The Intelligent Investor
Benjamin Graham’s classic book, The Intelligent Investor, is available online. You can’t read it (safely) in the bath, and it doesn’t include Jason Zweig’s excellent notes (included in the latest edition). But it’s free!
Taking a break
Don’t go away if you don’t hear from me next week, I’m taking a week off! Meanwhile, I though I’d leave you with something to read. First, just in case you missed them, the most read stories on the Interactive Investor blog in the last couple of months:
The Great Crash of 2009
The boom must go [...]
Will Bolton spill the beans?
If you think Tony Blair’s retirement is a protracted affair, think again. Compared to Anthony Bolton, Britain’s most celebrated fund manager, he rushed into it. In June 2006 Fidelity announced Mr Bolton was to hand over half of his fund to Jorma Korhonen the following January. Earlier this week it announced he is to hand [...]
The Interpretation of Financial Statements
Todd Sullivan of ValuePlays recommends, “The Interpretation of Financial Statements“ by Benjamin Graham.

I like “The Intelligent Investor”, also [...]
National debt is something to be proud of…

It’s an economic history book written in 1966, but carried within it is a message that can inspire a winnable bet in today’s stock market, according to Ken Fisher. That message is mercantilism, encouraging exports and restricting imports, is [...]
From Wall Street to The Great Wall
One for the reading list: Publisher Wiley has sent me From Wall Street to the Great Wall for review. It’s mercifully short for a book of this kind, and it promises ‘Hands on strategies for safely investing in China now through ETFs mutual funds, options and more.‘ I’ll read it; bearing in mind booming economies [...]
Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management
Another for the reading list. One of Ken Fisher’s favourite investment textbooks, by one of his favourite academics: Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management, by Frank K. Reilly.
The Origin Of Wealth
One for the reading list. Martin Wolf’s book of 2006: The Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity and the Radical Remaking of Economics (Reviewed on London Book Review.com).
