Recommended Books

Dreman, David, Contrarian Investment Strategies
Dreman’s books are based on extensive research.  He shows that stocks with low price to earnings, low price to book value, low price to cash flow and high-dividend stocks outperform other stocks. This means that “growth” investors start with a disadvantage. On average “value” stocks outperform the market.

Brandes, Charles, Value Investing Today

Greenwald, Bruce, Value Investing

Graham, Ben, The Intelligent Investor
A classic written for the ordinary investor
