Review: Early Bird: The Power of Investing Young

Early bird is a short read at about hundred pages, and has some good advice for those starting out on their investment journey which mostly focuses on:

  • The power of compounding
  • Finding companies you like/have experience of
  • Identifying companies with moats
  • Some  criteria for filtering companies including finding those who are good citizens

Some of which was new to me. The tone of the book is quietly reassuring and made it seem like investing was very possible.

Lastly, the book features a number of interviews with people who'd started out investing when they were young and were now reaping the dividends.  These were good, but it's hard to imagine some of the young people I know finding the advice of older people that appealing.

Verdict: Easy introductory read.
