10 Off-the-Beaten-Path Resources for Winning Investing

Everyone wants to be a “winner.” And we all define “winning” in different ways. But our team likes to keep things simple. Winning investing is about more than “percentage gains” or “dividend yields” or “total return.” It’s about feeling secure. Enjoying your life. Taking care of the people who matter to you. Fulfilling that “bucket list.” It’s about achieving your goals and (being sincere, not maudlin) achieving the dreams every one of us has. To win, you have to learn … About yourself. About “The Crowd” — and how predictable human emotion moves individual stocks … and markets as a whole. You do this – winning and succeeding – by learning. Learning about yourself. Learning about the crucial role human emotion plays with stocks … other financial assets … and the markets as a whole. And learning about the winning moves to make and the losing pitfalls to avoid. For books and videos, when you Google “best investing books” or best “investing movies,” there’s a list of usual suspects that come up, like the Intelligent Investor for books and The Big Short for movies. Those are both excellent (they’re team favorites) and deserve a read and a watch, respectively. But we also curated a “resource guide”… a roster of books and movies that aren’t as well known or aren’t as widely associated with becoming a better investor (but should be). But we’re not just handing you a “10 Things” list … and expecting you to take it from there. We’re also giving you the critical context for each - so you’ll see how each of these resources can help you become one of those rare “winning investors” … and making those dreams come true.
