The Top 5 Investing Books

Here are the books that made a real difference in my investing journey:

Key Takeaways

  • The Education of a Value Investor by Guy Spier: This is my absolute favourite. It doesn't matter if you're good at maths or accounting; this book can genuinely turn you into a better investor.
  • The Dhando Investor by Mohnish Pabrai: This book simplifies the stock market for small businesses. It breaks down how to approach investing in a really straightforward way.
  • Learn to Earn by Peter Lynch: Whether it's microeconomics, macroeconomics, money supply, or market structure, this book covers all the necessary disciplines for becoming a good investor.
  • The Essays of Warren Buffett: Compiled from Buffett's annual letters over 50 years, this book contains his best insights. It's a great source for understanding value investing.
  • The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham: Often called the 'Bible' of investing, this is the source material. However, for those whose first language isn't English, like myself, it can be a bit challenging to read. It's an excellent book, but if English isn't your native tongue, you might find it a bit tough going. I'd suggest reading the other four first before tackling this one.
