(Update 4/7: Random Walk is no longer on sale, but Intelligent Investor is still $2.99.)
Amazon has the Kindle version of two investment classics on sale for $2.99 each at the moment. These are savings of over $10 from the usual price.
- A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel, revised 11th edition.
- The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, preface by Warren Buffett.
A Random Walk Down Wall Street was the first investment book I ever read that dealt with passive investing. My short-but-sweet December 2004 review was one of the first posts on this site – nearly 14 years ago! (I had read some previous books on DRIP plans and individual stock investing.) I should probably re-read it and see if it holds up now that I have read probably 20+ more books on passive investing.
Another coincidence is that I am currently reading the Buffett biography by Roger Lowenstein, and am at the part where Buffett studied under Benjamin Graham at Columbia University.
p.s. If you are a Texas-style brisket aficionado like me, Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto is also on sale for $2.99.
Thanks! Got both books even though I just finished reading A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
*2004 review
A random walk down Wall Street is a really good book. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s a beginner. But it’s not really meant for intermediate-advanced traders and investors
Looks like sale is over as of April 5th.
Thanks for the heads up.
