Nothing new here
I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t find any new concepts in the book, I think it’s closer to Rich dad poor dad than to an actual investment book. Very general advice.

Value investing for the beginner from a pro
On a recent trip to Brandes Investment Management to consider them as a money manager, I was given this book as the founder of the firm wrote it.
I recently purchased Value Investing Today hoping to find a book that would give me information on how to select value stocks. Instead, what I found was a book that just skimmed the surface on value investing. The interesting part about the book was its emphasis on foreign stocks as value investments. But then the book went into detail as to accounting differences between countries – squashing the idea that an individual could pick single foreign stocks. I think this book would be good for someone who had no idea what value investing was and just wanted to get a broad overview of the subject / technique. I would not recommend this book to someone who was looking for any kind of in depth information. While this book did have some interesting / valuable pieces of information, I don’t see it as a book that an investor would refer to often. My suggestion: Get the book out of the library and read it once.

Explains simply modern value investing.
Successful money manager, Charles Brandes, explains in plain language the important lessons taught by Benjamin Graham.
Books on value investing, as I observed, have two apporaches: Quantitative & Qualitative.
Quali: The Intelligent Investor & The little book on value investing.
Quant: Value investing from graham to buffett, John Neff on Investing.
This book is qualitative and very shallow. Good for people who have no idea of value investing.
The book, I speculate, is more like a brochure/prospectus of their mutual fund.
Although there is no “magin formula”, I had read many value investing books that illustrate somewhat concrete and detailed approach to analyzing fin statements and ratios. This is book way way too shallow.
