I searched for Business Books Suggestions titles and can't find Moar Business Books Suggestions.
So, until I figure out the count by going over all the posts...

1.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Analysis_(book)

2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligent_Investor

3.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marginofsafety.asp

I can fix the link title later if readers don't like to see the link...

Your post is confusing.

You say you're looking for business books without specifying what kind of information you're after. You're also not specifying to what audience the books should cater.

Business books cover a large array of themes:
- theory of managment
- economics
- human ressources
- accounting
- marketing
....

Books covering those themes can be very basic, easy to digest or very specialized.

Anyway, the 3 links you provided, make me think that you're after investing strategies. If it is for personal savings & investment you might wanna try /r/personalfinance on reddit.

Don't anger the forum gods.

No but I didn't fix the links yet.
And yes, those are general business books because I have 2 or 3 or 4 other links on that in here.

Also, if I say that your post is confusing, does that make me try to confuse the thread?
(I'll skip the rest, but that is a recurring theme in here.)

Also, you may try to exclude me from the strategies in those books, however, they are more efficient than confusing.
Those books relate to business and , well, market discussions.

Btw, the first link was changed after the post...
it was meant to be:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Analysis_(book)

The work was first published in 1934, following unprecedented losses on Wall Street.
In summing up lessons learned, Graham and Dodd scolded Wall Street for its focus on a company's reported earnings per share, and were particularly harsh on the favored "earnings trends."

That book is about Security, Analysis and Wall Street, and Earnings Trends.
Of course there are other topics, but it also influenced Warren Buffett today.

2.
The Intelligent Investor
Is a book from the same author as the first book,
namely Benjamin Graham , also from the 1930 and 1940s.
Both those books were written after Dale Carnegie's and Napoleon's Hills books.

And no, they are not meant to be confusing or to be used to make my posts seem to be confusing.
In fact, I do register copyright on attempts to change my work to appropriate it.
And I do study why and how because of business intelligence.
I plan to create patents to protect my works against such behaviors.
And this includes military security, yes indeed.

However, the book seem to relate to selection of stocks.

I did not read any of those books yet and they were referred to me by a business person which I will not name here as he can enjoy anonymity for now.

The third link seems that it is not a book about Margin of Safety from Benjamin Graham.
I thought that it was , and I may be in error because I didn't have the time to verify as of the posting.
I also had no internet
and the device I used to post it is less than desirable.

Anyways,
after reading the link I posted I found:
The term was popularized by Benjamin Graham (known as "the father of value investing") and his followers, most notably Warren Buffett.

WRONG

Why Experts* Keep Failing Us ---
And How to Know When Not to Trust Them

* Scientists, finance wizards, doctors, relationship gurus,
celebrity CEOs, high-powered consultants,
health officials, and more

DAVID H. FREEDMAN

I will try to read it more but,
I like the Einstein quote on the back:

"If we knew what we were doing,
it wouldn't be called research,
would it?"
--- ALBERT EINSTEIN

"There is always a well-known
solution to every human problem
--- neat, plausible, and wrong."
--- H. L. MENCKEN

"Even when the experts all agree,
they may well be mistaken."
--- BERTRAND RUSSELL

"No lesson seems to be so deeply
inculcated by the experience of
life as that you never should
trust experts."
--- LORD SALISBURY

(Personal note added: I really don't see Expertise as a technology rather than a more practical aspect of Technology itself. This has to do in great part as to how the brain itself functions. I have learned this from studying psycho-analysis back in 1983-1986+. The brain, if in any way related to Artificial Intelligence functions with theorical parts, or thinking parts, or gnosis, and the motor related activity, including those going on in the brain , which are the more practical and physical part, or reaction. It is as in the Action-Reaction concept of Newton.
Expertise also has to do with Experience, if that Experience has to do with Practice, and not just with Theoretical Analysis.
If the Experience is more accentuated with Theoretical Analysis instead of more Practical Experience, then the Expertise can be more oriented towards the Thinking Aspect without as much testing of the related Practical Aspects from Testing...)
