📚 2026 Reading Plan for Investors: Compounding Knowledge Before Compounding Capital

A good investment book doesn’t just help for a year. It upgrades your decision-making system for decades. Consistent reading - 30 minutes a day—can quietly shift your entire investing curve. Not through predictions, but through better judgment, emotional control, and clearer thinking when markets are loud and confusing.

This is my 2026 reading intention, shared with the investment community for reflection and discussion.

1. Why Reading Is a Long-Term Investment Edge

Markets change. Human behavior doesn’t.

The best investment books:

• Improve how you think, not what to buy

• Teach patience, probability, and humility

• Reduce costly emotional mistakes

Reading compounds invisibly—much like great investing itself.

“The biggest investing errors come not from lack of intelligence, but from lack of temperament.”

2. Investing Framework: Staying Calm in a Noisy Market

A strong framework helps investors:

• Ignore short-term noise

• Separate price from value

• Act rationally when others panic or chase

Books written by great investors are essentially borrowed experience—learning their hard lessons without paying the tuition fee of losses.

3. My 2026 Reading Goal

• 6 books total

• 30 minutes per day

• 1 book every 2 months

• Focus: timeless investing principles, psychology, and strategy

The goal is not speed—it’s absorption and application.

5. Core Investment Pain Points Every Investor Faces

• Fear during drawdowns

• Greed during bull markets

Books help build strategic distance from these traps.

6. Key Learning Themes Across Great Investors

• Risk comes from ignorance, not volatility

7. A Thoughtful Reading Plan (How to Read)

• Take notes on ideas, not facts

• Re-read key chapters

• Apply concepts to real investments

• Reflect more than you consume

A great book read twice is better than ten read once.

Closing Thought

Markets reward patience.

Books build patience.

May we all invest not just in assets—but in wisdom, clarity, and long-term abundance.

📖 May everyone have abundance of wealth—and the temperament to keep it.
