It can be very helpful. There are people who never take out their time to read and learn the stuff they are into, they just jump in and follow they crowd wherever they are heading to. Its good to read, cause it you dont, there are things that you will never get to know.
Right. If you plan to be an investor, better have all the knowledge and information you can get since that will be your foundation prior to gaining important experiences. Be observant as well and don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask help from people who are more experienced and know better.
