An Hour with Ben Graham

Below is a 1976 interview with Benjamin Graham at his home in Lo Jolla, CA.  Mr. Hartman L. Butler, Jr., CFA recorded the conversation via his cassette recorder and then transcribed the interview which is displayed just below.  The conversation touches on Graham's shift from the "selective approach to the group approach" with less emphasis on the individual company.  I think it is an interesting to see someone like Joel Greenblatt start to shift his emphasis similarly to the group approach
