Benjamin Prado

As the global economy endures tumultuous twists and turns largely due to unsound and unsustainable investment strategies, it is important to rediscover and pay heed to the ideas of economists such as Benjamin Graham. The crux of Graham's philosophy is approaching securities investment from a real wealth, real value perspective that focuses on long-term wealth creation. Graham's mindset is the opposite of that which has led to "destructively creative," or to put it more bluntly, downright fraudulent accounting techniques and dangerously speculative short-term investment schemes that have caused such economic upheaval on a global scale throughout the better part of the last decade.Contemporary economic luminaries such as billionaire Warren E. Buffett agree.
