Valuable lessons for any investor

I listened to this from a recommendation on a blog and as I invest into a SIPP thought it would be a worth while investment of my time and money. Firmly aimed at new investors I found some really useful insights.
I'm sure if I remember to listen to this again and again it will ensure I don't make the regular mistakes of most investors and will maximise my returns over the long term.
I would recommend this to anyone thinking of investing of those not making the returns they want.

Start here - ideal for beginners

I knew absolutely nothing about the stock market and investing when I started this book - I can safely say this book is the ideal beginners guide - it helped me to get my head around terms like “mutual fund” “market multiple” etc and feel more confident . Would highly recommend

Introduction to starting investor

Learn to Earn is a good short introduction to someone wanting to start investing in stocks...and a good repeat to someone who’s done it longer. Pay attention to fundamentals.

It’s a compact audiobook that reminds us about keeping basic things in mind. A few examples help the readers understand better what to keep in mind when choosing the companies. It won’t make you an overnight success but it will put you on a good learning path if you are willing to make notes.

Why Lynch

Why did Lynch take break? Wish his family understand I know this because I've read Beating The Sreet.

All the basics of the stock market. Short and clear, you don't need any other investment book to be perfectly honest.

Basics, well explained!

This is an excellent start at looking at the basics of investing in the stock-market. Using simple analogies Peter Lynch shows why investing in stocks in the long run is an excellent way to become financially free.

The terms that are used in the financial market and financial publications such as bear markets, bull markets, P/E ratios etc are extremely well explained. Lynch also gives example of what happens in a general sense when there is a readjustment in the market or when a company gets bad news and stock prices fall. By using real examples to show how long term investments can accumulate and pay dividends to the investor if chosen well and held over the long term.

The basic theory of this book is a simple and similar in theory to many books written on Warren Buffett in fact many of the example written about in this book are stocks that Buffet has made a lot of money on. The theory is to buy when others are selling for the simple reason that excellent companies will always survive down turns in the economy and great companies still make large profits during times of uncertainty... even in the recession people drink Coke. If you are investing for the long term this certainly the way forward because as a individual trying to predict the hot stocks there is just too much risk.

The book however doesn't go into the picking of stocks in much detail, it is merely a starting point to look from. If you are looking for a book with more insight into what to look for in a stock price or a P/E ratio then I think that the next stage after this book would be "The New Buffettology" by Mary Buffett. This book goes into the aspects brought up by Peter Lynch in deeper context. With these two books under your belt I would suggest "The intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett's first mentor.

In conclusion I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing.

A great foundation

This book is perfect for a person new to investing and wanting to cover all the basics (and more) for a strong foundation on which to build. The narrator's voice is easy to listen to and the information is practical and full of examples. All the fancy stock market jargon is explained for even the most novice of listeners to understand.
