Suggested Readings

·The Intelligent Investor (Benjamin Graham – 1949)

 

Summary - The essential classic from the man considered to be "the father of value investing."

 

Book Description
The classic bestseller by Benjamin Graham, perhaps the greatest investment advisor of the 20th century, The Intelligent Investor has taught and inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham's book has remained the most respected guide to investing, due to his timeless philosophy of "value investing," which helps protect investors against the areas of possible substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies with which they will be comfortable down the road.

 

 

·Security Analysis (Graham and Dodd – 1934)

 

Summary - Yet another Graham classic, this work outlines both the art and "science" of understanding the fundamentals of government and corporate securities and using this knowledge to make better investment decisions.

 

Book Description

This classic book secured Benjamin Graham's status as a Wall Street immortal. The carefully honed methods for finding undervalued stocks and bonds he described here have never been equaled, and have already outlived their author by more than 20 years. Even as Security Analysis has gone through five editions and nearly a million copes, you can learn time-tested investment secrets and strategies by going back to the source - THE ORIGINAL - and paying close attention to its wisdom. Written just five years after the crash, Security Analysis's message today is just as vivid, just as lucid, and just as vital as it was in 1934.

 

 

·Technical Analysis of Stock Trends (Edwards and Magee - 1948)

 

Summary - A timeless study of technical analysis--the use of patterns that arise in the price and volume action of stocks--to help give buy and sell signals on individual stocks and the market as a whole.  Much of our own work is based on such pattern analysis.

 

Book Description

Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, is a critical reference for investors--especially in today's tumultuous markets. This seminal book--the first to produce a methodology for interpreting and profiting from the predictable behavior of investors and markets--revolutionized technical investment approaches and continues to show traders and investors how to make money regardless of what the market is doing.

 

 

·One Up on Wall Street (Peter Lynch – 198?)

 

Book Description

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. 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 turns an average stock portfolio into a star performer.

 

 

·Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (Edwin Lefevre – 1923)

 

Book Description
Profiled in Worth Magazine as one of the four investment classics of all time, this fictionalized biography is among the most compelling books ever written on trading in the markets. Penned in 1923, the text remains timeless because it captures a trader's mind so accurately—the recollections of mistakes, lessons learned and insights gained. Packed with observational gems about the markets and trading.

 

 

·Every Investor’s Guide to High-Tech Stocks & Mutual Funds (Michael Murphy – 1997)

 

Summary - A guide to investing in the high risk, high growth tech sectors, from one of the nation's best investment advisors for technology.

 

Book Description
Whether you’re investing in Blue Chip stocks or convertible bonds, this groundbreaking book provides essential information on how to build a technology portfolio, how to calculate the downside risk of any investment, and how to apply Murphy’s unique, proven Growth-Flow model to maximize your returns.  With detailed company profiles, stock performance records, and contact information for twenty-six of the best technology mutual funds, as well as forecasts for the next five years, Every Investor’s Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds arms individual investors with everything they need to cash in on the current technology boom and beat the Dow in the stock market’s hottest sector.
