Kirk,

Ive never read a single book about investing. Please give me five books to read in order.

[/ QUOTE ]

1. "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (literally #1 loved trading book of all time) by Lefevre
2. "How I made 2 Million in the stock Market" by Darvas
3. "Way of the Turtles" by Faith
4. "When Genius Failed" by Lowenstein
5. "The Intellegent Investor" by Graham, of which there's an excellent revised edition now which I'd be sure to buy rather than the old one (if that's even possible).

I'm on Way of the Turtles right now myself but it's already helped me tremendously so it's on the list.

This list is obviously very general but if you're just looking to sort of stick your head in and see what the deal is anyway, I think that list will give you a great idea of what trading/investing is about. There's obviously lots of others that I haven't read yet but which should probably be on there. I'm also not an investor , I'm a trader, so I have my bias. But you asked.

Also please keep in mind that I have gotten seriously into trading around March-April of this year, then WSOP started and I had to take lots of time off, and back again full time now that it's over. So to say I'm no authority on trading/investing is an understatement of the year.

Kirk
