The Little Book of Value Investing
Christopher H. Browne · 2006
🎙 Narrated by John Bedford Lloyd
72/100
👍 Worth It
Browne distills genuine Tweedy Browne practice wisdom here, and the inclusion of international value investing is a real differentiator from most primers on the subject. The principles — intrinsic value, margin of safety, patience — remain sound, but a 2006 publication date means the specific examples predate the 2008 financial crisis, the rise of passive investing, and 20 years of market evolution that any serious investor now has to account for. John Bedford Lloyd reads it at a measured professional pace that suits the methodical tone.
