The Big List
February 18, 2008
Before I list these books, I have to tell everyone that I have read many stock market books. There may be some current books that are great too, but these are the ones that definitely helped change my trading life.
I can’t remember anymore, but I think when I was 18 I was in a major automobile accident and had a very serious injury happen to me. It ended my collegiate sports career but helped start a lucrative stock market career.
During my time spent in the hospital and at home (home hospital) during the year it took me to fully recover, I purchased over 100 books. Out of those 100 books, I still own all of them. Sadly, if someone could have told me that about 90 of them were pure junk and couldn’t help me make money consistently, I would not have bought any of them and would have used the money to invest/trade. Therefore, I would buy just what I list here. I have a bookshelf of books I will never EVER read again, but along with those are these gems that are invaluable; and I have read them many times over.

Would also add “Trader Vic - Methods of a Wall street master”. Written by Sperandeo (interviewed in market wizards). Excellent for newbies and experienced traders. Covers technical analysis, psychology, risk management based on statistical risks and economics and using it to trade successfully.
Another recommendation is “Pit Bull” by Martin Buzzy Shcwartz. A very famous daytrader, eventually opened “Sabrina Capital” which he had to shutdown due to developing pericarditis which almost killed him. In the style of reminisces, probably more suited for more experienced traders or anyone working in finance industry.
I have to recommend Monster Stocks by Boik as a MUST READ. This profiles all of the best stocks, in a book, from 1997 to current. I loved it! I honestly believe this deserves to be up there with the rest of the best.
