Guides · Investing books
Start with how you think about risk and price. These investing books are the public-source DNA behind many Agents61 master seats — unaffiliated simulations, not endorsements.
Reading builds the method. Agents61 is where you rehearse it — Mandate, isolated masters, paper proof. Create an account and staff the desk.
Intro · investing
Benjamin Graham
Graham’s constitution for the defensive and enterprising investor: margin of safety, Mr. Market as a manic partner, and the discipline to separate price from value. Read it before you trust any tip — including fluent AI. On Agents61, value seats still echo this frame when they dig logic on a ticker.

Benjamin Graham & David Dodd
The deep cut behind Graham: how to read statements, bond and equity analysis, and why narrative without numbers is theater. Dense, but it trains the muscle that kills weak theses early — the same job Agents61 debate seats are built for.
