This is the one of the most influential book of my entire life. What Graham advocates in this book is not only how to make money though investment he educates over and over again the basic principles business: the emotional framework and analytical tools.
I don't see any reason why someone fails to make a beneficial investment who fallows throughly the principles as outlined in the book of Graham. In today's economic situation when everything changes overnight someone like myself needs to dig into his brain every word that comes out of Graham's book.
Economic situations will change over time but Graham's fundamental teachings will stay intact.
Graham was a major influence in Warren Buffett's life. This book is easier to read than the other.
