Reading list · In their own words · Updated 2026-07-14

Books by the superinvestors we track

The best way to understand a manager's 13F is to read the manager. Several of the investors whose live holdings you can follow on this site wrote the definitive book on their own method — and reading it turns a list of tickers into a coherent way of thinking.

Buffett's shareholder letters (collected in The Essays and the complete Letters) are the primary source; Lynch teaches you to spot great businesses early; Greenblatt hands you a systematic formula and the special-situations playbook; Einhorn walks you through a real short thesis. Each pairs directly with a live profile on HoldLens.
