Bill Gurley
American businessman
“A lot to like in the McKinsey Valuation book, as always. But this section left me scratching my head. Investors have to deal with the world as it is, not the world as the wish it to be. @AswathDamodaran”

Consider The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. Recommended by 21 sources.
“This is a slow, meticulous read that builds value investing principles through exhaustive stock comparisons and portfolio theory. The core useful insight is Graham’s emphasis on a margin of safety and treating market fluctuations as your servant, not your guide. The limitation: many examples hail from the 1940s-1970s, making the data feel irrelevant, and the prose can be pedantic, stretching patience. You'll get the timeless philosophy but must wade through antiquated case studies.”
