The most common mistake many people make when learning to invest is: From the beginning, we looked at the market situation, As soon as I came up, I asked what to buy, Study which ticket can go up from the beginning. But if you really want to go on in the long run, the order should be reversed. Learn to manage money first, Learn to look at enterprises again, Finally, it's about following the market. I think the book list in this picture can be divided into three layers. The first layer is the starting point of assets. Little Dog Money, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Neighbor Millionaire, Money Psychology, The Richest Man in Babylon, The Road to Financial Freedom These books are not meant to teach you how to become rich overnight, but to first clarify the most basic things: Savings, cash flow, balance sheet, long-term accounts, one tenth of income, target list. Many people lose money investing not because they don't know how to read financial reports, but because they have no financial order from the beginning. Spend as much as you earn, A drop leads to a shortage of cash, As soon as it rises, it rushes in. In this state, even if the market gives opportunities, it is difficult to truly seize them. The second layer is the value chassis. Smart Investor, Securities Analysis, Buffett's Letter to Shareholders, Poor Charlie's Handbook, The Most Important Thing in Investing, Safety Margin These books address another issue: What is a good price? What is a good company? What is risk? What is an ability circle? Investment is not about buying when you see a decline, nor is it about chasing after when you see an increase. What really matters is whether you know what you're buying, how much it's worth, and what the worst-case scenario might be. The safety margin is not a slogan. It saves itself a life when you make a mistake in judgment. The third layer is market peers. Strolling on Wall Street, Common Sense of Mutual Funds, Peter Lynch's Successful Investment, Overcoming Wall Street, Irrational Prosperity, Thinking Fast and Slow This layer is more like putting investments back into the real world. You will find that: The market is mostly irrational. It is difficult for active funds to outperform in the long term. Low fees and index funds are important. The emotional cycle will recur. Good companies around us may also be a source of investment inspiration. At the end of the reading, you will understand one thing: Investment is not about who gets the news faster than others, It's not braver than anyone else. It's more like a long-term system. First, there are tools available, And with mindset, Another way, Finally, it will be gradually realized through practice and compound interest. The most feared thing for ordinary people who want to achieve financial freedom through investment is not having a low starting point, but constantly using short-term speculation to deal with a long-term oriented situation. Books won't directly make you money. But it can help you make fewer big mistakes. In investment, making fewer big mistakes is itself a great return.
