A good trader should also look at fundamentals because it will give him more conviction on his trades. There are many technical analysis books out there but I seldom see good books on fundamental analysis. Besides finance textbooks, are there any other books that offer good practical information that you can understand easily and apply to your trading?
Check out this book "MP Equity Valuation and Analysis with eVal 2003 CD-ROM". This talks about Accounting Forensics (spelling?). It has rave reviews from smartmoney.com. This one single book good both for Fundamental Analysis and its use in trading.
