Posted: 11/Sep/2006 at 10:01pm |
Lets start a topic about "what to read" to keep updated on investments, business, companies.
I read ET, Business India, India Today.
Surf the net to visit sites like moneycontrol, bloomberg, theequitydesk. I do company research on myiris.com, religare.in
The books I like are "Intelligent Investor", "One up on wall street", "The warren buffet way".
Would like to hear from all of you.
Thanks

Just finished reading "STOCKS TO RICHES" by Parag Parikh (Tata McGrawHill, Rs195, p112)
It is a must read not only to understand Market Dynamics, but also to get insights into BEHAVIOURAL FINANCE. This is a science being studied as independant subject in the West.
I strongly recommend this book...

May I request forum members to post about:
what they like reading, which sites they visit regularly, which brokerage reports they find useful (for fundamental analysis), etc etc
It will help others as well.

Kulman.. I found the Parag's book very bad. It would be good only for starters but not for advanced level. It was just too basic for me.
Madness of the crowd (Mckay) was originally written in 1857. You can understand the value now. Both the books recommended by me are connected with Human behaviour in the markets and one can learn a great deal from those books.

Hmmm.... I'm still at basic level 
Anyhow, I found it simple and easy to understand for beginners.

Another set of must reads for any one is the set of "Market Wizards" by Jack Schawager. There are three books in the series and all of them are bibles of the Markets.
