They were called \"diagnosticians,\" and they didn't do much analyzing. These investors prided themselves on going with the \"feel\" of the market, and most of them rarely looked at a financial statement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppalled by the lack of research and quantification, Benjamin Graham set out to change all this--and ended up creating the discipline of modern security analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA collection of rare writings by and interviews with one of financial history's most brilliant visionaries, \u003ci\u003eBenjamin Graham, Building a Profession\u003c\/i\u003e presents Graham's evolution of ideas on security analysis spanning five decades.
