Good Books on Investing

Start off with investment philosophy books, i.e. Automatic Millionaire, Millionaire Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad

Once you know how to think like an investor, move into a niche, real estate, securities, forex, etc. You have to have the mindset down before you start investing if you want to be successful.

Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Money and Investing

Please for the sake of your financial future read "The New Coffee House Investor" and "The Bogleheads Guide to Inevesting". Both extremely easy reads and provide such a simple personal financial formula that I wish I had been educated with when I was 25. Your investing activities don't have to be as cluttered as you might think with the race to 'beat the market', just simple, disciplined investing approach in primarily index funds will provide you with a retirement nestegg larger than you think. I also think "Millionaire Next Door" is a great book.

Rich Dad Poor Dad and Millionaire Next Door

These are the best to start with because you will need a foundation to understand philosophy. Knowing the difference between a stock and a bond is useless if you can't discern what your objectives are.

Investing for Dummies is awesome as well. Any of the "Dummies" books written by Eric Tyson are outstanding in my opinion.
