Must Read Books in Trading and Finance

This blog has somehow slipped through my fingers in my "busy" world of too many things to do and too many tech gadgets in my space. I have not kept up with the writing nor the review of books I have added to my collection and have enjoyed reading them.

Between the last post and now, I have been to dozens and dozens of good book sales, mostly friends of the library sales, and stepped into many Goodwill stores only to be rewarded with good finds in the book section. Our library has grown by leaps and bounds, it must be over 1000 books by now. My reading interests are still broadly the same: finance, business, food, photography, but lately curiosity has taken hold of me and I have delved into Mathematics and Sciences...Comets, planets of sorts, mind you I am at a loss on the last two subjects and could only understand 5% of what I am reading there.

Let's start with the three books I hold dear:

Reminiscence of a Stock Operator by #Edwin Lefevre. If you trade or are an investor, this is the one book to read and read it from cover to cover. There are many gems in this book and you will not be disappointed



I thoroughly enjoy reading these books, given that I love all things finance and I trade my own account for a living. The Antifragile book is an easier read than The Black Swan. It is such a good book that we have his and hers copy :)

I shall close with one quote: "In old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody." - Oscar Wilde
