Re: Let\'s Read
OK, I've setup a Digest to track our reading...
Please continue to post your thoughts, comments & suggestions in this thread. Any thoughts on whether I should add additional material to the digest, or suggestions on managing the stickying of current reading topics, or anything else related to the reading project, please post them here. Still looking for others to take on leadership of the reading of other books, so please let me know if you are interested.

Re: Let\'s Read
You guys have got to read Profiting In Bull and Bear Markets by Stan Weinstein. It is considered a classic, it's a great introduction to technical analysis, it's straightforward and understandable and it works.
It's a great book. Darvas' book is also a really entertaining, quick read to follow up after Weinstein.

I am also not interested in reading chart tea leaves by eyeball metric. Give me something I can use, that is quantifiable, verifiable, and actionable. The real problem is that anyone who has good ideas about system development and evaluation isn't going to write a book about them. eastbay

Re: Let\'s Read
fwiw, I'm majoring in financial instruments and quantitative finance at NYU (MBA) and will share what books we've read (all provide a solid foundation):
Investments by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus (this is an intro to finance book: CAPM, fixed income, options, valuation, etc) Hull's book on derivatives Damodaran's book on valuation (he teaches at NYU and is great for valuation) Tuckman's book on fixed income securities (even if you don't care about bonds/swaps/options/forwards, the book is heavy on binomial trees, risk neutral probabilities, and creating replicating portfolios, which I believe helps in developing a trader/investor mindset) Those are the biggies so far, in case you're interested in what the finance schools use.

[/ QUOTE ] Hull is a classic Damodaran's Corp Fin book is great, and everyone I know at NYU loves him, so I'll assume the valuation book is good as well Tuckerman I don't know "Investment Science" by Luenberger is a less unnecessarily wordy version of BKM edit: that being said, I doubt any of these are what we're looking for here.

Re: Let\'s Read
Ed, in case you hadn't noticed, his post was a reply to the OP... are you saying that none of those books are worthwhile reading for the forum?
In either case, I find the information on what's being read in colleges, to be interesting. I also wouldn't mind seeing some posts by some of the college students taking courses, describing what they are learning in some of their courses.
