He highlighted Nick Maggiulli's Just Keep Buying to illustrate the tried-and-true investment strategy of continually channeling funds into index funds. Feroldi also recommended Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money as a great starting resource for understanding human financial behavior, and pointed to Michael J. Mauboussin and Alfred Rappaport's Expectations Investing for those seeking a more analytical look at stock prices and market expectations.
