1. Wealthy Barber - on second reading 20 years later, it contains everything a person needs for financial
planning
2. Wealthy Barber Returns - updates things that proved wrong in first book, and general musings on
money financial planning.
Both David Chilton - A brilliant, common sense guy as well as being quite funny. A broker who turned his back on the financial industry.
3. Little book of common sense Investing - why indexing is superior - John Bogle
4. Money sense guide to the perfect portfolio - teaches how to implement the above.
5. Millionaire teacher. Interesting. Reinforces above.
Really, all a person needs to know. And very quick easy reads.
I see the following mentioned a lot, so will read eventually for curiosity:
Four Pillars of Investing
Common Sense on Mutual Funds
A Randomn Walk Down Wall Street
Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment
All heavier reading, I think.
I have Benjamin Grahams Intelligent Investor, and Jeremy Siegals Stocks for the Long Run, but I never
bothered reading as I turned to indexing
Note: Kiosaki Is a scam artist. Maybe good for inspiration, however his coauthor is suing him. Michelle Berube mentions a real estate author in the states who is the best, apparently. Name escapes me, unfortunately. He has a scam list, Kiosaki is on it, and possibly has the most scathing review I've ever read. Read up to about five books in his series. Repetitive, simplified, and inappropriate for investing. Maybe get rich quick, if you are lucky. Also a pyramid scheme.
Interestingly the poor dad is a teacher. I found it amusing that David Chiltons dad was a teacher and So is the millionaire teacher!
