1 1) Benjamin Graham: securities analysis.
If all the books in the whole field of securities research are burned, the industry will be rebuilt only by such a book.
The author did not establish any precise academic model, but just cut into the gap between academic and practice. He neither bowed to impetuous reality nor to arrogant scholars. Through numerous complicated examples, Big Ben built his theory on a very concrete basis. Although he is famous as a well-known stock investor, most of my securities analysis is about bonds and preferred stocks, and their value is not inferior to that of stocks. The art of choosing good bonds can be transformed into the art of choosing good stocks to some extent, and the relationship between them is far closer than people think.

What is commendable is that geist pays special attention to the field of investment banking and regards the history of Wall Street as a process of development. Esther focused on Wall Street, but he didn't ignore Europe and Japan. Unfortunately, the main regulatory policy discussed in this book is American policy. These policies may not explain the profound changes in investment banking in other countries.

14) George Soros: financial alchemy.
Most of Soros's remarks are full of arrogance, but considering his great achievements, such arrogance is understandable. In financial alchemy, he tried to establish the so-called "reflexivity" principle of financial market, that is, the complex interaction between investors and investment objects, and used this principle to explain the whole social science. In order to prove his theory, Soros claimed that he had conducted a "diachronic experiment" with his own hedge fund, including an experimental period and a control period. This diachronic experiment took place in the most glorious period of Quantum Fund-1986 to 1987.
Benjamin Graham: Rediscovering Benjamin Graham.
The book Value Rediscovery contains the most valuable articles and speeches published by Big Ben in his later years, which involve not only financial statement analysis and investment principles, but also monetary banking and macroeconomics. Most of the articles published by Big Ben are full of pessimism, so he is unpopular on Wall Street. Decades have passed, and today's readers can more calmly understand his teachings-belief in the concept of value investment, persistence in risk control, and aversion to day trading. These teachings have not yet been realized.
