There are 7 ways to beat the market.

Each has a legend behind it. Each legend has one book that explains everything.

Find your style. Read the book. Build your edge.

🧵 A thread 📌 Style #1: Value Investing

Buy great businesses at unfair prices. Ignore the noise. Wait. Win.

Practitioners: Buffett, Munger, Klarman, Graham

◆ The Intelligent Investor — Benjamin Graham

Why this book: Written in 1949. Still the Bible of value investing. Graham invented the concept of margin of safety, the idea that you don't need to be right, you just need to not be wrong by too much.

Buffett calls it "the best book about investing ever written."

If you believe price and value are different things — this style is yours.

The greatest investors in history didn't just manage money.

They obsessively read books that others ignored.

Joel Greenblatt turned $7 million into $830 million in 10 years.

50% Gross annualized returns. For a decade.

Then he did something unusual for a hedge fund legend.

He became a Columbia professor — and handed his entire reading list to his students.

Here it is 🧵 Greenblatt's favourite books are The Intelligent Investor, Common Stocks & Uncommon Profits, Security Analysis, and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.

Start with The Intelligent Investor — Benjamin Graham.

Warren Buffett called it "by far the best book on investing ever written" and said chapters 8 and 20 have been the bedrock of his investing activities for over 60 years.

Greenblatt made it required reading. So did Buffett, Ackman, Burry, and Klarman.

One book. Every great investor. No exceptions.

Bill Ackman went on a fishing trip in the Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

His guide was so impressive that Ackman offered him a job at Pershing Square — one of the world's most powerful hedge funds.

The only condition: read 12 books before your first day.

Here are those 12 books. And why Ackman swears by them. 🧵 The first book on Ackman's list and the first one Warren Buffett ever read at age 19 — The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

Buffett called it the best book on investing ever written.

Ackman made it mandatory reading before stepping foot inside Pershing Square.

If it's good enough for both of them, it's good enough for you.

Jeff Bezos once said:

"You can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and in the 5th year, become the biggest thing on the planet. The power of not giving up is real"

Here are 10 things I learned from him: "A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well."
