Trading with Common Sense - Thanks for your comment. I agree that it is very interesting that no matter how many market panics there over time people still repeat the same mistakes. I think part of the reason is the short-term thinking that is rewarded in the investment community. Generally managers that take the long view and are not making quick profits and keeping up with competition have difficulty succeeding. Those that are so short-term focused may not be as aware of dynamic nature of the markets and panics.

Great list. I thought Irrational Exhuberance by Robert Schiller just about sums everything up at the moment. One of the problems we have at the moment today is that there are so few people around who have actually been through something remotely like this before and as such if we don’t understand fully how we all screwed up and got into this mess then how the heck can we make sure we get it sorted properly and don’t repeat the exercise?

Thanks for the additions Chuck. I have wanted to read these books too, but haven’t added them to the “official list.” I suggest that you visit the bogleheads forum at http://diehards.org/forum/index.php. But you probably already do.

Interesting blog, and good reading list. Your current reading list is very similar to mine. You might consider the following:

Bogleheads guide to investing, by Taylor Larimore, et. al.

All About Index Funds, by Richard A. Ferri. Very in-depth analysis of the different market indices and pseudo-indices. Not a directory of funds, but a detailed analysis of the ins and outs of investing in indices.

Asset Allocation, Roger Gibson.

Good luck with your schooling and career.
