Jeff,

Those are 3 good = books. Only about 50 more to go!

I actually think that Van = Tharp's book and Stan Weinstein's book are the first pillars of wisdom here, = both well-written and logical. Van & Stan, sounds like a car = dealership.

Here is a basic list I made = up for a young man (college boy) who wanted to learn about TA and trading. = It's about 1/3 the books I have (I find Farley, Pring and Dorsey to be harder slogging in the initial rounds, so put them off to later--by that time = you'll be able to choose your own books) and I'm sure that others may vote for different books in the intial cut, but that's what makes a market, even = in books:

E=3D Elder, Trading for a = Living
IBD=3D Investors Business Daily
M=3D Murphy, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets
Ma=3D Moving Averages Simplified (Drokes)
Mc=3DMcMillan, Options as a Strategic Investment
Mo=3D Morris, Candlestick Charting Explained
Ni=3D Nison, Beyond Candlesticks
Vt=3D Van Tharp, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom =

Ta=3D Technical Analysis of = Stocks & Commodities (magazine)
W=3D Weinstein, Secrets of Profiting in Bull & Bear = Markets

Things I don't find helpful = in the early stages of learning are: Gann, Fibonacci and Bulkowski's = chart analysis.

Jeff,

If you are a college = student then I suggest you spend zero dollars for software. You no doubt have = access to high speed internet access (aka the Big Pipe). You should be able = to utilize a lot of free sites (including this one) to get some = education. I'd suggest using the MSN site for scanning, the free section of stockcharts.com for charting (and education) and the library for = borrowing books. You can lurk at a number of for-pay investment sites (SI = comes to mind) and learn from a number of very wise people. Most investment = sites have an extensive education spot (check out stockcharts, Bernie = Schaefer).

If you're going to college = in or near a big city, I'd suggest signing up for free presentations/seminars = offered by TC2K, Metastock, 21st Century Investor Educ. Center (options), = etc. If your college has a business school you might look for a finance course, = if it's Univ of Penna, you might hang out at the = Wharton = School, etc. Also, check to see if your school has an investment = club/group/etc. These can be very sophisticated, although they almost always are enamored of = an FA approach.

Btw, "I just got = finished reading 3 stock books and I’m getting anxious about trading" = is a dangerous sentence to read. The market stands ready, willing and = able to separate you from your brokerage account. I'm not saying = "don't tread," but rather, "tread very = carefully."

Which 3 stock books did you = read?

Does anybody have any = recommendations for stock software? = I’m looking for getting the most for my $ plus I’m a college student so, I = really don’t have to much money to spend (<$100). Sorry if I’m asking too = many questions but it’s my first day and I just got finished reading 3 stock = books and I’m getting anxious about trading.

Thanks,
