Hidden Champions of the 21^st Century is My Favorite Book

Geoff also is a fan of  “Hidden Champions of the 21^st Century.” This is a great supplement to Competition Demystified by Greenwald.

Technically, it’s a business book – not an investing book. But business books are almost always more informative for investors than finance type books.

If I had to hand 3 books to someone who didn’t know anything about what it takes to be an investor – I’d hand him:

1. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius
2. The Intelligent Investor (1949)
3. Hidden Champions of the 21^st      Century

If you aren’t in love with the idea of the treasure hunt after reading those 3 books – I don’t think you’ll ever become a value investor.
