Great book for all investors - beginners to experts. I found this book really useful as it dives into ASX listed shares during recent times (Feb 2020).

Danielle shares a great perspective when researching shares to buy and covers areas such as PE ratio, dividend yield, EPS in an easy-to-understand manner.

Useful information can also be found on building your own portfolio depending on your age and appetite for risk.

Highly recommend reading this book if you are interested in learning more about investing.

I genuinely think this might be one of the best and easiest to grasp books on share investing. It explains company fundamentals, indices and is funny, relatable and well articulated. It offers practical examples, is detailed on investing thesis and is helpful to novice investors.

Highly recommend.

I found this easy to read and follow. Given this was written in 2020, it is a little out of date (particularly the references to low interest rates) but the point overall concepts still stand. I'd be inclined to read it again in a couple of years (once I've bought some CSL shares).
