How about "The Four Filters of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger"? Can you share your thoughts and impressions of that book?
Hi Anon,
I haven't read it yet, but when I do I'll be sure to share some thoughts!
Value Investing by Bruce Greenwald is an excellent reading for Value Investors.
Thank you for nice books reviews.
Can you update your list (http://www.barelkarsan.com/2008/06/book-summaries.html) with recently reviewed books please?
Are you going to review books complimentary to vaslue investing, e.g. contrarian approach?
Hi Anon,
I've added the Greenblatt book which had its last post today. I think that's the only one missing, but let me know if you know different.
Not all the books are related to value investing, as I will also discuss other books that I find interesting.
Any good suggestions on the topic of Financial Statement Analysis (FSA)?
I think it is propably the most important technical aspect of every value investing philosophy.
I heard of the CFA book on FSA or to some extent:Detecting Financial Shenanigans. Any suggestions?
Hi Alexandre,
An important topic for sure. I don't recall any specific articles or books on the subject, but I think every accounting textbook would touch on the subject.
Hey Saj,
You should definitely read greenblatt other book, you can be a stock market genius. It was written in the late 90's but is still extremely relevant. It details special situations that occur all the time that create value opportunities.
also, you should check out my blog freenpv.com We seem to like some of the same companies (My CEU writeup is pretty similar to yours).
Enjoy your blog. Thanks! I'm a value investor trying to become more informed. What texts have you found most useful in informing your choices as an investor? Anything from the canon at the Ben Graham Center for Value Investing that you recommend?
Thanks, Anon.
I think "Security Analysis" was the most useful book for grasping the finer theoretical points. Greenwald's "From Graham to Buffett and Beyond" was great for application.
Two other insightful books that are value related: "Poor Charlies Almanack" and "Applied Value Investing".
