Ben Graham is the father of value investing, the mentor of arguably the century 's greatest investor, Warren Buffett .

Graham 's personal investment firm posted annualized returns of about 20% , some people say 17% from 1936 to 1956 .

This outpaced the broader market average of 12.2% over that time.

Buffett used these tenets he was taught to find his first partnership in 1957 , where he achieved an annual average return of 31.6% with no losing years .

Think of the market as though he were a very Moody , unstable and sometimes manic stock salesman.

Benjamin Graham offers a different way of viewing the market, which helps us outsmart it.

When he's all sad and depressed, when he's knocking at your door selling stocks cheaply, time to buy.

Graham says we need to distinguish the stocks price from the actual value of the business.

3rd is the dividend yield of at least 2/3 of the current AAA bond yield.

4th is stock price below 2 -3 of tangible book value per share.
