Memoirs of a stock master

Douban score: 8.9

Memoirs of a Warren is the most accurate, vivid and enlightening Chinese translation of an excellent classic in the world investment field. Mr. Ding Shengyuan, a big shot in the field of financial translation in China, spent a year on a brand-new revision. A passionate time in the history of financial speculation, a brilliant and exciting genius, an eternal classic that permeates the hearts of investors.

No one can tell whether other people exist for a purpose, but he must have come to this world for speculation. Outstanding talent made him less than 20 years old, that is, he was regarded as "the god of plague" by the cunning securities gambling community. It has been brutally knocked down by the market many times, and every time it can stand up again with a stronger attitude like phoenix nirvana. He's Jesse? Livermore, an immortal legend who earned nearly 1 billion dollars by shorting.

He committed suicide at the age of 63, not because his great wealth went up in smoke. Money is just a bargaining chip for him. As long as he is the king of speculation, he will never be afraid of not finding the lost crown. Because he lost his sense of opportunity, he had no reason to live. When the flying paper tape was no longer wrapped into a cocoon to protect him, he chose to end his life with a gun.

A half-way investment banker

Douban score: 8.0

The past 10 years have witnessed the boom of investment banking and the rise and fall of economy. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, these famous names make countless smart and ambitious young people yearn for and admire. How do investment bankers, a mysterious, wealthy and powerful social elite, manipulate large-scale mergers and acquisitions worth tens of billions of dollars, affecting major business decisions of business giants and consortia?

Jonathan Lenny, the author of "The Investment Banker Who Becomes Half-way: 10 Inside Wall Street Changes", is an investment banker who became a half-way monk. By chance, he entered the famous Goldman Sachs Bank on Wall Street and then moved to Morgan Stanley.

security analysis

Douban score: 9.3

If all the books in the whole field of securities research are burned, the industry will be rebuilt only by such a book.

The author did not establish any precise academic model, but just cut into the gap between academic and practice. He neither bowed to impetuous reality nor to arrogant scholars. Through numerous complicated examples, Big Ben built his theory on a very concrete basis.

Although he is famous as a well-known stock investor, most of my securities analysis is about bonds and preferred stocks, and their value is not inferior to that of stocks. The art of choosing good bonds can be transformed into the art of choosing good stocks to some extent, and the relationship between them is far closer than people think.

Financial alchemy

Douban score: 8.7

Most of Soros's remarks are full of arrogance, but considering his great achievements, such arrogance is understandable. In financial alchemy, he tried to establish the so-called "reflexivity" principle of financial market, that is, the complex interaction between investors and investment objects, and used this principle to explain the whole social science.

In order to prove his theory, Soros claimed that he had conducted a "diachronic experiment" with his own hedge fund, including an experimental period and a control period. This diachronic experiment took place in the most glorious period of Quantum Fund-1986 to 1987.

Smart investors

Douban score: 9. 1

The book Smart Investor contains the most valuable articles and speeches published by Big Ben in his later years, involving not only financial statement analysis and investment principles, but also monetary banking and macroeconomics. Most of the articles published by Big Ben are full of pessimism, so he is unpopular on Wall Street.

Decades have passed, and today's readers can more calmly understand his teachings-belief in the concept of value investment, persistence in risk control, and aversion to day trading. These teachings have not yet been realized.

Buffett's letter to shareholders

Douban score: 8.4

Buffett has never written any professional works. His only work is an annual letter to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. Every year, he repeats some seemingly outdated remarks, such as the importance of cash, the importance of company management, the importance of buying assets at discounted prices and the importance of "paying the right price for growth".

Buffett's greatness can only be seen from one detail-in the catalogue, "corporate governance" ranks first, followed by "corporate finance". Buffett is often regarded as an expert in finance and taxation, but his talent in identifying company managers is unparalleled. In fact, everything he said can be summed up into a truth that we are familiar with, but the way of expression is very simple and simple.
