Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated.

Thanks. These look awesome. Can’t wait to dig in.
These are great. I downloaded everything I could find at Da Street, but it’s great to have it organised, which Da Street archives ain’t.
Some of my best investing lessons!
Wow thanks for taking the time BR. I’ve been trying to hash out your complete modis operandi.
Barry,
How about a big old PDF of these? It’s an Ebook in waiting.
Barry’s little book of investing.
Special thanks, Barry, for your wonderful reading lists. FYI, after recently reading the “The Art of Contrary Thinking” by Humphrey B. Neill (thanks to you), I was very pleased to discover that several of the older works referenced by him were available on Google Books. “Habit” by William James (1914), “The Crowd” by Gustave le Bon (1896) and more of his works, and “The Laws of Imitation” by Gabriel Tarde (1903) are all there for asking. Well worth checking out, IMHO.
Barry,
One mistake, When to Sell by Justin Mamis was not published in 1929, he was born in 1929. The first edition was published in 1977 and updated in 1994. Great book even though some strategies are outdated.
Thanks for this great compilation. If someone wants to be a success, there is no better start than these articles, books, and recommendations.
Amazing and very useful. Thank you very much for sharing this helpful information. I can’t wait to take a look at all of them. And, btw, I totally agree with @The Window Washer, an ebook would be an excellent idea.
Much appreciated, Barry.
