The Intelligent Investor

This is also known as the Bible of the stock market. A must read book written by the legendary Benjamin Graham, a.k.a. the mentor of the greatest investor of all time- Warren buffet.
The book explains about the fundamentals of the stock market for value investors. There are three main concepts covered in this book.
First, the investing approach for a defensive investor and enterprising (aggressive) investor. The other two concepts introduced by Graham in this book are- Mr. Market and Margin of Safety for easy explanation of the market behaviour and risk management.
I will highly recommend you to read this evergreen classic book on stock market. There are many concepts that you can learn by reading this book. I have already read this book 2 times.
A little advise. This is the oldest book in my list of ’10 Must Read Books For Stock Market Investors’, compared to the publication of other books. As this book was written way back, you might feel like reading the 1930’s story. Further, it might be a little tough to maintain the momentum in the starting as few chapters are irrelevent to Indian stock market (you can ignore those chapters). However, do read this book till the end as the knowledge gained after completing the book will be worth it.

Common Stocks and uncommon profits

A Must read. One of my favourite book on growth stock investment. This book was published at almost the same time as ‘The Intelligent Investor’ by Ben Graham
▪ The book explains the investment philosophy of how Philip Fisher finds growth stocks that lead to massive gains if held forever.
▪ Important chapter is the book- What to buy, where to buy & When to sell.
▪ Philip Fisher also explains about the 15 points to look for in a common stock.
▪ A great read for growth stock investors.
I won’t go into too much detail as to spoil the book but this is a great read for any investor. This brilliant book finds forth rank in our list of the 10 must read books for stock market investors.

That’s all. I hope that this post is useful to the readers. If you think I missed any important book, or recommend any additional book in the list, feel free to comment below.
