This is not the first time someone has asked me about investment. Below is a simple book list, most of which I have read, and the rest I have heard about.

It must be admitted that investment is a very complex matter. Besides mathematics, psychology, and sociology, there are many black swans and grey rhinos. The numerous factors affecting market fluctuations cannot be grasped by a few pieces of news or a few individuals. Always remember that 'Mr. Market is a mentally fragile lunatic.'

However, the trend of our country's financial reform is unstoppable. Seeing you all asking me these questions makes me very pleased, because the next 10 years will undoubtedly be the decade of finance. I encourage you all to give it a try. But remember, always use spare money for investment, and keep 3000 yuan for delivering takeout—this is no joke.

Having entered the market in April 2024, I have witnessed countless people getting margin calls and countless broken families in just these two years. As Lynch said, investment has a gambling nature and is a zero-sum game; if you win, someone else must lose.

If you know nothing and just want to steadily participate in the dividends of the era's development, then index funds are definitely a good choice. If you want to develop your own investment ability and ride the waves to charge ahead, then I hope my book list will be helpful to you.
