Coming from a business-oriented household, investing and being an intelligent investor has always been extremely exciting to me. To do this, I read from some of my favorite investing books, listed above. I owe it to Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet, and Ben Graham for their innovative investing strategies.
Additionally, I am the Co-president of Stocks Club with 40+ members, where I help others learn about investing techniques and run investing seminars. In the Wharton Youth Investment Competition, our group peaked at 7/1,374 teams. Our club’s officers continue to help others in their investing endeavors, and we hope to learn something new from it ourselves!
