I thought that it would be nice to make a topic where we can all share our favorite investing books. I made a start by sharing my favorite English and Dutch investing books. Feel free to add more books to the list in the comments!
Benjamin Graham -The intelligent investor
Maybe the most classic book about investing, written by the man who taught Warren Buffett. Originally written 50 years ago, and it is still relevant. Everything you need to know about value investing.
Robert Kiyosaki - Rich Dad Poor Dad
This book is a must have If you want to have a financial wake-up call. Itās focussing a lot on the US financial system/market.
Scott Rieckens - Playing with Fire
Follows the authorās decision to follow FIRE and his ups and downs including trying to get his wife on board, dealing with friends and family views on FIRE.
Kristy Shen - Quit like a millionaire
A powerful and inspirational story about the author growing up poor and leaving poverty behind. This book is very US and Canada centered.
Janneke Willemse - Blondjes beleggen beter
This book is a very valuable handbook for anyone who wants to take his or her first steps on the stock market but does not yet know exactly how the world of investing works and could use some guidance.
Oeds-Jan Postma - Miljonair met een gewone baan
A must read for anyone who is not aware of his/her money habits and wants to get started with investing.
Hendrik Oude Nijhuis -Leer beleggen als Warren Buffett
This book will give you more substantive insight into long-term investing. Itās fairly approachable to read and there is content on how best to approach an investment according to Warren Buffet.
Thank you for sharing @ticker Iām definitely going to check out John Bogleās ideas! And congrats on your first post btw!
Iām currently reading the $100 startup by Chris Guillebeau. Itās not really a book about āinvestingā but it gives you a clear vision of how you can start your own business
What about the black swan from nassin Nicholas taleb? It is highly rated. I didnāt read it yet, but I am gonna read/listen it yet. Do you know which of the books above are mentioned on storytel? Cause I am thinking about to start using it.
Anything by Peter Lynch, he has a very relaxed style of writing, itās very informal and entertaining to read.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is good for the actual train of through within it. The author gets called a liar for supposedly making up the entire story but whether or not he did, is completely irrelevant. The actual information and thoughts within is still very valid even if the story itself is made up.
Benjamin Graham - The Intelligent Investor is also a good one although more āformalā then the books by Peter Lynch.
I would suggest getting initiated with Limitless from Jim Kwik, to increase the efficiency of reading all these great investment books, if youād like to get to read a book per week.
The Richest man in Babylon. Not just for investing per se, rather a read for the general mindset related to finances and investing in the broader sense of the word(s)
I would also recommend to read āthe millionaire next doorā It is not only about investing but everything about building wealth. This book helps you understand who the wealthy people really are in the world. Here is a link to a free pdf where you can read the book.
Thanks guys for the recommendations, especially Little Book that Stillā¦ (@Cornel) and One Up on Wall Street (@dogafincan). Iām also an avid fan of Taleb (@Daan), Black Swan is part of Incerto, with the great book, amongst others, Antifragile.
Right now Iām reading Black Edge by Sheelah Kolhatkar, and, God, guys, you have to buy this or find it in a library. Sheās such a good writer that she makes financial stuff seem like the most exciting thing in the world, think Jason Bourne meets Warren Buffett. Itās about the dark side though, about Steven Cohenās SAC hedge fund trading on information illegally obtained before it got public. Damn, what they didā¦
