The Lynch books put a working fund manager's process into plain language - buy what you can explain, check the store, read the balance sheet, sit through drawdowns - and One Up on Wall Street still sets the standard for how a professional explains stock picking to amateurs. The Davis Dynasty follows three generations of one family compounding through insurance stocks.
