Ask HN: Getting started with personal investing
Hi HN, I'd love to get your thoughts and ideas on books / resources to start investing as an individual.
The idea is that, as a 28 year old, I'm now able to put some money aside and I'm interested in investing it — but lack a strategy or the foundation to build one.
Any book recommendations, blogs, podcasts, or other would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! I rather liked Stein & DeMuth's Yes, You Can Get a Financial Life: https://www.amazon.com/Yes-You-Can-Financial-Life-ebook/dp/1... Thanks so much for the recommendation, will check it out! Same age - using Wealthfront for long-term investing; called it a day there and remain focused on revenue streams. Nice, how have you been liking Wealthfront? I do have an account with Betterment (I think they're both practically the same). >but lack a strategy Diversification is the most important strategy. Thanks for the input. How would you go about diversifying? E.g. Hold savings in different currencies? Mix of stocks, bonds, REITs? Let me know what you think. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.
