In this first lesson, we will learn a new tool which will help us avoid costly investing mistakes. We will learn to identify sound investments from speculations so we do not fall into the trap of speculating while we only think that we’re investing. We will see that sometimes it is OK to speculate but we must so intelligently.

The lesson is based on the teachings of Benjamin Graham, which are always interesting and intriguing to both novice investors and professionals alike.
