to buy a stock worth a dollar for 50 cents is no longer waiting in plain sight. The foundation of this book is the course on value investing that Bruce Greenwald taught at Columbia Business School for almost a quarter century. His aim in the course, and our aim in the book, is to help the investor operating in the Graham and Dodd tradition find him or herself on the right side of the trade. The steps include searching for the right securities, valuing them appropriately, honing a research strategy to devote time to the right activities, and wrapping it all within a risk management practice that protects the investor from permanent loss of capital. Successful value investing practitioners have graced both the course and this book with presentations describing what they really do when they are at work.

The value investing style was out of favor in 1999 when that First Edition came out, as it is now. The reversal that followed was swift and brutal for those who had abandoned the time proven strategies of value investing. This edition, revised and updated, with much new content, is even better. Buy it. Study it. Profit from it." ―Bill Miller, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Investment Officer, Miller Value Partners "Since the Global Financial Crisis, and especially thus far in 2020, 'growth investing' has significantly outperformed 'value.' Some say value investing is dead, while others say the success of growth investing has been driven by recent good company performance and a virtuous circle stemming from the rise in passive investing. It's important to adapt to changes in the world but just as important not to lose track of the time-tested principles regarding what makes for good underlying value in an investment. This book is an invaluable guide to an approach that investors must comprehend regardless of which side of the fence they stand on." ―Howard Marks , Co-chairman and Co-founder, Oaktree Capital
