Reorganization
The word reorganization is a euphemism to anyone who has visited the VALUE VAULT. What organization? I rushed to place as much material and readers’ contributions into the VAULT for others. But with more new material, I must organize the material for faster and EASIER access.
I will organize in the categories of SEARCH, VALUATION, PROCESS, INVESTORS, and YOU.
Within the INVESTORS folder, there is a folder, GRAHAM. The contents are listed below. I will slowly be reorganizing the VAULT folder by folder while adding new material. Thoughts are welcome.

Suggestion
If you only had an hour to learn “value” (the hunt for bargains) investing, you should read Chapters, 8 and 20 on “Mr. Market” and “Margin of Safety” in The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham. If you wish to go further, then absorb the book. Graham’s book on the Interpretations of Financial Statement is a good primer for you to read alongside the annual reports of companies that interest you. For the hardcore, tackle Security Analysis. Beginners can step back and read the books from Chris Browne (Tweedy) and Charles Mizrahi. Graham’s star student, Warren E. Buffett, who further refined the value investing approach has a separate folder in the Value Vault.

Intrinsic Value: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SL37GwA6Sc. You should be able to explain The Intelligent Investor to a group of students if you read the book carefully.

Wondering if books should be in BOOKS folder instead?
Yes, I thought of that but I wanted to group the books and videos from a particular investor or subject together. The Greenblatt folder will be a good example of what I am mentioning.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Hi John! Quick question, are we still using yousendit.com? I tried finding the new folders and had no luck. As usual, thanks for this awesome blog.
Yes. I made a new folder and placed all other folders inside it. VV_CS_Inv is the folder. If you don’t have it, I can send you the key.
Thank you! I just sent you an email
Thank you John for all these resources!
Is it only me or do others also experience that yousendit.com is terrible slow? Navigating forth and back the tree is just a pain, it always has to reload each folder again.
Thank you John for all your work!
I think yousendit is slow because of many people accessing the folder/site at the same time. I sent out 85 keys yesterday. I believe it is temporary. Also the reorganization will reduce the number of folders and duplicate material.
If it becomes unbearable, I can talk to service. Also, bandwidth.
Also, the material, once it is up there will be there for a long time, so don’t worry about downloading everything.
Good luck.
