Value investing is not just about buying stocks below their fair value with a margin of safety, it’s a lifestyle. Yes, truly it’s a full package. That’s what I see from each of these value investors’ life itself (the best book to share this bit is Richer Wiser Happier by William Green).
Some of the above books are not about the hardcore financial stats and numbers, but more about those nontangible traits of value investors that keep them at the top! It is invaluable to be patient, have the right temperament, cultivate inaction in times of greed, and go rationally all in when the right conditions line up. Hope you enjoy this little list, and be assured this will be an evolving one as I discover more awesome books being a value investor myself.
