Welcome to the third issue of The Journal. My goal with The Journal is to post once a week a list of everything that I found interesting. Here is what I found interesting this week:
On New Year day, I finished reading Millennial Money: How Young Investors Can Build a Fortune by Patrick O’Shaughnessy. The book was fascinating. It was filled with useful information about investing and the way a millennial should invest as soon as possible to see the effect of computing. Like the Magic Formula found in the book The Little Book That Beats the Market by Joel Greenblatt, Patrick has his own criteria when he invests in a basket of stock with the help of momentum and value investing. I enjoyed reading Millennial Money and I learned a lot about Patrick’s insight. I would recommend reading the book to new investors and to millennials thinking about investing. Patrick O’Shaughnessy has a very interesting podcast about investing named Invest Like the Best I would recommend listening to it.
Sapiens
Last year, I bought Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari and I wanted to read the book but never got around to do it. Last week, I bought the audiobook on audible and I am happy to say that I finished listening to Sapiens. Sapiens is the best book I have read so far, and I would recommend it to everyone. I really enjoyed listening to the part about The Unification of Humankind and The Science Revolution. I know for a fact that this will not be the last time I read the book. I look forward reading the sequel Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari.
