Over the years I have read a pretty wide selection of investment books, from
understanding the basics like How to read an annual report, to contrarian investments strategies
by David Dreman. While many of these books regurgitate the same messages
about compounding or following the trend, there are a few that I found
genuinely enlightening. Sometimes when you finish a book you can’t
help thinking about what it said for days or weeks afterwards. These all fit that category.

Whether you place your faith in the triple tops, head and shoulders formations
and Vix sentiment readings of the chartists or prefer to stick to Warren Buffet’s strategy of fundamental
analysis
these books cut through the usual rhetoric and are an enlightening read.

The biggest lesson I have learned is never to think you truly understand
the markets. Be humble to be rich. However with a few simple tactics
you can really stack the odds in your favour.

Here is my personal top ten, in no particular order. Click links for a review.
