There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding investing on the internet. Even popular ‘money saving’ websites who generally have the publics best interests at heart will advise people against investing, often overstating the risks involved as almost guaranteed and avoiding the fact that this is the best and most efficient way of putting your money to work. Put simply, if you earn a basic wage and have limited savings, investing can help you to get maximum returns from your money, and is often the only way of becoming financially stable later in life.
This is originally what pension funds were designed for.
Here are some books to help you get started with your investment education.
The little book of common sense investing – John C Bogle.
Common stocks and uncommon profits – Philip A Fisher.
The most important thing – Howard Marks
Charlie Munger; The complete investor – Tren Griffin
The Warren Buffett Portfolio – Robert Hasgtrom
These books are all able to offer basic and fundamental investing know-how to the reader, and hopefully aren’t too complex for any investor no matter their level of experience.
