- jason_slack 9y agoI have the Ernest Chan books. "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (10th Edition)" and a few other Economics and Finance books. Happy to share a complete list if anyone really wants it.
- Osmium 9y agoI would be interested to know if there was a 'gold standard'/'bible' of finance books for someone who knows very little, but doesn't mind a technical read.
- nef 9y agoThis isn't general finance, but 'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham is recommended a lot - some of it's uninteresting, but there are a few really useful/interesting sections!
- RobSim 9y agoIn terms of Company Valuation (for cash flowing companies, not startups), the bible in that world is "Valuation (McKinsey & Co)" https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/strategy-and-corporate-finance/our-insights/valuation-measuring-and-managing-the-value-of-companies https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/strategy-and-cor...
- manish8886 9y agoyes can you share the complete list for finance and math books?
- jason_slack 9y agoSee above.
- godelmachine 9y agoI would like to hear the complete list :)
- jason_slack 9y agoSee above.
- jason_slack 9y agoHere are the books on my desk: C++: "The C++ Programming Language", Stroustrup "Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++", Stroustrup Quant: "Quantitative Trading", Dr. Ernest Chan "Algorithmic Trading", Dr. Ernest Chan "Machine Trading: Deploying Computer Algorithms to Conquer the Markets", Dr. Ernest Chan "Advances in Financial Machine Learning", Marcos Lopez de Prado "Options, Futures and Other Derivatives (10th edition)", John C. Hull Buddhism: "Open Heart, Clear Mind", Thubten Chodron "Buddhism For Beginners", Thubten Chodron "Working with Anger", Thubten Chodron Reading For Pleasure: "Naked Statistics", Charles Wheelan "Algorithms to Live By", Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths "Dark Pools" "The Quants", Scott Patterson "The Physics Of Wall Street", James Owen Weatherall Plus some Chinese books, I wont bore with the details, unless anyone wants to know. Fun Fact, while I was in China for 8 weeks in late 2017 I bought 60 Chinese books and stuffed them in a suitcase. It cost me $4,000RMB (~$604 USD) to check all of my stuff and purchases home :-) The Math books are: "Discrete math", Susan Epp "Discrete with Ducks" various Calc books. If you want to learn math, find books that work for you. We all learn differently here. My opinion: The Chan books are just amazing. Thought provoking and motivational. I am still reading the Prado book. My opinion 2: If you ever want to slow down in life and learn what you are about, read about Buddhism. I'm not trying to start a flame war. It just works for me. It isn't being told what to believe because that is the way it is. I feel Buddhism lets me explore myself to find the right answers that work for me. Since studying my anger levels are in check. I am a better Husband. My wife comes first always.
