As I transition into retirement, I'm ridding myself of "stuff." I am hoping this set of books will be of value to someone. Open to any member. I'll use the karmanator to determine the winner. I'll close at the appropriate time. The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need by Andrew Tobias. Granted this one covers the 1986 Tax Revision but I'm including it for sentimental reasons and to promote it. There's an updated version avialable online. What I like about it is that it walks through the basics like "a penny saved is a penny earned" all the way to investing in the stock market and what to do with a million dollars. A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Milkiel A more in-depth treatise on investing with time-tested principles. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay. This book as been often mentioned in various threads here talking about the bubbles that have occurred throughout history, different bubbles but similar patterns to help you identify the next bubble. This book is worth the whole karma by itself.  "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | ||

Took me three times to pick a winner. First it picked wishfull thinker who wasn't in for the karma. Then it picked me. Third round karmanator choice is OKC Gene. Please respond to my email. Thanks all. And I found a fourth favorite to throw in: "The Only Other Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" also by Andrew Tobias. Thank you all for participating. Look for another karma soon.
