I always buy books that are non-fiction. Fact imo is more stimulating than fiction. My last book purchase was over five years ago and it was called "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.
Truth be told (for many including myself) that book is a tedious and difficult read, because it is something that would appeal vastly more to accountants and investment fund managers.
I lost interest in that book sadly, but if someone has mountains of patience, or is an accountant etc, it could lead to that someone becoming very rich, to maybe become the next ($107.8 billion) Warren Buffet? It's his bible and money making strategy apparently. That's why I bought it.
Sorry off subject i.e. if someone wants to invest? Warren Buffet advises that those without background, experience, knowledge or lack patience to research? Is to do so long term in a Vanguard index fund.
QUOTE from 2018:
"Warren Buffett: $10,000 invested in an U.S.A (S+P 500) index fund when I bought my first stock in 1942 would be worth $51 million today"
Now that fact is well and truly stimulating non-fiction imo. Of course there is always a risk and what goes up can go down especially in the short-term. Oh and be wary of overseas currency rates of Dollar to Pound etc along with tax if investing in an overseas index fund. [Post edited 5 Apr 2023 15:03]
