The author of this book is the famous investor Benjamin Graham, also known for being a Warren Buffett teacher. This book is all about value investing. A whole program that Benjamin Graham taught at Columbia Business School back in the day. He was not only a professor but one of the most successful investors of all time with an average of 21% annual return over 20 years.

It is not an easy read, since it is over 600 pages long, but you will have all the information needed if you define yourself as a value investor.

Another great book, the author is Curtis Faith. He is one of the people that took part in the so-called “Turtle Experiment”. In 1983, Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt (legendary commodity traders) made this study. With that experiment, they wanted to prove that anyone can become a successful trader. Curtis Faith was one of the turtles.

In this book, he shares what was to be part of this experiment and he shares what they used as a strategy. Every trader that was part of the experiment received 1 million dollars in real money and rules to follow without a question. The turtles generated $175 million in only five years which makes them part of the best traders in the world.
