There’s little doubt that for the forseeable future we’ll be making most of our money in internationals and commodities in some form. My personal portfolio which has increased in value between 28% and 46% annually since 2003 is nearly 2/3rds internationals and commodities in the form of hard commodities or oil/energy/metals stocks, and gold miners.

You need to have the first three at a minimum, in my opinion. That’s less than $40 total as you will pay no sales tax and get free shipping. Order as many as you can afford as they are all considered top notch reads and you WILL pay for them with better investments. If you’re really tight, skip #2 and get #1 and #3. #2 Adventure Capitalist is both a travelogue, a commodity and international stock investment guide, and a read that will give you the midset you need to find the great deals. #2 Hot Commodities is more investment specific and a little more timely. Cramer’s #1 Real Money is a must own as you’ll refer to it time and time again.

I’ve ranked the first few in my order of choice. Select the others based on your interests.
