Benjamin Graham is the father of value investing based on price versus fundamental underlying business value. He was a college professor, successful investor, money manager, and the best selling author of the classic book ‘The Intelligent Investor’ and co-authored ‘Security Analysis’. He taught at Columbia Business School and UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. His top student, Warren Buffett, used his investing principles along with others from Phillip Fisher, and Charlie Munger to achieve the the title of richest person in the world. 

Benjamin Graham’s investing method believed in buying companies for less than their intrinsic business value based on their stock price and market cap. One of his primary principles was to  create a great risk/reward ratio on entry when a stock was at a low price versus what a company is worth. His exit strategy for a stock was selling the company as it reverted back closer to its true intrinsic business, asset, and cash flow value.
