Profiles of the early giants in the 20th century like Phil Fisher, Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, John Templeton, T. Rowe Price, and so on. Train's writing style is stuffy and snobby at times, but his Money Masters books are very worthwhile reading because it exposes you to the philosophies of so many of the great investors. Some specific techniques are dated, but the fundamental principles will always be relevant. You should also definitely buy the second piece "The New Money Masters" which covers the next generation of investors (as well as some older ones) like John Neff, Peter Lynch, and George Soros. I still re-read them occasionally even though they're all dog-eared and have notes in 4 different colors of ink in them!
