netnet Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 In no particular order: Poor Charlie's Almanack every year Buffett's letters--Partnership and BRK Cialdini, Persuasion 5 Elements of Effective Thinking Bevelin, Seeking Wisdom Peter Drucker's big three--Innovation, Managing for Results, and the Effective Executive I try to see a live Shakespeare play at least once per year, but read it beforehand.
saleen998 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 The greatest investment book ever written (and as everyone insists on pointing out, the one with the worst title): Greenblatt's You can be a Stock Market Genius. Peter Lynch's books are also exceptionally good.

Not to be that kind of person, who quotes himself ;) ....but I generally reread Poor Charlie's Almanack before the annual BRK meeting but, gulp didn't this year. Ok it's time to throw everything off the night stand and get cracking.

Saluki Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 The greatest investment book ever written (and as everyone insists on pointing out, the one with the worst title): Greenblatt's You can be a Stock Market Genius. Peter Lynch's books are also exceptionally good. I re-read these every couple of years. I also periodically reread Margin of Safety by Klarman, Poor Charlie's Almanack and (has nothing to do with investing) Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
Guest longinvestor Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Where are the customers' yachts? The timelessness truths of the follies of market participants makes me want to re-read this again. I recommend this to everyone in my circles as a way to start getting educated in managing their own wealth. Reading Schwed is necessary to avoid the same mistakes made over the past 100 years. The humor certainly helps! Wish every author could write like that!
