For trade execution, The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham prescribes buying financially sound companies with a margin of safety using moderate valuations (price no more than 15 times average earnings and price-to-book no more than 1.5, with P/E×P/B not exceeding 22.5), stable 10-year earnings, and a long, uninterrupted dividend record, while avoiding excessive leverage.

Practically, this means screening for large, conservatively financed firms with a current ratio of at least 2 and long-term debt not exceeding net current assets (for industrials), alongside the earnings and dividend criteria, before diversifying to reduce single-name risk.

For timing and risk control, Graham recommends maintaining a disciplined stock–bond allocation and using dollar-cost averaging to mitigate entry-point risk and reinforce investor temperament over prediction.
