Classics: An Investor's Anthology
and
Classics II: Another Investor's
Anthology, by Charles Ellis. Charlie Ellis edited these two books
in 1989 and 1991. They are out of print now, so you may need to visit a
used book dealer or your local library in order to find them. Your
search would be well worth the effort, however, because these two books
provide a treasure trove of short articles written by the best investors
and financial authors of all time--luminaries such as Paul Cabot,
Benjamin Graham, David Dodd, T. Rowe Price, John Burr Williams, David Babson, Peter Bernstein, Phil Fisher, Harry Markowitz, Warren Buffett,
William Sharpe, David Dreman, John Templeton, and many others. There is
more wisdom contained in these two books than most investors are apt to
encounter in a lifetime of personal investing experience, and if there
is a better collection of important investment writings, I haven't found
it. As they say on television infomercials, it would take a long time
and cost a small fortune to duplicate this collection of the most
memorable writings from many of the finest minds in investing. If you
can't find these books, consider Ellis' similar, more abbreviated book,
The Investor's Anthology (reviewed below). |
