Early charting best-seller was mostly fiction: "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market," by Nicolas Darvas, a dancer by trade. The State of NY tried in court to enjoin its publication and failed.

Many stock market books are themselves frauds. The best known are those by the Beardstown Ladies, an Illinois investment club.

No, I only have use for a small fraction of them but I am happy to share the wealth with those looking to read and learn...enjoy and good luck!
holy christ that's a lot of books. have you read them all???
thanks for posting this link and for putting them there for us to read.
i read this one along with many others, and that's a great book for beginning habits. Also, Alan Northcott writes a great book on candlestick charting that's good for beginners.
I just finished "Trend Trading for a Living" by Dr. Carr and that was pretty good too. what i really liked about this one is that he gives you scanner criteria and tells you how to set up your screener to find stocks that match his strategy. obviously its up to the reader tweak the screens and make them your own.
did you get some good reviews on this ebook? i'd be interested to see the reviews.
great books by austrian economist/investors

Hey all, I put together a collection of trading related books and thought peeps here might get some use out of them. Enjoy and happy trading....

Just finished "Trader Vic" by Victor Sperandeo. Good all round book, not much new to me but has a good full perspective on trading by an experienced fellow. I find some of it a little radical and biased as he is a real "red blooded" American and a strong believer in Austrian economics but worth reading over all.
3 more on the go now,

I have a charting ebook by Kiev Nadir called the Breaktest method. I'm looking for people to read and review it for free. You can contact me at kurtan@telus.net to request a free copy.
Its based on trendlines, two or three day candlestick formations, along with some support and resistance concepts combined.
Thanks.
Risicare I agree with your private post about the content issue about http://thebestinvestmentbooks.blogspot.com but so I mailed him about this. His reply was that chinainvestorking.blogspot.com is his main blog which has the content........hahahaha
I am reading "A dozen reflections on life and markets" by Brett Steenbarger.
Free ---> http://www.eezybooks.com/Storefront/Store_Prod264_A-Dozen-Reflections-on-Life-and-Markets.aspx
It appears they have quite a few decent books for free and cheap (digital copies)
His blog is a great resource unfortunately he is not updating it anymore after taking a job at a hedgefund recently. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/ Probably the best source of trader psychology on the internet.
Most everyone wants the quick and easy way. "Tell me what I should buy, and when to buy and when to sell"
Much more satisfying to learn how to do it right on your own. I've been trading for less than a year, but have 6 trading/investing books sitting on my shelf. Reccomend A beginners guide to short term trading By Toni Turner for anyone new.
JAPANESE CANDLESTICK CHARTING TECHNIQUES
A CONTEMPORARY GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES OF THE FAR EAST
by STEVE NISON
You can get the second edition at Amazon. I have the older one with the black cover and love the book. Probably should do a reread since my last read was in 1999.
http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Candlestick-Charting-Techniques-Second/dp/0735201811/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274159581&sr=1-1
I have some pretty neat PDF docs if anyone is interested. Hedge fund risk management, business strategy, stock trading, etc. Maybe we could put some up somehow in the ibox or someone can put it online so we can all see.

Nice blog with a TOP-40 of investment books
You got a good price. I bet that you as well will get the "Indian edition" It appears someone from the East exports used copies. Considering the books subject I got a really good laugh out of their use of arbitrage to profit!
"For sale in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka.......... only not for export to any other country in the world"
Would be funny as hell if an Indian student read the book then realized the possible arbitrage.
Thanks, ordered it, 3 to 5 days, under $20 bucks to boot. I'll catch up with you once I read it.
Trading wise, Trading and Exchanges by Larry Harris for sure, with a chaser of Beyond Greed and Fear by Hersh Shefrin.
I don't think there is any other book out that compares to "trading and exchanges" for a good view of the markets.
Beyond Greed and Fear is probably the best I have read on behavioral finance in general. For purer applications to trading Van Tharp, Ari Kiev, Alexander Elder and Brett Steenbarger all have great books on behavioral finance.
Actually Risicare this site is a good idea. I'm intrigued, I'll give ya that. I'm a business major finishing up my Masters. I waited a long time from the Bachelors to now, but finishing.
So if you have to recommend one book, what would it be.
I am starting into Essentials of Corporate Fraud by Tracy Coenen. Not really trading, but still good stuff.
Robert Schiller's lectures at Yale on finance

Carl Icahn
http://academicearth.org/lectures/carl-icahn
I liked that one, I have read a few of Alexander Elder's books. I have found I preferred Ari Kiev's and Van Tharps books more though I think. Elder just kind of bugs me as he comes off more as a salesman. Steenbarger is really good also, his blog and books are worth reading
http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/
They all the same main thread though just variations on the theme. Behavioral finance is so very important to getting anywhere that is for sure.
The main scholarly book I have found on behavioral finance was "Beyond Fear and Greed" By Hersh Shefrin, It is very good.
I Don't think this board is gonna make it too far on Ihub, but I figured I would try as there did not seem to be anything similar which in a way suprised me and in a way did not at all.
