How's everyone today? So I want to really understand finance, investing, and business. What books or information would you recommend? I can't understand what you guys are talking about, past a basic level. I use the app "robinhood", and rented a book on boosting financial IQ and another on basics of world economics.
I feel so uneducated (because I am lol) and want to educate myself. Also any simple-to-read basics to dip my toes in so I don't get discouraged?
Thanks, /biz/.
My advice to you is don't get too caught up in the nuances of finance when it comes to the stock market/trading. Literally none of it matters. The concepts themselves are primitive and easy to understand - it's just the industry standard language for it sounds confusing. Most people in finance aren't doing anything extraordinary. People always have this weird attraction to finance because it's seen as cool and some form of upper echelon enlightenment but it's not.

Idk, man... My father works in accounting and has given me some advice that I wouldn't have known if he didn't tell me (in relation to banking, how to avoid certain fees, how to negotiate fees) and I have no idea how cd's, bonds, etc work and can't explain how the economy works in plain english.

Thanks, anon. Saving to the list.
I'd also like to learn how to sell to business. Selling fine art, for example. No confidence in the process...
