 Fundamental Reading - Assistance
Hi all,
I've been a member on here for a short period of time. In the last few years I have invested in several stocks i.e AIR, PEB, DIL, AIA, ATM, SPK. I'm a 28yo professional and still have a lot to learn, both in shares and property. I've built a solid amount of capital (relative to me!) and with the way the macro environment is going, I thought it would be an opportunity to catch up on some fundamental readings.
I have learn't a lot from senior members on here e.g. Hoop, KW, Mac, even Moose (where has he gone, forgot his previous alas). My question to those with vast experience, what fundamental books do you think is relevant for NZ (property and NZX, ASX). Additionally, what value did you get out of it and has it assisted with your own practical application.
I haven't considered the US stocks, purely because there isn't any point until I feel comfortable with local markets (obviously keep watch of what is going on worldwide).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Fiasco

I've actually been learning a lot from reading research papers lately.
In the stock market there's a lot of opinions so it's great to get some real facts.
The social science network has quite a large free database: http://www.ssrn.com/en/
With studies on just about anything you can think of, such as technical analysis / impact of insider buying/ fundamental strategies/ liquidity/ sectors/ market capitalization etc etc
Not a recommendation or advice.

Great advice Wolf. This article for example shows how buying less volatile stocks can also increase returns: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...act_id=2055431 - Low Risk Stocks Outperform within All Observable Markets of the World

I have just ordered the above artifacts by William J O'Neil. I'll have a look at SSM in the interim Wolf, much appreciated.

SSRN is a handy website indeed - thanks.
With due respect to KW I don't think a book on how to short stocks is the right one for a person starting out in the world of investments!
The most popular books (fundamental analysis) are Intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham and one up on the Wall Street by Peter Lynch.

Also, if you can handle it, I went and read the last 30 or so years of Berkshire Hathaway's annual reports. It's pretty tough reading, but I learnt quite a lot.
Also Youtube videos of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger doing university speeches are worth watching.
