Many blog readers asked me to write about “best books on stock markets”. I am writing about books which helped me immensely in learning about stock markets.
This is not a comprehensive list of “Best books on stock markets” but a list of “my favourite books on stock markets”.
My favourite books on Stock Markets:
1. One up on Wall Street: Peter Lynch. This is a must read to learn about stock markets.
2. The Intelligent investor: Benjamin Graham. Warren Buffett learnt a lot by reading this book.
3. Security Analysis: Benjamin graham. This book is a must read for every value investor. This is “The Bible on value investing”.
4. The Best Investment advice I ever received: Liz Claman. Simple investment lessons from stock market legends.
5. All about Stock market strategies: David brown and Kasandra Bentley.
6. Your Money and Your Brain: Jason Zweig. Psychology plays vital role in stock market movements especially over short term. This book is all about brain’s role over your investment decisions.
7. Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings: Philip Fisher.
8. Wise investing made simple: Larry Swedroe.
9. Contrarian Investment strategies: David Dreman. Contra investors always make money due to their investment style and duration. But these investors needs extreme patience to make money.
10. Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist: Lowenstein Roger. Read this book to know about the legendary investor.
11. The New Market Wizards: Conversations with America’s top traders – Jack Schwager.
12. Lessons from the Greatest Stock Traders of All time: John Boik. Good book for traders.
Note: I am requesting readers to suggest their favourite books which helped them in taking better investment decisions. You should not just read these books but you should "eat them". One should learn about stock markets by doing hard work like reading books and magazines. You need to learn about Companies and businesses. There are no shortcuts to make money in stock markets.
Stock Market Nostalgia: On November 15 in 1867, the first stock ticker was unveiled in New York City. It was invented by Edward Calahan, who configured a telegraph machine to print stock quotes on streams of paper tape. In 1869, Thomas Edison patented an improved, easier-to-use version of Calahan's ticker.
Note: I am not responsible for your investment decisions.
