Required Reading

The members of our club have spent quite a bit of time in the past two months reading to increase our rather limited knowledge of investing. Here are some books and magazines we have read and feel are valuable to the learning process:

Books
The New Buffettology by Mary Buffett and David Clark - great book to get an understanding of how Buffett picks his stocks. This book includes specific examples and equations which are more helpful than the fluff in many investment books out there.

The Little Book of Value Investing by Christopher H. Browne - I wasn't expecting much but this was recommended on Amazon. Man, was I in for a pleasant surprise. This book is excellent! Browne goes into great detail with his investing philosophy (citing Graham and Buffett many times over) but keeping it simple enough for a newcomer to understand. Highly recommended!

Magazines
Inc. and Fast Company - both magazines talk about the inner workings for small to medium size businesses. Great for learning about trends and new industries.

Arriving Soon:
Harvard Business Review
Financial Times
Conde Nast Portfolio
