Thanks for voting!Wouldn’t you love to find one, just one, good investing book to take poolside? How about 3? Whether you vacation or staycation, here are a few great reads definitely worth your time. And they come highly recommended by our own Dan Greenshields, ShareBuilder President. (Bonus tip: save a few bucks by buying used or using your library or go online and join a book swapping site like paperbackswap.com).
The Intelligent Investor, by Ben Graham: The father of the “value investing” strategy lays out his successful long-term, disciplined approach. First published in 1949 and later updated, Graham’s recommendations are timeless. The intro’s written by his best-known follower, Warren Buffet, who calls it “the best book on investing ever written.”
Dan says: “Graham’s book gets at the fact that anyone can be a successful investor by doing their own research.”
One Up on Wall Street, by John Rothchild & Peter Lynch: Lynch is perhaps the most famous mutual fund manager, having led Fidelity’s multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund. His advice boils down to “invest in companies that you like.” Rothchild helps Lynch explain the strategy that brought such success.
Dan says: “Easily digestible for all investors. Long-term investors will enjoy Lynch’s take: succeed with sound investments and ignore volatility.”
Jubak Picks, by Jim Jubak: MSNMoney.com expert columnist Jubak explains his philosophy for profits in good times, protection in downturns and the biggest returns in the next upswing. His returns over the last decade significantly beat all major indices.
Dan says: “Jubak is smart, and anyone can follow his approach. His new book delivers his stock-picking system and 10 macro trends to watch.”

Don’t forget Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel! Been reading it and it’s great so far. Easily digestible investing advice that makes sense. Can’t wait to use ShareBuilder to put some of what I’m learning into practice!
I would say start with One Up on Wall Street it’s shorter and probably an easier read than The Intelligent Investor. I would also recommend Rich Dad Poor Dad’s Guide to Investing. I wish I had my list of good investment books in front of me.
I would recommend my favorite and an all time favorite by many investors, The Richest Man in Babylon. It is a very entertaining read with good story instead of just money matters. Also Think and Grow Rich is another good read. I few more under my list at http://moneyreallymatters.com/ under bookshelf section.
