Book threads should be a regular on this board. I just got through reading the richest man in Babylon (i recommend it to anyone looking to grow wealth). Can anyone recommend me some more money management books. Maybe some business books as well

>> No.668572

Why even read books? It's common sense, stop spending so much money. Use savings for investments. There, I just saved you some time.

The only good books on there are the Boglehead books and it's kind of companion book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street (advocates index funds instead of market timing and security selection).

Trading in the Zone is the best book on trading psychology which is irrelevant for 99% of this board.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is an absolute classic but none of it is particularly relevant for your average /biz/nessman.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is good if you're a social retard but most people would have figured out everything Carnegie says on his own.

Just focus on the Bogleheads stuff and you'll know everything that's relevant for the real world and not abstract information which isn't helpful.

Currently reading Predator's Ball, about Milken and Drexel

When I was a kid I thought about maxing out a credit card A and using credit card B to pay it off, then going back and forth with A and B, keeping that as a 'closed circuit' and moving on to C and D. This is basically what Milken did

I have a few more books to read before I get into more text-book grade material

I read a few of those. TGR is the most famous I think. Obviously after Buffet's "The Intelligent Investor," which doesn't seem to be on the list. To me, all these books are much like self-help books, Kyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," comes to mind.

They are designed for complete idiots and cover the very basics of something. None of them will help you get rich though. They aren't necessarily wrong, but they are "Don't spend all your money on blow and hookers!" equivalents.

Buffet didn't write "The Intelligent Investor", Graham did. It's in the top left also.

I recently read Zero to One by Peter Thiel. It's from his Stanford class notes on startups. He helped found paypal so he knows a thing or two about founding startups.

Most of the book is gold, but one section resonated with me pretty hard. He talks about indefinite verses definite optimism. Indefinite optimists think the future will be bright, but don't know what it will look like nor do they have any plans. People who major in something that "leaves their options open", etc. I think I've lived my entire life as an indefinite optimist, and I never even realized it until he talked about it. I think there's some stuff about this on youtube, it's worth checking out.

What makes you think anyone who worked their ass of to discover the tactics to becoming wealthy would simply hand it off to a stranger through a book. Do you really belive people are this altruistic? Did you have a delayed birth by chance?

You are not going learn anything from these books that can't simply be found with just and hour of Google searching. Even when you do, the publicly avalible knowkedge is not going to yield much of a benefit in this rapidly evolving competition business world.

Listen you fetal alcohol syndrome baby people who are wise and have money understand that the more people who have money the better it is for them in getting money from them(i literally cannot dumb this down anymore). The fact that you get your information from google rather than a book is laughable in it's own right. The third thing is if you want to throw your head through a brick wall one thousand time before you get it right then by all means go ahead (based on your statement i would expect you to), but I rather do it the way people with an iq much higher than 5 do it.

This is largely true. Note, I said "largely" not completely.

Most proprietary knowledge is locked away from public view because revealing it would reduce it's ability to make money. But there is good information out there, you just have to hoard through a lot of shit to get there.

I've burned my way through:
The Intelligent Investor (good read)
Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (good read, but do not read in your first one or two books. Save til the last)
Learn to Earn (good read)
The Richest Man in Babylon (22 pages long anyway, but a good read)
Rich Dad, Poor Dad (I'd be weary of this)
How to Win Friends and Influence People (good read, but very obvious unless you are socially unaware)
All about Asset Allocation (good read)

I'm now 200 odd pages into >>673419 Accounting Principles, but it's a 1317 page book. I might start Peter Lynch's One Up On Wall Street or Beating the Street concurrently.

>>676324
It's in >>669274, in pdf.

>>677233
From what I've been reading, read
The Richest Man in Babylon. It's not technical but shows you the importance of saving.
Learn to Earn
The Intelligent Investor
All About Asset Allocation

From there either dip into How to Win Friends and Influence People as a side, return to further investing books (Peter Lynch's books) or straight into accounting. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is largely a fad.
