Can u name some of the best investors of stock markets ?

or some good investment books

The best investor in the stock market of all time, without doubt, is Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE : BRK.A and BRK.B). You can find copies of the Berkshire Hathaway annual reports, along with Mr. Buffett's shareholder letters, on the company website at www.berkshirehathaway.com

There are many other great stock market investors, though some of my personal favorites are, in no special order, (1) Sir John Templeton, now retired, but previously the Chairman of the Templeteon mutual funds group; (2) Peter Lynch, a former portfolio manager at Fidelity Investments and who's now an executive at the company; (3) George Soros, a hedge fund manager in New York; (4) Eddie Lampert, a hedge fund manager and private investor; and (5) Benjamin Graham, Mr. Buffett's Finance professor at Columbia University during the 1950's when Mr. Buffett was in graduate school there, and the author of several seminal books of surpassing importance to investors, including "Security Analysis" first published in 1934 and "The Intelligent Investor" first published (if I remember correctly) in the late 1940's.

If you're looking for something to read about investing and are a novice investor, the books by Ben Graham (especially "Security Analysis") may be somewhat advanced and dry. I'd start with "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, which is very readable, and if you like that you might want to take a look at "The Intelligent Investor" by Graham, but make sure you thumb through the contents at someplace like a Barnes & Noble before buying it since many experienced investors who I know find Graham's writing style to be dry and somewhat academic.

Also important is knowing what to avoid. Make sure you don't even bother with stuff written by folks like Jim Cramer, since Cramer is completely clueless about the investment process and will actually hurt your chances of doing well in the market over time.

Hope this helps.

Listen to Harvard Homeboy. I agree with absolutely everything he said, especially about Graham & Dodd's "Security Analysis", and Graham's "The Intellegent Investor". Both are MUST READ - MUST UNDERSTAND if you are going to invest in individual stocks.

Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch are the guru's of our lifetime. Their "matter of fact" and common sense approach about investing are a joy for learning about.

Hat's off, Mr. Homeboy!
