Is this a joke?

>>613168
You must have never read the book.

Rich dad, Poor dad ;
The Cashflow Quadrant ;
The Art of War ;

>>613168
No? I've not read it myself (yet), but I see this reccomended on /biz/ constantly.

>>613203
For a total newbie it's ok, get your mind right and stuff.

>>613168
It's a excellent general "starting point".
From there you have to decide in what direction you want to increase your investment knowledge.

Poor Charlie's Almanac

Yeh. Rich dad poor dad is considerd shit tier garbage. Its the "reccomend me a investo book" equivalent to us replying "buy pnd" when someone asks for investment advise

>>613245
It is much better than "The richest man in Babylon" or whatever this book is called. I have never been so disappointed with a book.

>>613168
I read it, a lot is logic and common knowledge but still a decent read. It's nice to have your ideas reinforced.

>>612678
You don't need to read books. Personal Finance is pretty straightforward. A day of Googling will pretty much teach you everything.

Books about what? Business, personal finance, investing, richfag circlejerking?

People don't like hearing the brutal truth

if the "the intelligent investor" is the ideal starting point for long term investors, this is equivalent for short term swing/momentum traders

don't touch get rich quick schemes or self-help books, even if you have a healthy of skepticism there is no point spending precious time on them

if you ever seriously considered being part of a multi-marketing scheme or spending $2000 on a "day trading start up kit" then you need to stop everything you're doing and start evaluating your psychological state

your goal should be to learn something new every day, how oil futures trading market works, look up the SEC filings for a company that you're hearing a lot of internet chatter about, learn about logical fallacies, how to avoid them and how to improve your critical thinking skills, trade paper

>>613157
Also, I don't know if any of you know this, but if you want to read the book but don't want to buy it the whole audiotape is on youtube for free.

>>613297
there is nothing wrong with mutual funds though. Great lazy long term investing. 99% better than most /biz/ get rich quick q/a bullshit

>recommends going into debt to buy a house that you want to sell

Currently reading Think and Grow Rich. It's not really a book on how to make money, but how to motivate yourself in general (he sticks to money-making as the ultimate desire, but I think the book's tactics can be applied to any goal in life). Despite being 50% pseudoscience, the methods are still by far the most practical for becoming motivated to work that I've ever seen. If you sit on your ass all day, this book is for you. If you already work ten hours a day, this book may still have some value, but not as much as others out there.

>>recommends going into debt to buy a house that you want to sell

>Implying this is the take away from the book

Do you even reading comprehension? Or do you just stick to online reviews without reading the book?

>>612678
Recommended books for what area?

How to make friends and influence people

Not even kidding

What about the economics classes on Khan Academy? Those any good and/or of practical value to someone interested in putting their money someplace worthwhile?

How about some financial blogs?

Isn't it a tad bit old? Do you think it's still relevant nowadays?

Hello /biz/,

I have a G.E.D. and attended a shitty public school with no math teachers.

I can bitch about it, yet it is about time for me to learn to do some math. Crying about it won't make me money.

I need math to make money. All the careers I'm remotely interested in require lots of math.

What books do you recommend?

I have trouble starting with fractions.

>>615904
>I have trouble starting with fractions.
Any math textbook for Gr 5 - 6 curriculum is a start then. Google "Basic Algebra". Its gonna be a long journey but better than being an imbecile for the rest of your life.

Looks spammy, but this book will send you into a spiral of entrepreneurship. They have an active forum too which is nice.
