The Greatest Investment Books Ever

Written by The Dividend Guy on March 16, 2006

I am trying to compile a list of the greatest investment books ever written. I am doing this for a couple of reasons:

1. I love to read investing books
2. I think there are a lot of hidden gems out there that I have yet to uncover and want to see them.

Once I have developed a good list I will post them here for you all to see and hopefully read. So, if you have a great investment book you would like to recommend, please use the comment section to let me know.

    I’m sure you have included Graham’s “The Intelligent Investor” but I’d recommend the updated Jason Zweig edition of the book. I also echo Mark Cuban’s recommendation for Alex Berenson’s “The Number”.

    A few of my current favorite authors are:

    Jeremy Siegel
    Jeff Opdyke
    Ben Stein

    Anything by them is practical and interesting.

    I’d second the Intelligent Investor. Although I find Jason Zweig’s commentary more annoying every day. Random Walk Down Wall Street is good from what I’ve read of it so far.

    I have to say my favorite book on investing is A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. After working in the investment industry for several years, I have learned it is very difficult to beat the markets over the long run.

    reminiscent of a stock market operator….a classic by Edwin Lefevre. You will enjoy it.

    I would add “The Investment Zoo” by Stephen Jarislowsky. Great book.

    My own suggestions are heavily “value” biased. So, they might not appeal to everyone.

    My picks for the best investment books would be:

    1. Security Analysis - Graham

    2. The Intelligent Investor - Graham (I prefer the Zweig free edition)

    3. Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits - Fisher

    4. The Little Book That Beats the Market - Greenblatt

    5. Contrarian Investment Strategies - Dreman

    6. One Up on Wall Street - Lynch

    7. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius - Greenblatt

    8. Beating the Street - Lynch

    Not so much an investing book, but a very insightful look at those who have been successful investors - The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley

    I’d like to recommend Lowell Miller’s “The Single Best Investment” as being a clear, concise, non-bombastic guide to picking quality stocks without hoopla and creating income through dividend payout. It’s easy for the layman to understand but he doesn’t condescend or speakdown to those people like me who have money to invest but barely any experience doing it. Great, informative read!
