Blogs & Books

I also read books and blogs to help me refresh my previous knowledge and build up my understanding of investments terminology including books “Investing in your 20s & 30s for dummies” by Eric Tyson and “Win big, lose small : 10 simple keys to spot great opportunities, catch the biggest trends, and achieve consistent performance in the stock market” by Andy Yew.

I often feel that blogs are more reliable because it is up to date and I can search particular terms easier but reading a book is more systematic as it will be presented in a specific flow.

Reflections:

I doubt many young people will still read a book to start investing/trade as other forms of media such as blogs, and YouTube to name a few have become more and more reliable, up-to-date, and more relatable with their attention-grabbing headlines. However, as a beginner, they may choose to have a more systematic approach for learning most of the things needed but at the same time, they may also just want to spend a few minutes a day to read more things they are interested in. Thus, reading a book may be more suitable for a younger person who has more time and wants to build up their knowledge.
