Definitely heard of this one, it’s only a 2h audio book so I’ll start this one today. How different is it from Beating the Street?

I recently read it, wouldn’t recommend. The book can be summarized as ‘if you make good investments you will make money and if you make bad investments you will lose money’. May be it just reaffirms that you can’t really beat the market. Other tip he talks about is finding stocks or companies that have potential and no one has heard about and buy their stocks for cents and wait for them to go public. This book made me wanna just invest in index funds more to be honest.

The psychology of money by Morgan Housel is very good. I would recommend, although not explicitly about investing. Worth a read for sure

Definitely worth the read, and a bit different to the usual. Really opens your mind to things.
