\"Benjamin<\/p>\n

Benjamin Graham is widely recognized as the father of value investing. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was born as Benjamin Grossbaum on May 9, 1894, in London as the oldest son into a Jewish family. <\/span><\/p>\n

When Graham was one year old, his parents, Isaac M. and Dorothy Grossbaum, migrated to the US. They lived in New York, where Isaac began an export-import trade. <\/span><\/p>\n

His childhood was really traumatic. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was just a nine-year-old boy when his father Isaac died. Graham’s mother Dorothy stayed alone to take care of Benjamin and his two younger brothers, Leon and Victor. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fathers death was one just a first in serial of unfortunate events.<\/span><\/p>\n

His mother Dorothy stayed to manage the family business but the Bank Panic stole her savings 1907, four years after her husband died. <\/span><\/p>\n

The family was dumped to poverty. Almost over the night, they lost everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

And finally, the family was forced to move in with her brother.<\/span><\/p>\n
