Some Great Reading Material

There are multiple ways of learning finance and being on top of the new happenings in the financial world. I prefer the option of reading --- either hard copy books or in my google reader.

I am listing a few of my favourite reading sites and manuals and the reason why.


1. Outlook money Magazine
This is one magazine ( 30/- an edition) which has very good basics of finance as its articles. It has theoretical answers as well as practical ones. The magazine comes out once a fortnight and is a great read.

2. Moneytoday
Another similiar magazine like outlook -- but has a continuing series by a stock manager on what to buy and someone who also analyses the reasons. Great to get an understanding of the stock market

3. Rich Dad Poor Dad Series
My ALL time favourite- Read the books and you will understand the reason why. Do Not miss this-- whereever you may be.

4. Moneycontrol.com
The first and the only great Indian website . It has great portfolio services and you can buy MFs online itself from here. This is the web based version of CNBC TV18. There are other websites like NDTVprofit.com etc... but no comparison to this.

5. Thesimpledollar.com
this is an online content blog from the US. useful. Has great points on saving money. However sometimes is too frugal for my taste. But great to read most of the times.

6. Equitymaster.com
A daily email on the status of the stockmarket and has good insights to the Indian and international stock market.The emails are free of cost. Go ahead and subscribe.

7. www.fool.com
Great learning website- Mostly US based information - but helpful even here in India.

8.Simplefinancialsense.com
this blog of course ;)


As they say -- the only way to earn is first to be financially literate. And its not difficult -- as i try to explain-- finance is common sense-- we just need to use it.

Happy reading!
