Hi guys, I am a newbie just trying to look for some advice on some good books for beginner to get into it and just as a stepping stone.

Thanks a lot..Appreciate....
 
Come into my Trading Room
Market Wizards
New Market Wizards
Stock Market Wizards
Devil Take the Hindmost, The History of Financial Speculation
When Genius Failed
Oil factor
Soros, the Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire
Adventure Capitalist
Sun Tzu's Art of War for Traders and Investors
Trading Risk: Enhanced Profitability Through Risk Control


These are some of the books that helped me. I would say I gained the most insight from the Market Wizard series.

The books you read may be based on what type of trader do you see your becoming, (1) technician, (2) fundamentalist and news/event player, or an (3) allstar well rounded 40/40 type using both techs and funds and using multiple instruments and going wherever the action, optimal risk reward, and opportunities are and having optimal flexibility with such range.


Hope this list helps as a starting point.

what books do you already have or have you already read?

also, it may be obvious, but the trading part is easy - buy and sell. it's the trader, the person, the you that will be the challenge. if you noticed, ROASO has already been suggested several times. it's not even a strategy book - but it lets you see some of the inner workings (and trappings) of a trader's mind.

anyway, hth ...

take care and gtty -

BTW: if you don't already have ROASO, here is a link to a pdf of it:
