The book provides strategies on how to successfully use value investing in the stock market. Historically, the book has been one of the most popular books on investing and Graham’s legacy remains.
Sometimes its boring to read and many examples are really old but the core strategies in the book are still valid today and will probably be still important in the future
Read something really interesting in "The Intelligent Investor": “One fairly dependable sign of the approaching end of a bull swing is the fact that new common stocks of small and nondescript companies are offered at prices somewhat higher than the current level for many medium-sized companies with a long market history.” - Benjamin Graham

A must read for any investor of any level.
For a subject that often is so hard to follow, I found the writing style and material to be a great investing reference. My only regret to reading this book is that I haven’t done so earlier.

Honestly I think this book is a little dated. The information is still useful, however there are easier ways to learn it. This book isn't written as clearly as it could be and sometimes felt dry. That being said, Graham still has profound insights about the market, and you can tell how much experience he has. In particular, Graham makes the observation that although rules and regulations change, the market looks the same. This is EXTREMELY telling of human psychology. In other word, people stay the same. People today have the same (Potential) biases as they had 100, 200, 1000 years ago. I'm still thinking about the significance of this thought but I know it is profound.
