The individual investor is taking more and more financial responsibility on theirself. Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett and many other highly respected investors have warned them of the difficulties that await them, but few investors heed their advice. Instead, many savers try their luck in the great frenetic money game, only to be consumed by the impersonal and uncompromising world of Wall Street. Despite these hardships, it is now clear that individual investors are a permanent fixture in the investing world. It's best to realize this now. While the dangers and difficulties of investing must be made clear, The Enterprising Investor can not be ignored. We should work to insure the tools they need to succeed are available, and this book aims to fill part of that need. In the spirit of Graham and Dodd, it develops a thorough and robust framework that The Enterprising Investor can use as a firm foundation in this unsettled world.
