Seven books to read five times (no order): 1. The Intelligent Investor 2. The Manual of Ideas 3. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius 4. Deep Value 5. Poor Charlie's Almanack 6. Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond 7. The Most Important Thing

I tried hubris: it put me 24% in the red during my first month "investing." The reality is common sense isn't innate, it's learned. Buffet, Lynch, the lot of them were successful thanks to others, like Edison and his "giants." And note Voltaire: "Common sense is not so common."
