The stay-home order implemented almost a week ago has taken some getting-used to. This can be perhaps one of the best times to pay attention to yourself and focus on your own self-development.
If you’re new to investing and trading, or are thinking of getting started, the safest thing you could do for yourself is to learn the proper way of doing it before putting your money in. Yet sometimes, you may want to read up on your chosen field to gauge if it’s right for you.
To help you do that, we asked our coaches about the resources they found useful when they started on their investment or trading journey. Here are our top picks of books you can find on our coaches’ bookshelves!
