    Wow. You would think that a site dedicated to people making their own way in the financial markets would encourage sourcing knowledge from everywhere. Warren buffet credits much of his success to the fact he reads many books a year. many other quite successful people are known to be avid readers. Most of the.

    You cannot lose when you open a book. Ignorance is the enemy of a trader and thing about ignorance is that if you are ignorant, you will never know it.

    Ok ok ok

    No one should read

    Everyone is a poser

    Certainly don't listen to knowledgeable posters

    Everyone stop reading right now

    Just stop it

    I would add Ed Seykota's Trading Tribe, and his website, especially the FAQ's.

    I don't remember what all I read... I do remember I enjoyed the story books... Stock Market Wizards, Market Wizards, etc.
    Also I recommend the series by Adrienne Laris Toghraie, Trading on target. You can know all you wanna know, but if you don't understand your psyche you'll be a great analyst and not a trader

    I think that with a list of books that long, he might benefit from a link to The Dewey Decimal Classification System. It's a shame that my Google is broken otherwise I'd help. :D

    Being one that reads, watches and researches what others state. I do not to post a great deal yet, the benefits are substantial. If it were not for the knowledge gained in reading and studying, I would not have what gained what the man has blessed me with. Earlier I inquired on a particular book to study and was met with positive suggestions. My quietness would be greater if met with many negative posts.

    I should not, yet will embarrassingly admit I continue to feel earlier life would have been more productive if quality attention to lectures and notes in economics were foremost on my mind rather; than paying attention to the female next to me. "No rude intentions to any female, as I was at fault.

    Regarding the subject of financial gain in mind for those that write a book. Many future minds would be affected when a book is not written. Wrath may be on me when I think of a different a different method and author, Benjamin Graham, comes to mind.
