Common
Sense on Mutual Funds: Fully Updated 10th
Anniversary Edition by John C. Bogle, Founder of Vanguard Low Cost Mutual Fund Family ==> I use Bogle's index fund strategy to construct the "core portfolios" recommended in my newsletter. Bogle has
written a terrific book that makes its points over
and over. His statistics are irrefutable that high
cost, front-end load funds can never, as a group,
match mutual funds that use his proven strategies.
Bogle shows you how simplicity and common sense
invariably trump costly complexity, and how a
low cost, broadly diversified portfolio is
virtually assured of outperforming the vast
majority of Wall Street professionals over the
long-term. |

Contrarian
Investment Strategies: The Psychological Edge Beat the Market by Going Against the Crowd by David N. Dreman: / Hardcover / Published 1998 / 464 pages Kirk's
Review: One of my favorite investment
books! The Crash of 2007 revealed in dramatic
fashion that there are glaring flaws in the theory
that underlies all of the prevailing investment
strategies—efficient market theory. This theory, and
all of the most popular investing strategies, fail
to account for major, systematic errors in human
judgment that the powerful new research in
psychology David Dreman introduces has revealed,
such as emotional over-reactions and a host of
mental shortcuts in judgment that lead to wild over
and under-valuations of stocks, bonds, and
commodities and to bubbles and crashes. It also
leads to horribly flawed assessments of risk. |
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham; Forward by John C. Bogle, Founder of The Vanguard Group Graham's Intelligent Investor sets about educating the average person as to what makes an investment, what makes a speculation and how this knowledge can be applied to build wealth in the most risk-averse way possible.

Technical
Analysis of Stock Trends, Eleventh Edition By Robert Edwards, John Magee / Hardcover DanG's Review: This is the first and best book I ever read on charting way back in 1966. It was based on the original work of Richard W. Schabacker, who wrote "Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits" back in the 30's. They both deal with trend lines and with detailed chart patterns (head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, broadening tops, etc.) which may or may not interest you. First recommended by "DanG" on March15,1999 at my Suite101.com "Investing for the Long Term" group. Kirk's note: Edwards and Magee is considered one of the bibles of technical analysis. I use it often to help me pick buy and sell targets for stock in my "explore portfolio. |

Beating
the Business Cycle: How to Predict and Profit From
Turning Points in the Economy BEATING THE BUSINESS CYCLE is the first book to reveal how decision makers at all levels–managers, small business owners, and individuals–can see into the economy’s future when making key decisions. Should a large company search out new clients and build new factories or stores, or should it consider cost cutting and layoffs? Is it the right time for you to splurge on that luxury vacation or addition to your house, or would it be more prudent to cut back on big expenditures and save money for a rainy day? Written in an easy-to-understand, accessible style, BEATING THE BUSINESS CYCLE reveals which of the hundreds of economic indicators to trust and which ones to trash. It will give you the tools and confidence you need to make the right decisions at the right times–even when the rest of the investing and business world would persuade you otherwise. |
