Name the British-born American investor, economist and professor widely known as the 'father of value investing' and co-author of the neoclassical investing: "Security Analysis" book which was the basis for an article by Warren Buffett published in the fall issue of 'Hermes' in 1984?
The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville" is an article by Warren Buffett promoting value investing, published in the Fall, 1984 issue of "Hermes", Columbia Business School magazine. It was based on a speech given on May 17, 1984, at the Columbia University School of Business in honor of the 50th anniversary of the publication of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's book "Security Analysis". The speech and article challenged the idea that equity markets are efficient through a study of nine successful investment funds generating long-term returns above the market index. All these funds were managed by Benjamin Graham's alumni, pursuing different investment tactics but following the same "Graham-and-Doddsville" value investing strategy.
