The ones worth reading from your list (best at top)

"High Probability Trading" Marcel Link, $26.37 I didnt get a heck of a lot from this but if I had been starting out I think it could have made a big difference
"New Trading Systems and Methods" Perry Kaufmann, $78.75 Good on systematic thought
"Trading Day by Day: Winning the Zero Sum Game of Futures Trading" F.H. Chick Goslin, $65 Good discretionary approach as is
Weinstein's Secrets for Profiting from Bull and Bear Markets.

Also a must read ... because the system is easy its implementation that will get you in the mid point of your development is ... Douglas, The Disciplined Trader (download the review from the TASC store, it give you a good overview). And some of the papers at Brett Steenbarger's site http://www.brettsteenbarger.com/articles.htm



Could be worth a read depending on where you're heading:
"How Markets Really Work: A Quantitative Guide to Stock Market Behaviour" Larry Connors, $49.95
"Street Smarts: High Probability Short-Term Trading Strategies" Laurence A. Connors, $175
"Connors on Advanced Trading Strategies" Larry Connors, $150
"Trade Stocks & Commodities with the Insiders: Secrets of the COT Report" Williams, $32.97
"Beyond Technical Analysis: How to Develop and Implement a Winning Trading Strategy" Tushar Chande, $85
"Trading Systems That Work: Building and Evaluating Effective Trading Systems" Thomas Stridsman, $34.65

Light but pleasant
"How I made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" Nicolas Darvas, $10.36

I thought Nkhoi's book list wasnt bad but had two inclusions I would highly recommend against: the bill williams chaos book which is complete crap and anything by Ryan Jones will give you a lead into destructive (and errored) money management - read van tharp perhaps if you want to start of with more on money managment than, say, risk no more than 1% of your equity on each trade now and maybe 2% once you get going.

"Light but pleasant". That's what you said about the masterpiece from Nicolas Darvas. What do you mean?! Are you crazy?! It's the best book about stock trading/investing ever written.
 
No it isnt :)

I'd rate:
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
Weinstein's book &
W ONeil's HTMMIS

as more useful for someone learning to trade stocks. But it was a light enjoyable read. Reread the book and realize how lucky he was - if he hadn't been lucky then he wouldn't have made the big bucks. The three above offer a more complete education.
 
Interesting replies.

I have actually read some of the titles suggested and will read some others when I get the opportunity.

'Best' is a personal interpretation, take whatever works for you and run with it.

Yes, Darvas was "lucky", but that was only because he's method made him a "lucky" investor.

PS. Livermore died poor, and Darvas died rich. Was that only because of luck?
