It is impossible to actually get the idea of how and where to invest unless you test some waters on your own and get the hang of the market you are going to invest in. Still, it is essential to have some basic understanding about investing right. If you are lucky enough to have a mentor of your own, you might well be able to bet on a secure platform to invest, but if not, you can still gain assistance from the gurus who have served quite a lot of time in understanding dynamics of different markets and guiding others.

 

Business Insider has selected a few books to help you get better understanding of investing correctly. We are going to briefly cover some of those books for you.

 

The Intelligent Investor

Written by Benjamin Graham, this book presents principles of investing safely and tells you about “Value Investing”.

 

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits

Authored by Philip Fisher about more than 50 years ago, the investment philosophies present in this book are still valued and practised.

 

Irrational Exuberance

In this book, Robert Shiller analysed stock market decline and predicted the market crash. The editions of this book released later predicted the housing market crash as well.

 

Once Up On Wall Street

Pete Lynch believes that an ordinary investor can become an expert at investing rightly if they do a little bit of market research. He has also evaluated many recent trends and has analysed the technology sector in detail in this book.

 

There are many such books and guides that can help you make a right decision when it comes to investing your money. However, a generally recommended mantra for someone who is entering the market is to start small, learn the trade and its tricks and then place their major bet.
