Peter Cundill's book recommendations
From
There's Always Something to Do:
There are a few books – really not that many – which I believe are indispensable reading for every serious investor in whatever facet of investment practice they may favor:
- Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay (only the first two chapters – the title is worth the price of admission!)
- The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave Le Bon
- Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein
- The Money Masters by John Train
- The Intelligent Investor: A Book of Practical Counsel by Benjamin Graham
- The Templeton Touch by William Proctor
- The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros
