Bighiller Posts: 1497 Incept: 2009-05-06 In my head, via Canuckistania	Lessons of History was awesome. Now on to A Beginners Guide to Short-Term Trading What is needed is a poll on the top books, as recommended by TF'ers. ---------- Does anyone REALLY care? 2009-11-25 11:46:27 Permalink
Drench Posts: 28631 Incept: 2009-11-10	My vote goes to the already-mentioned Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. One important lesson from it is that money is a tool, not a goal. Know yourself well enough to know your risk tolerance and how you will use your profits. 2009-11-27 14:11:28 Permalink
Smarttradepro Posts: 2 Incept: 2010-03-02 Banned	These are great books. I have read some of them. Well, I do read a lot and just enjoyed most of them.. :D ---------- "Check out our Forex Buster Live Event March 27th-29th in Las Vegas!" Enter to Win a Free Ticket to our E-mini Event!

Themortgagedude Posts: 8894 Incept: 2007-12-17 saint louis	Read Breaking News and trust your gut. Never trade more than you can afford to lose and you'll be OK. As far as books - pick up To Kill A Mockingbird if you want to read a book. Or The Essential Calvin and Hobbes. ---------- I'm already visualizing you with duct tape over your mouth. 2010-05-06 00:07:49 Permalink
Mikek31 Posts: 4387 Incept: 2009-05-04 Chicago	I'm not a trader, but Alchemy of Finance by Soros was prescient. I'm currently reading Inventing Money - the Story of Long Term Capital Management, by Nicholas Dunbar. This is really helping me understand derivatives and how they came to be used, abused, and priced etc. ---------- Intentional manipulation of markets is usually thought of as a crime,* not a benefit, and should lead to indictments, not praise.* -Karl 2010-05-06 00:48:42 Permalink

Bigsapper Posts: 2471 Incept: 2010-06-25	"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" - First one I read about 3 years ago based on recommendations (obviously). Really good in that it reads well as a story and immerses you in the culture of traders/trading. "A Beginner's Guide To Day Trading Online" - Another recommendation that was a good introduction to the technical side of things. Probably could skip it if you go to the next one in my list. "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" - I'm halfway through this one (I only read it when I'm paying homage to Thomas "John" Crapper) and one of the telling things for me is that a lot of what I thought was "slang" being used around here are actually technical terms for T/A and it's helped me to better understand what's happening. Hasn't translated to the pocketbook yet but hopefully only a matter of time. My 2 centavos. 2010-09-23 14:06:54 Permalink
Wontbackdown Posts: 2585 Incept: 2007-09-20	"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" Great book for a holiday, read it 3 times already. Just love ut. Take something away each time... Edit thanks RD will read it over the weekend. Edit Brian Shannon Technical Analysis using Multiple Timeframes Last modified: 2010-09-23 18:32:00 by wontbackdown 2010-09-23 18:06:30 Permalink
Rd Posts: 488 Incept: 2008-02-27 Long Island, NY	Along with "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" I highly recommend "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis - it really shows that most of the guys on Wall Street are full of it. 2010-09-23 18:26:57 Permalink

Patmcgroin Posts: 8257 Incept: 2007-09-12 Chicago	Das Kapital - Karl Marx ---------- "I know a few arcane, obscure financial acronyms that the general public doesn't know and that's about it." 2010-10-22 14:38:52 Permalink
Wontbackdown Posts: 2585 Incept: 2007-09-20	Have to say in the middle of reading Liars Poker very enjoyable. Also Just finished Nick Leeson's Rogue Trader. Lesson learned: Dont double up/down on losing trades. Excellent easy read. 2010-10-22 16:50:09 Permalink
Goforbroke Posts: 5407 Incept: 2007-11-30 Just call me 'Comrade'	"The Meaning of Life" by David Friend. There are two volumes, the second of which is "More Reflections on the Meaning of Live." Best "read" (they're picture books) when listening to "Fantasia on a Theme" by Thomas Tallis. Also, Studs Terkel, "Working." ---------- We have met the enemy and it is us. -- Pogo 2010-10-22 21:15:44 Permalink
Bigsapper Posts: 2471 Incept: 2010-06-25	Has anyone read "Intermarket Technical Analysis" by John Murphy? 2010-10-29 06:32:38 Permalink
Dopdahl Posts: 12093 Incept: 2009-03-15 It's gettin' to be ri-god-damn-diculous	"Mastering the Trade" John Carter. Also: "As a Man Thinkith" James Allen. http://www.asamanthinketh.net/ Also, a big thumbs up for "Trading in the Zone" as well. ---------- I can't predict a single thing beyond +6 pips.

Deergoose Posts: 57 Incept: 2010-07-01 Cincinnati Banned	I am interested in reading up on two topics; various taxes and tax law in the U.S., and regulation for various financial topics/institutions. Anyone know of the best way to read up on these topics? Are there good books or is my best bet to just read up on SEC/IRS websites... If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. 2010-12-14 13:46:57 Permalink

Asimov Posts: 104651 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time Online	It's not a book. It's a BUNCH of books! http://www.traders-library.com/ ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity. If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money.
