Top Benjamin Graham Stocks

About Benjamin Graham: The late Benjamin Graham may be the oldest of the gurus we follow, but his impact on the investing world has lasted for decades after his death in 1976. Known as both the “Father of Value Investing” and the founder of the entire field of security analysis, Graham mentored several of history’s greatest investors — including Warren Buffett — and inspired a slew of others, including John Templeton, Mario Gabelli, and another of Validea’s gurus, John Neff. Graham built his fortune and reputation after living through some extremely difficult times, including both the Great Depression and his own family’s financial woes following his father’s death when Benjamin was a young man. His investment firm posted per annum returns of about 20 percent from 1936 to 1956, far outpacing the 12.2 percent average return for the market during that time.
