Books on Investing and Stock Market - Part 2

The field of stock investing is very wide. A lot of books have been written on the subject. In the Part 1 of the series, I had discussed about books which covered subjects right from the basics of investing. 

In this post, I will try to go little deeper into the subject and will try my best to recommend books for investors or stock market enthusiasts who have learnt the basics of investing.

• Coffee Can Investing by Saurabh Mukherjea, Rakshit Ranjan and Pranab Uniyal. Coffee Can Investing refers to a 'buy and forget' approach to investing in companies which have delivered consistently great results. Mukherjea and his co-authors' delves deeper into this concept and have come out with this well written book solidly backed by data.
• Beating the Street by Peter Lynch. Lynch was a famous fund manager at Fidelity Investments. He liked to visit companies before investing in them. He believed that anyone who has time to do stock research can generate good returns.
• Big Mistakes: The best Investors and Their Worst Investments by Michael Batnick. 
• All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There by Peter Bevelin. This book is about a fictitious seeker and his visit to a 'Library of Wisdom' where he meets another fictitious character - 'The librarian' along with Warren Buffett and Charles Munger. It's a must read for all Buffett and Munger fans.
• What works on Wall Street: A Guide to the Best-Performing Investment Strategies of All time by James O'Shaughnessy.
• Value Investing and Behavioral Finance by Parag Parikh. 

 So, these are the books which I could think of. I will add few more books once I get to know about them and read it. 

There are a lot of blogs, websites and even podcasts which are also imparting useful lessons in investing. May be some other day, I will touch upon them also.

And remember these three concepts always- good businesses, right valuations and long term focus. 

Happy Investing!
