Welcome back Franco fan! Please share your thoughts and leave some comments!

One of my favorite author/portfolio manager, Vitaliy Katsenelson, just wrote an article called Investing Books for the Stockings. In it he gives a list of his favorite investment books, a brief description of each book, and a case for why you should read it. Some of the books I’ve already read (and recommend on the Favorites tab) while others I have yet to read. I know I’ll be adding a couple of his suggestions to my reading list.

Enjoy!
