Best investment books for the holiday season
– moneysense.ca
Christmas is fast approaching and some us aren’t looking forward to all of the shopping, cooking, and cleaning the holiday requires. That’s why, after consuming the last of the figgy pudding, you might want to settle down by the fire to read a nice book.
But instead of rereading the scandalous libel inflicted on poor Ebenezer Scrooge by Charles Dickens, you might opt for some lighter fare in the form of a good book on investing. Here are three recent offerings you should try.
Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations
by Tobias E. Carlisle
Deep Value is perhaps the best book on value investing that has been written in recent years. It is filled with stories of about famous, and not so famous, value investors. Mr. Carlisle also makes a strong case for using what he calls the acquirer’s multiple to picks stocks and provides the numbers to back it up. It’s a strong buy for value investors.

UK Brexit minister: Leaving EU won’t mean economic isolation
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – Britain’s minister for leaving the European Union tried to reassure businesses on Thursday that exiting the bloc won’t cut the U.K. off from much-needed international workers and investment.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said the U.K. was seeking “the freest possible market in goods and services with the EU and the rest of the world.”
In a speech to the Welsh arm of the Confederation of British Industry, Davis said Britain and the EU “should steer clear of protectionist measures.”
He conceded that many business leaders wanted to remain in the 28-nation EU and its tariff-free single market for goods and services.
The British government has refused to say whether it will try to stay in the single market after it leaves the bloc. EU leaders say that’s impossible unless Britain allows the free movement of workers from other EU countries — something the government says it won’t do.
Davis said while Britain will be “ending free movement as it has operated before … we won’t do it in a way that is contrary to the national end economic interest…
