Winter is always a good time to stay in and catch up on a little finance reading.
In case you missed them, we've compiled a list of 22 classic works that every Wall Streeter should read.
These are the books that show up time and again in lists of books recommended by the pros themselves.
Topics covered include everything from the fundamentals of investing to the stories behind some of the Street's most speculative episodes in history.
"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham
"This classic text is annotated to update Graham's timeless wisdom for today's market conditions... The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham, taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949."
"Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits" by Philip Fisher
"Widely respected and admired, Philip Fisher is among the most influential investors of all time. His investment philosophies, introduced almost forty years ago, are not only studied and applied by today's financiers and investors, but are also regarded by many as gospel. This book is invaluable reading and has been since it was first published in 1958."
"The Theory of Investment Value" by John Burr Williams
"This book was first printed in 1938, having been written as a Ph.D. thesis at Harvard in 1937. Our good friend, Peter Bernstein mentioned this book several times in his excellent Capital Ideas which was published in 1992. Why the book is interesting today is that it still is important and the most authoritative work on how to value financial assets. As Peter says: "Williams combined original theoretical concepts with enlightening and entertaining commentary based on his own experiences in the rough-and-tumble world of investment." Williams' discovery was to project an estimate that offers intrinsic value and it is called the 'Dividend Discount Model' which is still used today by professional investors on the institutional side of markets."
