Whether you’re an Investor or a speculator Knowledge,Experience and discipline are the keys for successful market profits.Every serious market player travelling along the path understands the value of knowledge,Some serious knowledge about markets accomplished by reading books-articles or by gaining experience along the way of ups and downs. Unfortunately, not all of us will be a profitable market player,Some usually give up after continuous obstacles while others hold goals till they are achieved.Majority of the traders took my training program have two things in common,They lack the knowledge that is essential for success and their mind filled with useless information loads obtained through various means. Players from institutional background look the market totally in a different way than average retail player. Some of the conventional quotes like “never pick tops and bottoms”,”Investment is different from speculation” etc are nothing but just a belief or assumption propagated through people’s own experience and subjectivity so from that point it is unjustifiable because everyone will be a personality type, Some may do well by picking tops and bottoms than trading trends.Some People like me never felt any difference between speculation and Investment.In one way or around,we are all betting on the odds, it doesn’t make sense to hold the investment during market crashes or panic since you’re an investor!.
An average retail trader/Investor is completely bombarded with dozens of books released everyday like “how to trade”, “How to Invest”etc confusing enough to choose the right material, One often end up with looking for reviews and by the most popular one’s like best sellers, Highly recommended,5 star rating etc., If you are choosing the book based on the above method then seriously making a mistake! Yes, books become bestsellers or highly recommended not because of its original content or value, but due to marketing, paying more sums for reputation management.
Leaving all this controversies aside, I have listed top 5 books which I felt essential for every market players. Before I get into the list, Here’s a warning those looking for books like how to trade, how to invest etc. You will find none of them in my list! and some of the books I listed might be unpopular!
