List of must read Investment books

Hi everyone. I decided that I had to include some of the books that I read when I was starting out investing. I’m sure it would help you get a better understanding from the knowledge in those books and from the wise men that wrote those books. There’s a wealth of information there and experience that we can otherwise never obtain.

Here are some that I personally recommend to begin with:

The intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham


Benjamin Graham was widely regarded as the father of investing and was also the mentor of Warren Buffett. It was said that he averaged an annual return of 20%. Great read for his insights and timeless advices.

Peter lynch, one of the greatest investors explains his strategies for pick stocks and investing. As legendary money manager averaging a 29.2% annual return, his books are a must read.
