I’m completely new to investing but I’m really interested in becoming skilled at it. Do you recommend any really good books for beginners, that personally helped you a lot?
What would you say is a good approach to learning about investing? (ie. which books should I read first, and then which ones. etc.)
Thanks (and please only give advice based on personal experience.)
