1. The Intelligent Investor
The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market Bible ever since its original publication in 1949.
Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.
Vital and indispensable, this Harper Business Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.
About the Author: Benjamin Graham was born on May 8th, 1894 and died on September 21st, 1976. He was known as the father of Value Investing. Graham was an American and was born in Britain. His love for finance kept burning bright, as he taught at the Columbian Business School. His keen interest in finance is what has made our present day investments fruitful.
2. Rich Dad Poor Dad
Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with
two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad —
and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing.
The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and
explains the difference between working for money and having your money work
for you.
In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic,
Robert offers an update on what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to
money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will
take readers “fast forward” — from 1997 to today — as Robert assesses how the
principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.
In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad,
messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more
meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago.
As always, readers can expect that Robert will be
candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his
retrospective.
Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.
Rich Dad Poor Dad...
• Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high
income to become rich
• Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
• Shows parents why they can't rely on the school
system to teach their kids about money
• Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
• Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their
future financial success
3. Think & Grow Rich: THE 21st CENTURY
This is the book that gives you the energy and the
development of the thinking necessary to achieve goals. It gives you
information on how to develop the thinking process and mindset to achieve something.
The
book was so inspirational and I think its the best book I've ever read in my
whole life. Its divided into chapters with every chapter containing one or two
stories about his life or his family's or friend's life. I just loved the book.
This is a very good inspirational book. This edition contains commentary adding
more examples of today. It will definitely change the way you think. I firmly
believe that the methods described in the book can make anybody who follows
them extremely successful. A must read for anybody who wants to be successful.
I have just finished reading it, and I am going to go over it again. This is
not a "get rich quick" book.

4. One Up On Wall Street
Penned by the famous mutual-fund manager, Peter
Lynch, this book elaborates the many advantages that an average investor has
over professionals and how they can help them reach financial triumph.
How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money in The
Market explains how your knowledge alone can assist you beat the pros of
investing. From the viewpoint of America's most triumphant money manager,
investment chances are extensively accessible. Whether supermarket or work
place, you can find goods and services everywhere. You have to select these
organizations in which to invest, before they are found by skilled analysts.
You will find more interesting knowledge on investment. Thus the book has
become one of the best seller and treasure among readers. Moreover, this book
provides time less recommendation on money business. This book has discussed
the tips, ebb and flows on building it big in the investment market.
Peter Lynch is America's number-one money manager. His
mantra: Average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick
winning stocks as effectively as Wall Street professionals by doing just a
little research.
Now, in a new introduction written specifically for
this edition of One Up on Wall Street, Lynch gives his take on the incredible
rise of Internet stocks, as well as a list of twenty winning companies of
high-tech '90s. That many of these winners are low-tech supports his thesis
that amateur investors can continue to reap exceptional rewards from mundane,
easy-to-understand companies they encounter in their daily lives.
Investment opportunities abound for the layperson,
Lynch says. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your
immediate world -- from the mall to the workplace -- you can discover
potentially successful companies before professional analysts do. This jump on
the experts is what produces "tenbaggers", the stocks that appreciate
tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.
The former star manager of Fidelity's
multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund, Lynch reveals how he achieved his
spectacular record. Writing with John Rothchild, Lynch offers easy-to-follow
directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots by reviewing a
company's financial statements and by identifying which numbers really count.
He explains how to stalk tenbaggers and lays out the guidelines for investing
in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.
Lynch promises that if you ignore the ups and downs of
the market and the endless speculation about interest rates, in the long term
(anywhere from five to fifteen years) your portfolio will reward you. This
advice has proved to be timeless and has made One Up on Wall Street a
number-one bestseller. And now this classic is as valuable in the new
millennium as ever.

investor. He works as a manager of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity Investments
between 1977 and 1990, Lynch averaged at 29.2% annual return, continuously more

mutual fund in the globe. Lynch is continuously explained as a
"legend" by the financial media for his performance record and was
called "legendary" by Jason Zweig in his 2003 update of Benjamin
Graham's book, The Intelligent Investor.
5. A Random Walk Down Wall Street
With the prevailing wisdom changing on an almost daily basis, Burton G. Malkiel’s reassuring and vastly informative volume remains the best investment guide money can buy.
In a time of increasing inequality, when high-frequency traders and hedge-fund managers seem to tower over the average investor, Burton G. Malkiel’s classic and gimmick-free investment guide is now more necessary than ever. Rather than tricks, what you’ll find here is a time-tested and thoroughly research-based strategy for your portfolio. Whether you’re considering your first 401k contribution or contemplating retirement, this fully-updated edition of A Random Walk Down Wall Street should be the first book on your reading list.
In A Random Walk Down Wall Street you’ll learn the basic terminology of "the Street" and how to navigate it with the help of a user-friendly, long-range investment strategy that really works. Drawing on his own varied experience as an economist, financial adviser, and successful investor, Malkiel shows why an individual who buys over time and holds a low-cost, internationally diversified index of securities is still likely to exceed the performance of portfolios carefully picked by professionals using sophisticated analytical techniques. In this new edition, Malkiel provides a brand-new section on the recent bubble in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, as well as valuable new material on “tax-loss harvesting”—the crown jewel of tax management. He also presents a critical analysis of two recently popular investment-management techniques: factor investing and risk parity.
On top of all this, the book’s classic lifecycle guide to investing, which tailors strategies to investors of any age, will help you plan confidently for the future. You’ll learn how to analyze the potential returns, not only for basic stocks and bonds but for the full range of investment opportunities—from money market accounts and real estate investment trusts to insurance, home ownership, and tangible assets like gold and collectibles. Individual investors of every level of experience and risk tolerance will find throughout the book the critical facts and step-by-step guidance they need to protect and grow their hard-earned dollars.

6. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is the classic guide to getting smart about the market. Legendary mutual fund pioneer John C. Bogle reveals his key to getting more out of investing: low-cost index funds. Bogle describes the simplest and most effective investment strategy for building wealth over the long term: buy and hold, at very low cost, a mutual fund that tracks a broad stock market Index such as the S&P 500.
While the stock market has tumbled and then soared since the first edition of Little Book of Common Sense was published in April 2007, Bogle’s investment principles have endured and served investors well. This tenth anniversary edition includes updated data and new information but maintains the same long-term perspective as in its predecessor.
Bogle has also added two new chapters designed to provide further guidance to investors: one on asset allocation, the other on retirement investing.
A portfolio focused on index funds is the only investment that effectively guarantees your fair share of stock market returns. This strategy is favored by Warren Buffett, who said this about Bogle: “If a statue is ever erected to honor the person who has done the most for American investors, the hands-down choice should be Jack Bogle. For decades, Jack has urged investors to invest in ultra-low-cost index funds. Today, however, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he helped millions of investors realize far better returns on their savings than they otherwise would have earned. He is a hero to them and to me.”
Bogle shows you how to make index investing work for you and help you achieve your financial goals, and finds support from some of the world's best financial minds: not only Warren Buffett, but Benjamin Graham, Paul Samuelson, Burton Malkiel, Yale’s David Swensen, Cliff Asness of AQR, and many others.
This new edition of The Little Book of Common Sense Investing offers you the same solid strategy as its predecessor for building your financial future.
· Build a broadly diversified, low-cost portfolio without the risks of individual stocks, manager selection, or sector rotation.
· Forget the fads and marketing hype, and focus on what works in the real world.
· Understand that stock returns are generated by three sources (dividend yield, earnings growth, and change in market valuation) in order to establish rational expectations for stock returns over the coming decade.
· Recognize that in the long run, business reality trumps market expectations.
· Learn how to harness the magic of compounding returns while avoiding the tyranny of compounding costs.
While index investing allows you to sit back and let the market do the work for you, too many investors trade frantically, turning a winner’s game into a loser’s game. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing is a solid guidebook to your financial future.

Book Description
To Peter Lynch, success in the stock market is pretty basic: if a company's earnings rise, then the stock price goes up. "This simple point--that the price of a stock is directly related to a company's earning power--is often overlooked, even by sophisticated investors," the former Fidelity Magellan manager writes in Learn to Earn, his third book on investing. "This is the starting point for the successful stock picker: find companies that grow their earnings over many years to come."
One of the best managers in the history of mutual funds, Lynch is certainly the person to help people choose the right stocks and understand the market. More so than One Up on Wall Street or Beating the Street, this Lynch book is for beginning investors of all ages. Lynch and co-author John Rothchild are family men who are worried that teenagers aren't learning enough about the importance of American companies in improving lives and creating wealth. Lynch questions why students are taught that Hamlet was a tragic hero and Napoleon was a great general, but they don't know that Sam Walton founded Wal-Mart. In fact, Lynch's grasp of the past is one of the strengths of the book. One of the best chapters is "A Short History of Capitalism," a witty and homespun look at characters like Karl Marx, the Communist who believed capitalism was doomed, and the robber barons, the shrewd railroad magnates of the late 19th century who amassed huge fortunes by manipulating the markets.
Unlike the robber barons, beginning investors, Lynch says, should stick to the basics: get in the habit of saving and investing and putting aside a certain amount every month; develop a strong stomach because the stock market is going to fall and there's no way to anticipate it; do a little homework so you can understand the reasons to own a particular stock; and buy shares in solid companies and don't let go of them without a good reason.
This book marks Lynch's coming out as a fan of "direct investment programs," which are offered by many good companies. You purchase a couple of shares or so directly from the company and then you enroll in a plan and buy more shares each month, in some cases without paying a penny in fees and always without a broker--the way Lynch likes it. Lynch loves these plans because they're a great vehicle for investing a little bit at a time over a long period. Grab onto a company and learn about it, Lynch writes. The more you learn, the more you'll earn. --Dan Ring
9. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius
The stock market is a turbulent place where fortunes dramatically rise and fall. People new to investing in the stock market need to understand the various intricacies involved before they can expect to reap a profit from their investments. You Can Be A Stock Market Genius: Uncover The Secret Hiding Places Of Stock Market Profits is a book that helps people in understanding the ways by which they can make successful investments in the stock market.
The author of this book, Joel Greenblatt, has penned down the insights that he gained from his own experiences as a stock market investor. In this book, the author discusses the advantages that individual investors have over professional money managers, and the ways by which those advantages can be leveraged to their maximum potential.
According to the author, individual investors are able to perform focussed investing and don’t need to maintain a unnecessary portfolio of numerous stocks like money managers. Because there are no time restraints that money managers usually have to deal with, individual investors can go ahead and evaluate their stocks over longer periods of time. In this way, they can afford to wait for those catalysts that drastically increase the value of stocks.
The author emphasises the importance of investing in spin-offs, which are usually those firms that branch out from the parent organisation. You Can Be A Stock Market Genius: Uncover The Secret Hiding Places Of Stock Market Profits is a useful book for amateur investors looking to gain a strong footing in the stock market.
Throughout the book, the author stresses on the importance of meticulous, individual research prior to investing in any particular organisation. You Can Be A Stock Market Genius: Uncover The Secret Hiding Places Of Stock Market Profits was published by Touchstone in 1999
