What are the absolute best books on trading, investing and understanding how various financial markets work so that a person can profit off of them? I'm asking here since /biz/ is retarded and most intelligent anons from other boards come here anyway.

Benjamin Graham, Peter Thiel, Warren Buffet, a complete classical education, and an autistic as fuck desire to analyze data and to be dick deep in the field of machine learning.

Outside of that, you need to study human behavior, as well as global politics.

I've already taken business school courses, they're for midwits going nowhere but a shitty office job. Anyone who actually becomes seriously financially successful from business school does so via connections, not trading. Besides, most courses focus on management aspects or issues related to running a business and not on trading. I'm hoping to learn some stuff that will teach me to make sensible trades so that somewhere down the line I can retire a bit early.

Business school is for retards... do a Math major, take decent social sciences electives when you get the chance (Political Science, Economics). Then just read a bit about all the basic finance shit... I swear 4th year finance majors learn basic Statistical Analysis/ Hypothesis testing

Start by studying human behavior, I suggest the greeks such as Plato and Aristotle

I'm actually considering going back to school for math once I feel I have a solid grasp of things from self teaching. Thanks for the suggestions though my man.

Study everything but only use your own judgement.
