The Stock Market Course 16 reviews
George A. Fontanills, Tom Gentile
Wiley, 2001
A Comprehensive Infrastructure for the Comprehensive/Competent Investor
I picked up this book again after having read it about a year ago. I highly recommend that any beginning investor read this book--more than once and at different times as his/her own investing experience and confidence increases.
There are many things to recommend about the book, but I'll focus on the the most key. First, the book is written in a conversational style that engages the reader. ...

You Can Be a Stock Market Genius: Uncover the Secret Hiding Places of Stock Market Profits48 reviews
Joel Greenblatt
Fireside, 1999
Practical information for all investors
Don't make my mistake. I avoided this book because of its title which makes it seem cheap and superficial. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm very glad that I did. Greenblatt is funny, direct, and easy to understand. His advice is practical that can be put to use immediately by investors at all levels. He actually "spoon feeds" a lot of this info to the reader which is rare. Of course no ...

How The Stock Market Works 10 reviews
John M. Dalton
Prentice Hall Press, 2001
Another money maker! . . . just not yours.
Very few people will really tell you how the stock market actually works. If they did, it wouldn't. After you read the basics about placing orders and some technical indicators and patterns they hope you'll jump right in and lose your money. Do yourself a favor, study the market from a social history/military/control mechanism point of view by utilizing free library books. By the time you ...

The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing221 reviews
Jason Kelly
Plume, 2007
Great book to learn the basics
I bought this book after all the positive comments from other readers. Now that I have finished reading it, I can honestly say that it has been a great purchase.
It's a good first step to get involve with the stock market. Even though it would appear to be a book directed to amateurs, it can help professional traders to avoid some "amateur" mistakes.
This book definetly doesn't have all the ...

If You're Clueless About the Stock Market and Want to Know More 20 reviews
Seth Godin
Kaplan Business, 2001
Good general overview, but beginners need to consider...
First of all I like the way Seth writes. Hes a good writer and an expert on issues regarding the web.
This particular book is fine as a general reference on the stock market, but frankly beginners will need concrete strategies to make it as online stock traders.
The reality is that the stock market doesn't care if you are a beginner or not. It will gladly take your money away if you don't ...

Nicolas Darvas
BN Publishing, 2007
Gems for a lifetime.....but beware!
Back in 1980, I came across a copy of the original version of this book in a used book store. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I had been floundering around in the stock market for a year or two, and suddenly, after reading this book, I knew what I was up against, and why it was so hard.
This book is one of my favorite books of all time, on any subject. It's an absolute must ...

A History of the Global Stock Market: From Ancient Rome to Silicon Valley1 review
B. Mark Smith
University Of Chicago Press, 2004
a decent, but cursory, overview of financial markets
i've been looking for a book that discusses the history of markets around the world, including stock markets, and this one does a decent job of filling part of that desire. what interests me is the way in which we, as humans, have gone from an idea of selling concrete things to abstract things, and how that's evolved over time.
smith's book starts with some of the precursors to the modern ...

The Stock Market (Wiley Investment)4 reviews
Richard J. Teweles, Edward S. Bradley
Wiley, 1998
A Very detailed Primer.
Although this book is an introduction as well as a reference, some knowledge of stock market is assumed. The author often uses technical terms without defining them in the chapter(although there is a small dictionary in the back). If you have traded once or twice before, you should know at least some of those terms.

The Inefficient Stock Market8 reviews
Robert A. Haugen
Prentice Hall, 2001
Good Analysis
The Inefficient Stock Market is a nice slap in the face to Modern Finance. Getting my MBA, i was always turned off by Portfolio Management Theory because of the unrealistic assumptions made on the onset (such as everyone being rational and everyone holding an efficient market portfolio). Mr. Haugen provides a great analysis and statistical evidence to show that many of those critical assumptions ...
