Synopsis "The Interpretation of Financial Statements: The Classic 1937 Edition"

"All investors, from beginners to old hands, should gain from the use of this guide, as I have."From the Introduction by Michael F. Price, president, Franklin Mutual Advisors, Inc.Benjamin Graham has been called the most important investment thinker of the twentieth century. As a master investor, pioneering stock analyst, and mentor to investment superstars, he has no peer. The volume you hold in your hands is Graham's timeless guide to interpreting and understanding financial statements. It has long been out of print, but now joins Graham's other masterpieces, The Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, as the three priceless keys to understanding Graham and value investing. The advice he offers in this book is as useful and prescient today as it was sixty years ago. As he writes in the preface, "if you have precise information as to a company's present financial position and its past earnings record, you are better equipped to gauge its future possibilities. And this is the essential function and value of security analysis." Written just three years after his landmark Security Analysis, The Interpretation of Financial Statements gets to the heart of the master's ideas on value investing in astonishingly few pages. Readers will learn to analyze a company's balance sheets and income statements and arrive at a true understanding of its financial position and earnings record. Graham provides simple tests any reader can apply to determine the financial health and well-being of any company. This volume is an exact text replica of the first edition of The Interpretation of Financial Statements, published by Harper & Brothers in 1937. Graham's original language has been restored, and readers can be assured that every idea and technique presented here appears exactly as Graham intended. Highly practical and accessible, it is an essential guide for all business people--and makes the perfect companion volume to Graham's investment masterpiece The Intelligent Investor.

Benjamin Graham (nacido Benjamin Grossbaum) (Londres, 8 de mayo de 1894 – 21 de septiembre de 1976) fue un inversor, autor y profesor. Lo conocían como The Dean of Wall Street. Graham es considerado el padre del Value Investing (inversión en valor), una estrategia de inversión que empezó a enseñar en la Columbia Business School (Escuela de Negocios de Columbia) en 1928 y cuyo término refinó posteriormente a lo largo de las ediciones de su famoso libro Security Analysis (Análisis de Valores), coescrito con David Dodd. Además, también se le reconoce como el padre del activismo accionario. Entre los discípulos de Graham se encuentran Charles Brandes, Tom Knapp, Warren Buffett, William J. Ruane, Buffett reconoce que Graham fue quien le proveyó con una sólida estructura intelectual para la inversión y lo describe como la persona que más ha influido en su vida después de su padre. De hecho, Graham tuvo tal influencia en sus estudiantes que dos de ellos, Buffett y Kahn, nombraron a sus hijos, Howard Graham Buffett y Thomas Graham Kahn, en su honor.
