This is a classic book that everyone should read before spending another penny. It is 95% financial philosophy and thinking, and just 5% practical tips and tricks and... that is why it's amazing.

Robin Hood
0 Break Diver Votes
Hard to believe for those of us who were trading stocks in the early 2000s, but Robin Hood has actually created a comission-free trading platform! You can buy and sell as much as you want without paying a cent! It's pretty awesome. They have just launched a 'fractional shares' feature so that you can buy $3 of Apple even though Apple stock per share is hundreds of dollars more than that. For more advanced traders, you can do option trading on here, and also buy/sell cryptocurrencies.

T.R.U.S.T.
0 Break Diver Votes
This is a book that is primarily focused on how to raise money for risky projects, using a method known as T.R.U.S.T. However, the acronym is perfect for helping you to choose stocks that are more likely to do well in the future: T = Team; R = Return on Investment; U = Unique Investment Opportunity; S = Sales & Systems; T = Track Record. In general, companies that have the TRUST criteria are less likely to tank and drop to zero, and are more likely to make a profit. This book will help you to ascertain the TRUST criteria in your projects, and also those in which you wish to potentially invest.Written by Break Diving Founder, Monroe Mann
