My first read was Stock Market, a beginners guide ā¦ by Ardi Aaziznia of Bear Bull traders. I enjoyed its broad coverage and a candid inside view. He did endorse a few suggestions as the work of Peter Lynch( Beating the Street) and a couple of others. His colleagues How to Day Trade(Aziz) is also interesting so far esp for a neophyte. Any suggestions for good reads on investing as further reading?
So many to name. But, top of my list is Peter Lynchās One Up on Wall Street. The second book is a good one too - Beating the Street.
I like Joel Greenblattās books and then the Little Book Series. - The Little Book of Value Investing

At the risk of shameless self-promotion, you could consider my new book, Halal Wealth. Itās available on Amazon. It is meant for novice investors, though.

What topics does your book cover

Salaam and thanks. The book covers why to invest, how the stock market works, and how to get started in investing. I also discuss mutual funds and ETFs, and the various choices available. Then it gets into other investment choices not directly tied to the stock market, such as real estate, venture capital, precious metals, and sukuk. Finally, it discusses retirement planning.

I started with Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. I think this is a foundational book on creating the right mental models when it comes to investing.
So it can be said that that this book can be used to further your understanding/knowledge.

I began with āThe intelligent investorā written by Benjamin Graham . Warren Buffett ā The Best Book On Investing And What It Can Teach You. When legendary investor Warren Buffett was asked what the best money advice he ever received, he replied referencing āby far the best book on investing ever written,ā The Intelligent Investor , written in 1949 by Benjamin Graham.
Despite it was written many time ago it always updates.

The simple path to wealth by J Collins. Just substitute halal etf or mutual funds for VTSAX, and sukuk for bonds.

Intelligent Investor is the holy grail for investing but I really like āNudgeā by Richard Thaler. Itās a book on behavioural finance and understanding the rationale behind our actions but with really interesting examples.

While I wouldnāt consider it a traditional investing book, another name Iād throw into the mix in addition to some of the other great suggestions here would be Seeking Wisdom: From Darwin to Munger by Peter Bevelin. Itās a fascinating read about behavior and decision making and itās applicable directly in the context of work, investing, and life. One of my personal favorites.
