3. The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Investors and Managers, 6th Edition
Through many updated editions dating to 1997, The Essays is the definitive account of Warren Buffett’s — the most successful investor-manager in history — approach to investing and management. It consists of a carefully curated and thematically organised compendium of his original annual letters, along with priceless commentaries by Lawrence A. Cunningham, the internationally renowned scholar and expert on Buffett and his company.
4. The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing
Benjamin Graham's philosophy of “value investing” — which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies — has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible since its original publication in 1949. While preserving the integrity of Graham’s original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, draws parallels between Graham’s examples and today’s financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham’s principles.
