The Elements of Investing

Timeo Williams

Awesome book! As the title suggests, this shirt books details the elements of investing for the laymen in a simple, but not too simple manner. 

The elements, known as KISS investing are:
1. save regularly and start early
2. use company and gov sponsored retirement plans to supercharge your savings and minimize your taxes.
3. Diversify broadly over diff securities with low-cost "total market" index funds and diff asset types.
4. rebalance annually to the asset mix thats right fit you. 
5. Stay the course and ignore market fluctuations. focus on the long term.

Praise for THE ELEMENTS OF INVESTING "A common misperception is that successful investing requires a ton of money, a complicated portfolio, or a detailed understanding of where the markets are headed next. The truth is, sometimes the simplest approach is the toughest to beat. Charley Ellis and Burt Malkiel do a masterful job in The Elements of Investing of laying out clear, simple rules that any investor can follow to grow their wealth over time." —TIM BUCKLEY, Vanguard Chairman & CEO "These noted authors have distilled all you need to know about investing into a very small package. The best time to read this book is when you turn eighteen (or maybe thirteen) and every year thereafter." —HARRY MARKOWITZ, Nobel Laureate in Economics 1990 "Struggling to find money to save? Befuddled by the bewildering array of investment choices? As you venture into the financial markets for the first time, it's helpful to have a trusted guide—and, in Charley Ellis and Burt Malkiel, you have two of the finest." —JONATHAN CLEMENTS, author of The Little Book of Main Street Money "No one knows more about investing than Charley Ellis and Burt Malkiel, and no one has written a better investment guide. These are the best basic rules of investing by two of the world's greatest financial thinkers." —CONSUELO MACK, Anchor and Managing Editor, Consuelo Mack WealthTrack

Love the updated versions.with fidelity zero. 

I would recommend read John Bogle’s book. Also “ I will teach you to be rich “ by Remit. So you are well rounded.

Simple, maybe to be used as an introduction to index funds - not sufficient for a good foundation on the topic.
