George Soros, Jim Rogers, Warren Buffett, Charles Munger, Eddie Lampert, Peter Lynch, Benjamin Graham or Philip Fisher.
Peter Lynch. Kind of a long term investment book...good info but not much help to short term traders.
Whenever I go to the Borders I rearrange all the finance books the way I like them and be sure to put Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis next to the Intelligent Investor.
No, not needed. As correct analysis of the market's someone trades is all the information someone needs to know.
