Which one interests you more: entrepreneurship or investment? Because once you nail the basics of accounting there really isn't much overlap with them.

Yeah but no one ever like explains why a book is useful, it's always "4 hour work week changed my life" yeah... uh huh... why? How? Sell me on it.

It's ironic on a board called "biz" where 90% of the threads are shilling that no one can sell me on why I should read their suggested books.

I am not an entrepreneur but I am a succesful investor, so here are my picks for beginning books on investing and the stock market:

"The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias. It's fun, it's old, but it is still on the money, so to speak. Excellent 1st book.


"The Money Game" by Adam Smith
"One Up on Wall Street" and "Beating the Street" by Peter Lynch
"Stocks for the Long Run" Jeremy Siegel
"Irrational Exuberance" Robert Shiller
"Common Sense on Mutual Funds" John Bogle
"Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits" by Philip Fisher
"The Essays of Warren Buffett"
"The Black Swan" Nassim Taleb

"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham is a great book but possibly a little intimidating for your first read.

Real entrepreneurs don't read the books (unless their textbooks)

You really think bill gates or zuck or trump needed to read a book full of motivational quote?

yes, they did other practical shit too. But I gaurentee you they read motivational literature and self help books. Most successful people spew that same kind of self-belief crap, where do you think their narrative came from?

In fact many continue to read it AFTER they are successful. Like David Allen said that the kind of people who need his books most fail to apply it, the people who need his books least are the ones who got the most from it.

all modern books on business/entrepreneurship are made to sell not educate or enlighten so take any published wisdom with a large pinch of salt

nothing beats pure experience in my opinion

They don't have to, retard. It's a suggestion, take it or leave it. Do you think you're running Oprah's book club or some shit?

No pleb, I think I'm running a modern day equivalent Stanley Kubrick's office where he required three paragraph memos summarizing every novel that came through so he knew whether it was worthy buying the options or not..

/BIZ/ LIFE MOTHERFUCKINGFUCKER!!! NO TIME TO READ SHIT WITHOUT RECCOMENDATION, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

Beginning investors should stay far the fuck away from derivatives.

Intermediate investors should be cautious dipping their toes in. There are moderately risky derivative moves and insanely risky ones.
