I found the following books laying around my house: One up on Wallstreet- Peter Lynch If it's raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks- Peter Navarro The Warren Buffett Way- Robert G. Hagstrom Multiple Streams of Income- Robert G Allen 5 Rules for Successful Stock Investing- Pat Dorsey Stock Market Wizards- Jack Schwager Bull's Eye Investing- John Mauldin New Market Wizards- Jack Schwager Are any of these really good reads? I'm 20 years old and just trying to learn market basics. I read on here pretty regularly, but have trouble understanding some of the topics that are discussed on the forums. I've read all of the Newbie FAQ too, and paid for my coffee and sandwiches. Thanks for the help.
I have read three of them. Didn't help me. Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and Magee is a better read. Order it from your library.
Read all of those books and then find some more to read. Alexander Elder's "Trading for a Living" is a great read also.
New market wizards is probably the best, and peter lynch's book is good. the rest i wouldn't bother with unless you just want to be entertained. Check out some good websites and you will learn a thing or two- www.fogcityfutures.com/commodities-blog.html www.thekirkreport.com www.optionaddict.net
