  • Mmm, finance books

    I've gone off the deep end...my goodreads shelf has 13 finance books and growing...

    I'm currently really paying attention to William Bernstein, MD. He's a former neurologist which makes me feel like he understands the physician investor, but his advice is broadly directed and well-founded so I don't worry that he's playing too much to the niche market of "rich doctors". He owns a financial advising company that only takes portfolios greater than $10 million, but even for those clients he advocates "an efficient, low-expense asset-class-based strategy" which is pretty cool. I read his most recent print book, now I'm working my way through his reading list and his new ebook, after which I may go back and read some of his earlier work.

    Anyway, just wanted to share my little SQUEE! I'm such a nerd. Oh, and I recently saw this little interview clip with him that added to my Bill Bernstein lurve. He's so well-spoken and opinionated...*swoon*

    On a related note, is anyone else geeking out on finance and want to share a favorite author? Laker, I know you've expressed a lot of interest (though I know you're busy these days...)

    I'm about done with books - I feel like I've read my fill in the last year but this guy seems to have good writing, even if its not a book. This is who one of our doctor friends uses here.

      Sweet, thanks! Excited to read those articles...I know I'm going to burn out again soon, this is just the way of it with my fickle interests, but I'm having fun for now.

      (Edited) Ooh, those articles are perfect. He touts the advantages of active management and scorns "buy and hold" strategies, which is a lovely counterpoint to everything else I've been reading...my favorite way to research.

        And digging in his site a little more - I found this page, which is more articles and less single page stuff.
