Thanks for watching guys! What are your favourite personal finance/investing books? LMK!

[@QWERTYQWERTY-oo2wm]

Millionaire next door is one of my favourite books! Great video B!

[@kenichi1132]

Hey, Brandon great video. Some of those I have not read so thank you. I just started rich dad poor dad based on your recommendation and loving it so far. Question though. Just sold my afterpay shares which I bought through my super and made $20k off of them. And I applied to have $10k drawn out of my super and will do the same next financial year. By selling them I have not lost any money I would have otherwise had I not invested. I am thinking of using this opportunity to invest in my first portfolio outside of super in an ETF portfolio consisting of VAS, VEU, and VTS based on Scott pape recommendations, for a high dividend portfolio. However, the current share price of those are very high and I wonder if I should wait or do something different. I want to invest in shares as a passive income avenue but also want bang for my buck. What do you think? What are your thoughts and what would you do with $20k that you had to invest as a first-time investor. I'm 30 years old with no house or children and renting

[@chriscook2451]

The Beginners Guide to Wealth by Noel Whittaker is a great starting point for teenagers. Covers success principles and basic money rules. Highly recommended. Great channel Brandon 👍🏻

[@leodesmedt]

The Intelligent Investor by Graham gives a great perspective of the good mindset to have as an investor in the stock market. It's a book written quite some time ago but still very relevant to today. & Rich Dad, Poor Dad was an amazing read as you mentioned it.

[@trinhle4520]

Yes, Rich Dad and Poor Dad is changing my life too!

[@rfb14]

Rule #1 was my first stock investing book and I have never found a more comprehensive guide to analyzing stocks.

[@ConnorandAlan]

I can definitely attest to Rich Dad, Poor Dad being a great starting point. Since childhood, I have struggled with reading and when I was around 16 years old I finished my first book outside of the classroom, it was Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’. This book not only opened my eyes to the Rich Dad Mindset but it also unlock my love for reading! And although I am still not a quick reader, I have learnt so much more than I thought possible about investing and personal finance from books! Thanks for the recommendations Brandon 🙏🏼

[@NewMoneyYouTube]

It's such a good book!

[@AprilLashon]

I’m reading One Up On Wall street currently…I’ve read The Richest Man in Babylon and Think & Grow Rich too.

[@sportrition]

I love Scott Pape’s eNewsletter too. Such a good communicator!

[@danmac0]

My favourite author has to be Jim Rogers. I really liked his books. They are not technical but you learn a lot from them. Street smarts is a really good read.

[@danbrixey8545]

The Barefoot Investor has really changed my life. It’s really changed my attitude towards personal finance and the road to financial freedom. This has ultimately led me to your channel, which I thoroughly enjoy

[@margarettasanjay2718]

Richest man in Babylon made me learn the importance of money growth and I started investing which was 2 years ago into Stocks, ETFs, Gold, Silver and other financial commodities. I work side by side with a great F.A Eddy Bruke which happens to be one of my most valuable decisions so far raked in over $200 +bonuses in profits for last year and have already seen a 13% rise in my portfolio starting a new year thanks to digital currencies I diversify in

[@hyattjoshua5676]

How so ma’am? I just started reading “Rich dad Poor dad” by Robert kiyosaki and learning and understanding how to come out of the rat race. Can you show how you invest or the platform

[@margarettasanjay2718]

The first step of profiting in the market is understanding it neither is a game of luck or gamble. Expertism and professionalism is a major key, appealing to work with an expert round the clock for investment.

[@ethanvaughn135]

The first personal finance book I read was The Millionaire Next Door and it really helped me understand how to properly manage my money. Rule #1 is definitely my favorite for investing though.

[@LI0022]

Nice list! I personally got started with RDPD and got into shares but went into a more passive investing direction. My personal list would be: 1. A Random Walk Down Wall Street (Burton Malkiel) 2. The Four Pillars of Investing (William J Bernstein) 3. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing (St Jack) 4. The Intelligent Investor (Benjamin Graham) 5. Thinking Fast and Slow (Daniel Kahneman)

[@brendoncoetzee8629]

Can you do a video of the breakdown of your positions and holdings on the ASX and what media streams you use to compare them. Obviously you don’t need to include what you paid or your position size if that doesn’t suit you but I’d find that awesome content. What I own and why I own it as a breakdown! Been a follower for ages.

[@agmjake]

Brendon Coetzee i would be keen to see this too!

[@InvestWithQueenie]

Great list! I’ve read 3/5 of these books and will definitely read the other two. I would also add Invested by Danielle and Phil Town which makes it easy to get started with investing 😊

[@NewMoneyYouTube]

Awesome book!

[@MRZEROTOINFINITY]

One Up on Wall Street is a such an easy read 📖 for any new investors looking to invest in the stock market 👍

Great video Brandon! Rich dad was the first book i ever read! Ive re read it probably 5 times over the years. You introduced me to Rule 1 a while ago and am very greatful mate!

[@leestringer]

Congrats on your success with this channel. No over the top nonsense, just straight forward advice. I'll be reading all these books. Thank-you.

[@peterthorburn8289]

Awesome list I could not agree more with you Brandon. If I'd have to pick just one it'd be Phil Town's Rule #1. One of the greatest teachers of modern value investing. For the past 5 years he's been making a podcast with his daughter Danielle called Invested. Highly entertaining and educational. If you haven't already, you should definitely add Invest Like a Guru by Charlie Tian and The Motley Fool Investment Guide by David & Tom Gardner on your must read list.

[@susangurungart]

My 1st personal finance book was Rich day Poor Dad and now I am halfway through my 2nd book, Invested by Phil town. Taking notes at 21 so I can be millionaire by 30. 💪 thank you lockdown for this opportunity.

A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Great read with a passive investing slant, but also tackles personal finance and portfolio management based upon age.

Amen on "intelligent investor". Ive made it 2/3 of the way through and hit the wall. Already finished "100 baggers" and "the little book of behavorial investing" in the interim and have enjoyed both much more haha. One up on wall st is my fave so far. Business adventures was interesting also

I definitely agree that Peter Lynch's "One Up on Wall Street" is a great and easy book to read. It was my 2nd book on stock market investing after The Intelligent Investor. Looking back I think I should have read One Up on Wall Street before The Intelligent Investor just because of how relatable and easy Lynch makes stock market investing seem.

[@EnterJustice]

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert T. Kiyosaki. General rich person mindset, get on the right path. 2. Barefoot Investor - Scott Pape. Australian (not the best internationally), get finances in check. 3. One up on Wall Street - Peter Lynch. Makes stock market investing understandable, "you have to know what you own". 4. The Dandho Investor - Mohnish Pabrai. Value investing, finding good investments & skewing the odds in your favor, easy to get through (unlike 'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham). 5. Rule #1 - Phil Town. "Best stock market book", gets into the nitty-gritty of a company's financial data.
