Jeff,

Those are 3 good = books. =20 Only about 50 more to go!

I actually think that = Van=20 Tharp's book and Stan Weinstein's book are the first pillars of = wisdom here,=20 both well-written and logical. Van & Stan, sounds like a = car=20 dealership.

Here is a basic list I = made up=20 for a young man (college boy) who wanted to learn about TA and=20 trading. It's about 1/3 the books I have (I find Farley, Pring = and=20 Dorsey to be harder slogging in the initial rounds, so put them off = to=20 later--by that time you'll be able to choose your own books) and I'm = sure=20 that others may vote for different books in the intial cut, but = that's what=20 makes a market, even in books:

E=3D Elder, Trading = for a=20 Living
IBD=3D Investors Business Daily
M=3D Murphy, = Technical=20 Analysis of the Financial Markets
Ma=3D Moving Averages = Simplified=20 (Drokes)
Mc=3DMcMillan, Options as a Strategic = Investment
Mo=3D Morris,=20 Candlestick Charting Explained
Ni=3D Nison, Beyond=20 Candlesticks
Vt=3D Van Tharp, Trade Your Way to Financial = Freedom=20

Ta=3D Technical = Analysis of Stocks=20 & Commodities (magazine)
W=3D Weinstein, Secrets of Profiting = in Bull=20 & Bear Markets

Things I don't find = helpful in=20 the early stages of learning are: Gann, Fibonacci and = Bulkowski's=20 chart analysis.

Jeff,

If = you are a=20 college student then I suggest you spend zero dollars for = software. =20 You no doubt have access to high speed internet access (aka the = Big=20 Pipe). You should be able to utilize a lot of free sites = (including=20 this one) to get some education. I'd suggest using the MSN = site for=20 scanning, the free section of stockcharts.com for charting (and = education)=20 and the library for borrowing books. You can lurk at a = number of=20 for-pay investment sites (SI comes to mind) and learn from a = number of=20 very wise people. Most investment sites have an extensive = education=20 spot (check out stockcharts, Bernie=20 Schaefer).

If = you're going=20 to college in or near a big city, I'd suggest signing up for free=20 presentations/seminars offered by TC2K, Metastock, 21st Century = Investor=20 Educ. Center (options), etc. If your college has a business = school=20 you might look for a finance course, if it's Univ of Penna, you = might hang=20 out at the Wharton=20 School,=20 etc. Also, check to see if your school has an investment=20 club/group/etc. These can be very sophisticated, although = they=20 almost always are enamored of an FA=20 approach.

Btw, = "I just got=20 finished reading 3 stock books and I’m getting anxious about = trading" is a=20 dangerous sentence to read. The market stands ready, willing = and=20 able to separate you from your brokerage account. I'm not = saying=20 "don't tread," but rather, "tread very=20 carefully."

Which = 3 stock=20 books did you read?
