Stock Trading Books

Personally I love reading in general, I especially love reading stock trading books. You guessed it, i'm just another financial nerd. :)

I've read many books on stock trading some of them have been very helpful, others haven't been so great.

Below are some of the best stock investment books I have read so far:

A Beginner's Guide to Short-Term Trading
by Toni Turner

Toni Turner: a Beginner's guide to short term trading

This is a an ideal stock market book for the new trader starting out. The book focus' on short term trading mostly, but many of the practices can be applied to all kinds of trading.

The author writes about easy to follow trading systems including pullback strategies and breakout strategies.

The author also talks about how important it is to have the right trading mentality and how important it is to be prepared for trading. I couldn't agree more personality with her on this.

High Probability Trading
by Marcel Link

dummies

This stock investment book looks at the broad picture containing a good basic overview of trading systems, technical and fundamental analysis, trading setups, stops, entries, exit, back testing and much more.

The author makes a big emphasis about having realistic goals when trading. He rightly talks about how many newbie's think they can make a living from trading the stock market with a $10,000 account size. You guessed it, it's not going to happen.

Some of the best traders on Wall Street don't exceed 40% a year consistently.

How To Make Money In Stocks, Third Edition: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad
by William J. O'Neil

This book is an ideal additional to your book case no matter how new or experienced you are as a trader.

The author talks in depth about the strategy he uses and has had great success with.

The first rule of his system is that a company must be well established with a consistent history of good profits.

Like me, the author is a fairly conservative long term investor focused on the long term.

If you are more interested in new startups or penny stocks, this book may not be for you.

SENSIBLE STOCK INVESTING: How to Pick, Value, and Manage Stocks
by David Van Knapp

I like this book a lot. It is clearly written for small individual investors with a realistic attitude to investing, rather than the get rich quick crowd. It's written for the common man, the author isn't a wall street trader, he's just a typical investor like you and I.

David really tells it like it is in the world of trading. It makes a very big emphasis on being realistic with your investing.

The book covers many aspects of trading including how to value a company, financial ratios, discipline, trading strategy and much more. The part I like most is the section on how to value a company. This is certainly one of my top stock investment books.
