Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (Wiley Investment Classics)
Amazon Price: $13.57


Customer Review: A story based on the life of legendary trader Jesse Livermore who was famous for being short the market just before the 1927 crash and made over 100 Million dollars while 99% of all investors lost their life savings. A truly fascinating story and after reading it, I was a believer that timing the market and individual stock moves can be done with great success. My journey into the world of TA began after reading this book.

Option Volatility & Pricing: Advanced Trading Strategies and Techniques
Amazon Price: $40.95


Customer Review: My favorite options trading text, bar none! I believe if you understand everything presented here you will have a huge leg up.

This book gave me the insight and confidence to take the other side of covered call writers’ positions and profitably trade the out-of-the-money calls from a purely volatility standpoint.

It also put me on the path of trading volatility around events like earnings releases and FOMC meetings. Read this before embarking on any options trading ventures. Even though you…
