Indeed, it would be intelligent to invest a few dollars in that great book.

I see you have a Kindle 3 - here's a link to the Kindle edition on Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Intelligent-In...=A7B2F8DUJ88VZ

or, if you're in the UK:

I don't think this guy even looked at the valid channels. This book has been available in mobi format for a long time. It is also has been available at amazon for years now.

DMSmillie made a point :-) To make thing even funnier, the simplest Google search shows, well, different versions.

Maybe.

Somewhere in Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street, he writes that Intelligent Investor author Benjamin Graham allowed, shortly before his death, that his method of fundamental analysis no longer works.

My cheapskate recommendation for legitimately getting a first rate investment book on your Kindle is The Elements of Investing (2010) by Charles Ellis and Burton Malkiel, currently offered as a free Pdf download by the non-profit Vanguard Group of investment companies. Malkiel is a longtime Vanguard director, and Ellis also has a history with Vanguard, so this is on the level. It was linked in a prior thread:

I saved the Pdf download on my PC hard drive, opened it, and then did a save as text. Then I emailed it to my free.kindle.com address. I found it a pleasure to read, although one or two charts were mis-formatted.

Steve, any particular reason you went the extra step of saving the pdf as text? Amazon converts PDF. I sent a pdf with footnotes just yesterday, bracing myself for poor-yet-readable results. Oh, my... was I surprised! The footnotes were shown in gray and a smaller font. Not headers, no footers or page numbers. Beautiful.

I think he forgot to tell Warren Buffett

Anyhow thanks for the link I'll be downloading that ASAP.

Buffett still follows Grahams method but he allows for Fishers philosophy as well.

Well, a few dollars won't kill anybody and after reading Intelligent Investor some time ago (goes with a job as an editor in a business newspaper), I think that's money well spent. At least one can see what's in that famous book. Of course, other opinions are welcomed, there is one Bible and in investing there's no thing like Bible. (OK, there are more than one version of Bible but you know what I mean

)

Past experiences with other long texts.

I did just try emailing the pdf in question to my free.kindle.com address with Convert as the subject. Amazon's conversion looks reasonably good.
