Colin - can we start a suggested reading section for beginner/intermediate subscribers?
I would propose that such works should be in the $40 or less bracket and not require a Phd. in quantum physics to interpret.

G'day Shonky,
Good idea.
I'll go for Daryl Guppy every time. His books are easy to read and full of 'good stuff'.
Titles I have are Share Trading, Chart Trading, Bear Trading and Trading Tactics. He also produces a weekly newsletter and holds trading seminars.
..... and now he owes me for that blatant plug.

Love the plug!
As a member of sanford (in other words, that's who i trade through - sanford.com.au (ANOTHER PLUG worth squillions!) - we get guppified every day with freebies.
But yeah- great idea.
i just mentioned to niffur about -
Martin Pringle's Introduction to Technical Analysis - about $35, and comprehensible to me. And full of good pointers and confirmations.
i think we should review crap as well.
and - has anybody ever found a good book about day or minute trading? i haven't. love to hear if you have.

Hi Colin
You forgot to mention Daryl Guppy's books?
Anything against? I noticed you don't use count back lines that he recommended

for me - wallstein for its simplicity and multiple read value. (sometimes it sounds too - easy).
o'neill's 'how to make a living from trading???' or similar - meant for investors but flexible enough for traders. great read.
can't review elder.
guppy - dunno - admire his work, and have 3 books, but it almost seems like his books are 1/3 expansion or new, 1/3 paraphrasing previous, and 1/3 anecdotal cricket or fossicking. clever marketing ploy (hence 3 books) - but he could probably drop the lot into 1 classic. for me - not enough substance in any one book, but each tantalises you just enough and is marketed well enough that you buy it.
he has a column on my online broker (sanford) - and that's pretty special.

For my money - "You only make a profit when you sell" by Beelaerts & Forde. It covers trading methodology, for both fundamentalists and techo's, psychology - most important - as well as stoploss strategies. Excellent for beginners and advanced traders.

Having a recommended book list is a fantastic idea, especially for newbies like me. I'd like to know does anyone know where to buy these type of books cheaper? I currently buy from moneybags.com.au, however there may be somewhere better to buy. Any ideas anyone?

jake - depends on what town you're in. i don't shop online cos no bank will let me open an account. if in brisvegas, try archive books (2nd hand) in charlotte st city - they're so big they've got 3 stores for different categories, so you'll have to ask directions. memory says stocks books are in the one next door to pancake manor.

Thanks Lepe but I'm about 12 hours south of brisbane. Next time up that way I'll drop in.

Jake - an alternative option would be to invite lepe down with his favourite titles. Maybe he could read them to you, with explanations at length. Then he could go see hari - spreading the word afar. Afar as possible..

jake could be on foot - which would land me around the gold coast - preferably marginally south.
so then i wouldn't get to see hari, hari wouldn't get to see my beloved oldest, my beloved oldest wouldn't get to chastise me, and i'd be able to afford a bus home. but thanx shonky for your encouragement.
jake - tis a great store for academic, technical titles with lots of rare (and antiquated) publications. (for when next you walk into town)

Newboy- I'm new to investing (in a club of 10) and I found Stan Weinsteins "Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets" a great read.... took a little getting into, but the stuff at the start is great for re-reading as you go along. Made much more sense each time I referred back to it.

I guess a natural extension to this idea would be a book borrowing club. I mean, if I was assured that my book was returned, I would not be averse to mailing out one of my books to someone else if they paid the postage. A security bond of some sort ?
Cheers,
Hershy
