Favorite BooksIn my time as a trader/speculator/investor, I have come across many books and publications about Wall Street and the stock market – some useful but most not. It is interesting to note that more money has been on Wall Street authoring books, writing newsletters, and giving seminars than actually made on speculation itself. This may not seem obvious to the public today – given the fact that the greatest bull market in history has just ended – but in due time, I believe this fact will be made clear to most people. Following is a list of books which I believe will help my readers in gaining a better understanding of the stock market and trading in general. I believe that those who truly take the time to study these books and study stock market history will greatly benefit from this endeavor. There is really no “magical formula” in making money in the stock market. To truly succeed, one must put in the time and effort, especially since trading or speculating in the stock market is, in the author’s opinion, the most competitive profession there is today. Please note that the author decided not to implement a personal rating system since he believes that the following books represent all kinds of trading styles – and some may be more beneficial to certain traders and vice-versa.
