I would recommend to anyone serious about managing their own money, get all the CFA books. Unlike pretty much every other investing book out there these are deep with all the information you would need to go as far as you want in your studies. I was frustrated in finding the next step past 'build a diversified portfolio' or the other cliche of 'invest in what you know'. This series solved that. A heavy task to be sure, but well worth your time.
