The Investor's Shelf — one person
DL

David L. Dodd

Finance professor at Columbia Business School who co-wrote Security Analysis with Benjamin Graham in 1934.

Security Analysis established the discipline itself: how to read financial statements for what a security is actually worth, how to separate investment from speculation, and how a margin of safety absorbs analytical error. The Columbia teaching behind it produced the method every later value investor works from.
