![]() The parts where Graham explains things is clear and easily understandable for someone with as little knowledge as me to understand. You’ll still get something out of itĭespite not understanding half of the book, the other half seemed excellent. If you have neither of these things then it’s easy to get lost in the details that Graham goes into. In order to get the most out of the book, you’re either going to have to read it with a search engine to hand (I recommend Investopedia), or already have a good understanding of how the financial sector (with a focus on the stock market) operates. I knew very little about these concepts when I first opened the book and found the beginning nigh impenetrable. If you know nothing about those things then you’re in for a rough ride. This book is packed full of wall street jargon and goes into explicit detail about stock prices, bond prices, “convertibles” etc. Warren Buffett has said on numerous occasions that this is the best book on investing and whilst I’m in no position to disagree, I’m also in no position to agree with him either. ![]() ![]() So this week I read The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. ![]() + Nate Chai answers the question should you read Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor?Īs part of this journey, I’m not limiting myself to property investment. ![]()

Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were brought out of Tibet on the backs of mules in the early 1930s by the dauntless Indian savant Rahula Sankrityayana and were handed over by him to the Bihar Research Society, Patna, in 1936. ![]() The Tibetan materials in the office of the Bihar Research Society have long been one of the poorest known and least utilized of any of the major Tibetan literary holdings in the world. 94–98.(6) Herbert Guenther, Journal of the American Oriental Society, vol. ![]() (5) Manfred Taube, Orientalische Literaturzeitung, vol.

![]() ![]() Once I find out the tentative re-release dates of Contagious and Deathly Contagious as well as the official release of Contagious Chaos, I will share that information with everyone. Every time I am asked about the 3 book's release date, it lets me know that you guys love this series and cannot wait for the next book :) However, now that the books are in the hands of a publisher, I do not have control over the release dates as I did before. I am blown away and so incredibly grateful for the following that this series has. I've still been getting a lot of questions about the series, particularly about when the 3rd book is coming out. ![]() **UPDATE** If you haven't heard the exciting news, The Contagium Series has been picked up by a publisher!
