Your Library:

[Create]

I have seen a lot of Rich Dad Poor Dad fans on here lately and would like to know what other books you have read or have in your library.

Please post only books you have read. And don't diss an author if you haven't read their stuff.

three of my favorite books are:

Increasing Your Personal Capacity by Eddie Windsor

The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley

Power Points for Success by Bob Harrison

I haven't read that yet, but he co-authored "The Millionaire Next Door" and I love that book.

"The Success Principles" By Jack Canfield

Great read!!

[radreality]

I haven't read that yet, but he co-authored "The Millionaire Next Door" and I love that book.

yeah The Millionaire Next Door is his more popular book, but I liked The Millionaire Mind better actually. I learned more from it.

How about you post yours?

The whole point of this thread was to post what you have read so that others can learn from it.

Nice attitude there.

[akula]

yeah well...if you were in my place, you'd have the same crappy attitude

no matter how much time goes by, things just don't change, and you guys consistently read garbage

it's like you can't differentiate between what is a bad text and a good text

none of these texts you read are on any university course recommended readings lists...this means the books are bad

likewise, none of these books have any industry recognition, because they are not research driven, quant-focused, and nor do they follow any standards for technical training...this means the books are bad

e.g. if you apply for a job in finance and tell the interviewer that you've read a "finance book" like Multiple Streams of Income, or some other rubbish, you're gonna see the visual manifestation of my shitty attitude in the interviewer, smirking right back at you

and yet again, none of these books you read are written by academic researchers, who have no profit motive and simply write the truth - as it's tested by evidence. what you are reading is written by hacks, who are telling you what you wanna hear, and omitting everything which is not accessible to a 13 year old level intelligence ('caus then, who'd buy the books?!).

read proper books on money management. start with kiplinger or the portable mba series

Create,

I suggest [for your dignity] to delete this thread ASAP, before the intellectual jerks come in here.

Hurry up!

Like I said I did not list my whole library, but you have forced me to go and take pictures of it.

I did not list any books I read in college, or throughout my college career. I am 25, with 2 degrees from The University of Kentucky. CS and PS.

So, I didn't post any of my technical, finance, or Political books. From the Threads I have read here at YE the boosk I originally posted were books that I thought you all might have had. And yes I have read them. That doesn't mean i haven't read anything else..

Why can't we post pictures on here?

well, sure, of course I'm kidding about deleting threads - i'm not the thread nazi or anything, but the point stands

this is not an issue of intellectuals. I hate yuppies

this is an issue of people consciously selecting your selves a good library.

a good library is one where the books are:

- written by impartial researchers
- comply with technical standards set by financial authorities
- adopted by universities for their finance programs

and anyway, do I care? if you guys wanna shortchange your selves, and consistently choose to read garbage, so much better for you

[Create]

I don't consistently read garbage, please let me know why I can't embed pics into the threads ? I guess this is against the rules here?

I went around with my digital camera and took pics of my books. However, mind you I am into politics, mathematics and Sun Solaris. I have used my skills to make myself money in my lifetime and am in no means an investor genius (yet, although I want to learn more).

[akula]

That doesn't mean i haven't read anything else..

son, I'm not flaming you. you seem like a great guy. you don't need to explain to me what you've read and what you haven't.

the point is, none of the books listed in this thread so far meet any kind of industry standards for quality

even if some sap reads all those books, 10 times over; a kid with a 3 year degree in finance from a backwater community college is gonna be infinitely better trained in money management, than the poor sap (who, btw is gonna be calling him self the "Financial Expert with Advanced Degree in Cashflow Quadrant...or what ever they call them selves)
