Why it’s on the listThe second of two anthologies Vertin and Ellis assembled for the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts — excerpts from decades of investment writing, so the field’s arguments can be read in the words of the people who first made them rather than in a textbook’s summary.

Classics II — Another Investor’s Anthology

Where I heard about it

  • Li Lu — on Li Lu’s Recommended Book List, entry 16 in the section on Value Investing, Finance, and Capitalism (cited with a 1991 date and no publisher). That section’s spine is the primary literature — Graham, Buffett, Fisher, Klarman — and the two Vertin-and-Ellis anthologies cover the rest without listing another hundred books. The section reached me through X posts from @F_Compounders and @themattharbaugh.

About this edition

Connections

Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
