First published in the mid-20th century, it remains a cornerstone of value investing, emphasizing long-term thinking, margin of safety, and rational decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benjamin Graham clearly distinguishes investing from speculation, explaining how emotions, market cycles, and excessive optimism can lead to costly mistakes.
