Best Books for 2021

December 24, 2020

Happy holidays I hope you and your friends and family are well!

Something I always wanted to do was give more so I figured I’d start by sweetening someone’s Christmas a little this year. If you are subscribed to this email and following me on twitter, you were entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card.

So let’s get to it! The winner of this giveaway was aquino.john34. I have already sent you an email so send me a message back to confirm and I’ll get your gift card to you!

Anyways, I’m keeping this email short as I don’t want to take up your Christmas eve.

2020 was rough, but here is a few books I’m looking to brighten up 2021. Three are investing related while the other two branch off into different genre’s.

P.S.

After two years on twitter I finally hit my first 1,000 like tweet and blew past the 5,000 follower mark. Just wanted to say thank you for the support!

“Value stocks are about as exciting as watching grass grow, but have you ever noticed just how much your grass grows in a week?” – Christopher Browne

If you want to read more into any of these books or pick them up now click the underlined title and it will take you to Amazon! Yes they are affiliate links, I promise to reinvest the 10 cent commission.

Amazon: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Probably one of the most promoted books I’ve seen on Twitter which is exactly why it will be my first read in the new year. In it Chris Mayer goes into depth on his approach to finding stocks that will turn a $10,000 investment into $1 million.

One of the main quotes I’ve read from a few summaries is “buy right and hold on.” If you’re anything like me the hold part is the hardest. I’m hoping this book helps me get better at that.

Amazon: 4.7 out of 5 stars.

One of Twitter’s favorite authors is Morgan Housel. If you aren’t following him you should as his tweets are quite intriguing.

His book “The Psychology of Money” gives the reader insights on the lessons of building wealth. With money though comes different levels of greed and happiness that Housel also addresses. Calvary Media acquired “The Psychology of Money” this year which means we have to have an Always Invested meet up when the film drops.

Amazon: 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Getting away from the flashy growth stocks Bill Schultheis simplifies investing and describes his approach for diversifying and reducing risk. On top of his strategy in the market, Schultheis also touches on the importance of saving money so that you can contribute the maximum amount to boost returns.

This one is not as mainstream as the former but since it was recommended by a friend of mine it’s on the list.

Also it has coffee in the title so I have to read it…

Amazon: 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Nothing about the markets for this one. There is just something about negotiating that gets me. Maybe it’s the fact that we do it everyday in life, and that being good at it allows me to fish more…

For that reason, and many more, I think it is extremely beneficial to be able to negotiate respectfully at a high level. Whether in the corporate world, or with family, being able to communicate with others is a good skill and lands “Never Split The Difference” a spot on my read list.

*Not Investing or Business*

This one is for those like me who enjoy a good fiction or historical book every now and then. “Son of Morning Star” is about Custer’s Last Stand which is one of the most historic battles in American history. In the fight 262 soldiers lost their life in less than 24 hours.

If you want to get away from the financial reads this one might be a good to check out. Looking for a fiction read? Check out “Lonesome Dove” as it was my favorite fiction book of 2020.

This week’s sponsor is Santa Clause….just kidding. We are our own sponsor so shout us out on Twitter so I can hit ya with that re-tweet.
