The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham has been a must read for over 50 years. It explains the enduring truths of investing and doesn’t indulge in fads found in most investing books.

Stocks the darts landed on outperformed the expert picks and indexes like the combined average of the S&P 500 outperform most individual picks. About five years ago I invested in a company I knew well enough to have confidence that it wouldn’t go south. My reasons for thinking it would go up were wrong but then they brought out a new product and the stock shot up. So with a little skill and a lot of luck I did well. Knowledge of investing, specific industries, and companies helps you avoid losers but you still can’t predict the future.
