Overview of Margin of Safety

Klarman's legendary 1991 value investing guide - once a "flop" with just 5,000 copies printed - now sells for $2,500 per copy. This cult classic outlines risk-averse strategies that sophisticated investors consider more accessible than Graham's own "Intelligent Investor."

When Everyone's Chasing Returns, Smart Money Protects Capital

Here's a curious paradox: a 1991 investment book that's never been reprinted sells for thousands of dollars on the secondhand market. Warren Buffett keeps it on his shelf. Hedge fund titans consider it required reading. What makes Seth Klarman's "Margin of Safety" so valuable isn't a secret formula for beating the market - it's something far more radical. It argues that your primary goal shouldn't be making money at all. It should be not losing it. In a world obsessed with returns, this focus on risk feels almost subversive. Yet it's precisely this counterintuitive wisdom that has allowed value investors to sleep soundly through market crashes that devastated everyone else. Warren Buffett's first rule of investing is "Don't lose money," and his second rule is "Never forget the first rule." Loss avoidance should be every investor's primary goal - not avoiding all risk, but protecting principal over time. The mathematics of compounding make this crucial: even modest returns compound dramatically over decades, while a single large loss can destroy years of gains.
