I've never read a finance book or stock book before, should I start with the intelligent investor? If not, what should I read to be able to understand the intelligent investor?
It's a hefty book, but I think you'll manage. Try to read many more than one book. The more you know, the more you will earn.
Though do realize that the principles are sound; the details are not.

thought some of it would be outdated by now, but the main beliefs would stand. Thanks for telling me that

How much of it goes beyond "be calm, don't make decisions based on fear, invest for the long term"? I feel like that's gotta be the main thrust of it, but I'm sure there's more

It's much more specific, you'll know what I mean if you read it. If you're unsure, read a summary for a quick overview.

It was written before index funds were around, so it is obsolete
Had he written the book today he would just say "buy an index"
I prefer this kino
I'm reading Security Analysis right now. Graham is redpill on investing. What it really means. Why everyone else is fucking retarded.

What do you mean by "the details are not" ?
I'm halfway in and its my first book in finance, I'm liking it a lot and it has given my the idea to go for a finance master. Financial analyst or portfolio manager seem to be nice jobs.

I guess most people read the Zweig one nowadays? Did he rewrite it completely?

He wrote a small chapter of commentary after each chapter from graham.
It usually either sums up graham thoughts and/or give recent exemples.
All you need
This one is good. Small book, covers what you need to know
