I think that is a great idea. Read not only "how to invest" books but economics and economics history. You can also read SEC annual reports for free. You learn more about how individual businesses are run and how they are related than anywhere else. You can also read back in time to see what CEOs were commenting on in different years and before certain now-known events happened. for example, how did individual homebuilders or banks view the bubble in real estate and and how did they comment on it over the years in their annual reports.
