A quick search on Amazon.com for the term “Value Investing” turned up 4,344 books. At the top of the list, the usual suspects appear:
- Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond- Bruce Greenwald
- The Little Book Of Value Investing-Christopher Browne
- The Intelligent Investor- Benjamin Graham
Lost in the pile are some great books that often get overshadowed by the “well known”. Below is a list of unknowns that should be considered on every value investor’s library.
- The Rediscovered Benjamin Graham: Selected Writings of the Wall Street Legend- One of many value investing books by Janet Lowe,this gem provides plenty of unknown material by the dean of value investing. As every Benjamin Graham book out there, there is plenty of valuable information to digest.
- Poor Charlie’s Almanack Expanded Second Edition. The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger- By the man who said he didn’t set out in life to become the assistant leader of a cult, “Poor Charlie’s” allows the world to see how one of the greatest financial minds of our day views the world. Upon reading this masterpiece, one will truly acknowledge the wit and wisdom of Charles T. Munger
- Psychology and the Stock Market: Investment Strategy Beyond Random Walk by David Dreman- One of the earliest books on behavior finance, David Dreman gives the reader a great primer on bubbles and low P/E investing. If you are looking for a book on fear and greed, look no further.
- The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing: Morningstar’s Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market by Pat Dorsey. Christopher Davis of Davis Advisors summed up the book as, “His (Pat Dorsey) methodology is sound, his examples clear, and his approach timeless.” I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in value investing. The book provides a great introduction into modern day security analysis, valuation, industry analysis, moats, etc..
- One Up One Wall Street by Peter Lynch- Nobody defines “buy what you know” than Peter Lynch. While running the Magallen Fund, Peter Lynch outperformed the market by purchasing stocks in simple businesses. I consider this among the easiest investing reads and is also included in our Value Investing Guide
