You can be a genius at analyzing which companies to buy, but unless you have the patience and the courage to hold on the shares, you're an odds-on favorite to become a mediocre investor. It's not always brainpower that separates good investors from bad; often, it's discipline.

Another great book which should be read by you if you want to put some cash in stocks. If you want to allocate your cash into stocks instead of bonds or time deposits (or build portfolios with stocks and bonds) I encourage you to read this book.
This book is much technical than The Intelligent Investor and it was written before The Intelligent Investor, thus it was very difficult for me to read this one.

So if you want to read this book, get the latest edition; don't be me and don't waste your time :P
