Top 100 most influential books on investment

**uncle9** · 27-06-2008, 02:59 AM

Investment related books for those who want to gain more knowledge. Earlier this week I also asked my friends to let me know if they had read any great books in the past year. Without any measure of doubt, the #1 book recommended by readers (by a large overwhelmingly margin) was Entries & Exits : Visits to 16 Trading Rooms by Dr. Alexander Elder.

actually its 88 books. i got the list from a hk investors forum, thread was titled 88 books to 8 (in cantonese, 88 books to strike rich) i threw in another 12 titles of my own picks

for each book, i reckon it'll take 2 weeks to read and digest the book's essence. but it'll be ongoing. after reading, apply what you've learnt in the real markets. go back, re-read, see where you've missed out or where you could've done better

but seriously, books are only a guide. to succeed as an investor, education and experience have foremost importance. books do not tailor to each and every individuals' risk appetite, investment strategy/preference and financial situation. its up to the reader to sift thru the mumbo jumbo to find what he/she/it needs.
