Some argue that an investor's greatest asset is time…
But you probably already know that this is not entirely true. Yes, compound interest works wonders, but an even greater asset for an investor is Knowledge. Where to put your savings and how to make more profit?
Personally, I am not a big investor. Warren Buffet is further away from me than Neptune. But I can do the dirty work so you don't have to.
Compiled by 41+ best books about investing.
How was this list drawn up?
First of all... I was booing. I'm not such an expert on financial books that I know ALL the really useful books on the subject. I looked for recommendations on Lithuanian investor forums, pages, portals, blogs... I went to Facebook groups and... I asked for recommendations.
I had in the end 400+ books the list. I then checked it out on Goodreads and Amazon review platforms - do these books have good reviews? Are they really good?
These are the best books on finance, money and investing left.
