Did a bit more reading, Narative andNumbers by @aswathdamodaran.bsky.social is an excellent guide to bridging valuation to the story that could drive a stock. Who Will Defend Europe by @keirgiles.bsky.social is a sober take on the parlous state of European defence. All books were excellent reads.

Got a bit more reading done. Crashed by @adamtooze.bsky.social excellent, published in 2018 still feels relevant and shows how long the shadow of the 2008 crash looms. The War for Ukraine by @warinthefuture.bsky.social another excellent read to understand strategies and adaptations on both sides.

Bit more reading done this month. I can highly recommend The Great Crash, is a good starting point if your interested in economic history.
Currently reading Mick Ryan's The War for Ukraine, if your interested in defence stocks this is good research material.

Bit of a slower reading month, but some excellent content. Security Analysis is really worth the hype, but take your time with it. It really does rewire your brain. Manias, Panics and Crashes is a tour de force in economic history, understanding cycles and capital flows.
