Investing Books

[dbacks2008]

I'm looking for some books to read on investing while I have some extra time. I was wondering what some books people recommend are, I've heard some titles such as The Intelligent Investor, The theory of Investment and Security Analysis are good but I'm wondering what are others people recommend.

There should be a couple in the thread that are really good Do take the time to look through the list

Here's what i gathered from the thread:

anfern057:
How to make money in stocks by Bill O'Neil
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre
Alchemy of Finance(you won't learn HOW to get rich, but you do learn some interesting ideas) By George Soros
The Right Stock at the Right Time(by Larry Williams)
Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas

JGotti:
The Intelligent Investor- Benjamin Graham
One Up On Wall Street - Peter Lynch

WallStGolfer31
High Probability Trading by Marcel Link
Options as a Strategic Investment by Lawerance G. McMillian

Sorry if i didnt mention all of it, go check it out yourself

I personally recommend:

Reminences of a Stock Operator (MUST READ FOR ANY TRADER)

How to Trade Stocks

Any book by William O'Neill

Options as a Strategic Investment (A MUST READ FOR OPTIONS)

Martin Pring has some interesting Techincal Analysis books which explain and show how to apply the tools;however, John Magee has a book on how to use technical analysis to identify trends which is very good.

Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis will teach you the fundamentals, but they will mainly attack technical analysis as crap. You just need to choose your poison because millions have been made investing and trading.
