About Novel Investor

I started writing in 2010. The blog, at its core, focuses on compounding investing wisdom. For years, I’ve shared timeless wisdom from some of the greatest investors and financial writers to help improve investment decisions.

Broader investing wisdom can be found in the weekly blog posts. Topics range from market history to behavioral finance to timeless investment concepts.

More specific topics can be found in the Library. Members can find an extensive collection of resources on the investors and writers mentioned above with the best bits pulled out and organized by topic.

In the Books section, you’ll find my notes on a growing list of books organized by genre. Biography, Business, Finance, History, Science, and more are represented.

And if you’re a fan of quotes, check out the Quotes collection for over 1,000 great one-liners from the best investors and finance writers around.
