Hi Guys, I've read the following four books and I think that they will be pretty useful to you all as well. These books give you a macro view on economics and how it affects the world and investing along with some detail knowledge on how to value companies and invest with a bit of applied logic. 1. Guide to the 50 economic indicators that really matter by Simon Constable and Robert E Wright 2. 50 Ideas you really need to know, Economics by Edmund Conway 3. Rule #1, the simple strategy for successful investing in only 15 mins a week, Phil Town 4. Creating a portfolio like Warren Buffet by Jeeva Ramaswamy. Book 1 gives you a guide as to how to interpret indicators. Although its applicable to the American system, the ideas are generic. Book 4 is good for the novice investor as it gives you a 20 point checklist as to how to evaluate a company. Happy reading and good luck.
