TimbaBear and Wink: One thing that stuck with me about "The Intelligent Investor" is the discussion about stock market effort and the results thereof. Graham points out something about in any endeavor of work, the more effort, the greater the expected return. But this is not necessarily true regarding stock market investing he says. So my comments to you gentlemen or ladies:

1. It's not high school. Doing homework won't necessarily get the grade or protect you from failing the course here. Although one supposes that doing lots of research/homework is the way to play the game -- as I've posted before - I've seen no evidence to show that one's in depth research correlates to one's stock market gains.

2. Security Analysis -the Book- is just about useless. It's called the Bible of Security Analysis - and like the Bible, more talked about than read. Regarding this book (Graham's).... pass. Just my opinion, and I believe I am in the minority in this position also.
