i have an old text by Bodie. the chapters on "security analysis"- about 100pages, have taught me a lot about how the stocks are priced. now i know there are various "gurus" who advocate certain strategies and some have written books like Graham, Lynch, Fisher,etc. But obviously u can get a summary of their strategies online or in some standard text. So any must reads?

also regarding Graham, is his book interesting in a historical context, like what does he write about for 200+ pages if his pricing strategies can be summarized in 1 page?

in the end it is about synthesizing all available information and making a judgment. It helps to have a framework for analysis which you seem to have explored. In the end, investing is about controlling your own biases. I think of investing as different from trading but it is very useful and necessary to read books about trading mentality etc to avoid some common problems.

I am concentrating on adding money to the market. They're just going into an index right now.

Don't know offhand how far back it goes - somewhere in the 90s? but edgar is good for getting used to reading financial statements.

Seth Klarman's text? how does it compare with Graham's and Fisher's books?? since it's a more modern book does it cover most of the points made by Graham? or is Graham much more systematical?

Atlas Shrugged, 1984, and anything else that deals with succeeding in a world gone to hell with government control and personal irresponsibility. They will help you during these times more than any stock guru's book.
