Dave, we all have our favorite books.
I like "A Thousand Miles from Wall Street" by Tony Gray, "Do You Want to Make Money or Would You Rather Fool Around?" by John Spooner. All the Train books, e.g. "The Craft of Investing", "The Midas Touch", "The New Money Masters"
I don't have too many Buffett books. Lot of rehash by authors, seems to me. I have Graham books and papers (lecture notes) of course.
And I've got a good bunch from previous generations, a favorite being "48 Years in the Stock Market" by Laurence Jarvinen, pub. 1970. (He got out of the market in early 1929, and reinvested over next decades.) "Finding Undervalued Stocks", pub. in '60's Loeb's "The Battle for Investment Survival", '52 edition. I have ALL of Phil Fisher's books. Of course, "Super Stocks" by his son. Occasionally I'll look at "100 to 1 in the Stock Market" by Phelps.
For psychology, I like Pring's "Investment Psychology Explained". For spending money, I have Giles' "Moneylove". For living life for us older guys, I have "The 'rest of your life' is the Best of Your Life, by movie producer David Brown.
I like Greenblatt's "You Can be a Stock Market Genius", but I've not read nor do I own his latest 'magic investing' book.
I have lots more investment books stored in my garage.
The most recent used book I bought was Jim Paul's "What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars". The latest investment new book I bought (last month) was Mergent's "Dividend Achievers, Winter 2006". |
