So You Made Some Money On GameStop And Want To Learn More About The Stock Market?

Here Are 7 Investment Books Worth Reading

With stocks in the news, there's been a lot of talk about where to learn investing.

Many suggestions are terrible with comments promoting Forex scammers, overpriced courses, or dull academic books like "The Intelligent Investor."
Luckily, there are also plenty of fun and interesting books on finance. Many of which are written by legendary investors who consistently beat the market.

And, there are plenty of fantastic biographies, covering historical market events and old school traders.
Below are SEVEN titles worth reading.

The first book is my personal favorite, but none of the others are in any particular order.

DISCLAIMER: I'm Using Amazon Referral Links Below, But It Doesn't Influence The List. Also, You Can Get All These At Your Local Library.
1. ONE UP ON ALL STREET BY PETER LYNCH

Peter Lynch is the greatest investor of all-time, outperforming Warren Buffett.

This is a fantastic, easy-to-read look at how to successfully buy winning stocks and multiple your money.
One Up On Wall Street covers virtually every aspect of investing, and is often a favorite book among professional investors.

If you only read one book on stocks, make it this one.

2. THE RICHEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED BY GREG STEINMETZ

Jakob Fugger is often considered one of the very first capitalists ever. he helped fund expeditions to Asia and the America's, played power games with European royalty, and built a personal empire.
One interesting thing about this book is HOW LITTLE HAS CHANGED when it comes to money and investments.

In 16th Centenary Frankfurt, homeowners made more money by renting their houses during a week-long trade fair than they earned from working all-year at their regular jobs.
The Richest Man Who Ever Lived is a fun, and informative read if you like politics, history, and finance.

While Jakob Fugger lived long before the modern stock market, you can still learn a lot from him.

3. UNKNOWN MARKET WIZARDS BY JACK D. SCHWAGER or MONEY MASTER THE GAME BY TONY ROBBINS

I'm actually using this spot for two books which are somewhat similar, though aimed at different audiences.

Unknown Market Wizards is a collection of interviews with successful traders.
You'll learn about options, stock picking and market analysis.

Many of the interviews are fascinating too, there's a trader who made $1 million during his first year of investing, all through his personal brokerage account and all by reading forums and message boards.
However, Unknown Market Wizards is a bit more complex than the other book listed here, Tony Robbin's Money: Master The Game.

Money: Master The Game interviews professional investors and traders (many of whom you've probably heard of, like Ray Dalio).
What's great about this book is the fact that it breaks difficult concepts down by using anecdotes and examples, making it very easy for you to understand concepts like the "Asymmetrical Bet."
Both books are worth reading, and each is filled with interesting insights from some of the world's greatest investors.

4. DARK GENIUS OF WALL STREET BY EDWARD J. RENEHAN JR.

Media pundits cry about GameStop and crazy markets. But 2021 is nothing like the old days.

Long before GameStop, there was the Erie Railroad. This was a major battleground where investors made (and lost) fortunes.
Jay Gould was an 1800's financial speculator made his bones trapping and tricking opponents in some of the greatest stock market plays of all-time.

He cornered the gold market, tried kidnapping rival Gordon-Gordon, and took control of Western Union in their heyday.
If you want to see a true market master, read Dark Genius Of Wall Street.

5. INVESTMENT BIKER BY JIM ROGERS

A lot of rich people are boring. That's not the case with Jim Rogers.

From From 1970 to 1980, Rogers grew his Quantum Fund portfolio 4200%.

Then he retired and went on a worldwide motorcycle tour.
Investment Biker is all about Rogers' trip. It's an incredible travel story filled with danger and excitement, but you also get to see how a shrewd financial mind calculates decisions.
You'll learn about history, geography, real estate, mining, stocks, agriculture, and how all these things affect economies and markets.

6. EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE RICH BY DAVID FARBER

This is not a book about dueling with traders or how to buy assets.

Instead, it is an inspiring biography about John Raskob, stocks, corporations, and America's transformation into an industrial powerhouse.
"At the beginning of 1900, John Raskob had been a provincial twenty-year-old with a dead-end job in small-town upstate New York. A dozen years later, he had a leading role in one of the nation's fastest growing industrial corporations [DuPont]."
Raskob used his wits to leave his hometown, catch the growing trend of mass industrialization, and become an important (though somewhat obscure) figure in American history.
This is a fantastic book that showcases the power of investing, deal making, and recognizing opportunities you can take advantage of.

7. THE SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL BY JAMES DALE DAVIDSON AND WILLIAM REES-MOGG

This book is WILD. The Sovereign Individual was written over 20 years ago and yet much of its content is only now coming to light.
The book discusses ideas like decentralization, digital currencies, how establishments will break down due to technology equalizing individual citizens, and how the the digital world will alter structure of society.
While the author's didn't get all their predictions right, they nailed enough of them to make this book well worth a read; especially if you are curious about where the future is heading.
