good intro into more complicated investment

good intro to more complicated investment scheme, but very basic ideas than real information, worth $5 price though

Old School Investing

Old school stories of investing. May want to stick with something more relevant. Still a good foundation of wisdom.

Excellent book

Whether you're interested in Fundamental or Technical trading, this book has snippets of wisdom for everyone. It won't tell you a particular stock to buy, but it will help you understand a variety of aspect of the market and help you define your philosophy of trading. Both the introductions and the readings themselves are enlightening. Very enjoyable listening!
