Ben Graham Would Love These 2 Stocks: HFC, GLW

The most successful investors have had a mentor for guidance during their formative years.
Even Warren Buffett, one of the world's greatest investors, gives credit to his instructor for his success. While it is possible to learn through experience in the stock market, having a mentor greatly shortens the learning curve.

 

The market is a treacherous place and learning by trial and error can be costly and destructive to your portfolio. Fortunately, investors don't need to have a personal relationship with an investing mentor to succeed in the stock market. In fact, the same educational information available to Buffett is available to regular investors like you and me.

Buffett credits economist, professor and investor Benjamin Graham as being his mentor during his learning years.

Graham had such a profound effect on the young Buffett, that he named his son Howard Graham Buffett in honor of his teacher. Only Buffett's own father had more of an influence on him than Graham.

Graham is most known as being the originator of value investing. Along with teaching the technique as a professor at Columbia Business School, Graham wrote the book "Security Analysis" to pass along his strategies to all investors. This book, along with the subsequent "The Intelligent Investor," are among the most respected writings in all of finance. (more)
