I constantly get asked to recommend investing books. There are so many good ones out there but here are some that I suggest:

How to Make Money in Stocks (4th Edition), William O'Neil
How to Trade in Stocks, Jesse Livermore
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Edwin Lefevre
The Disciplined Trader, Mark Douglas
Trading in the Zone, Mark Douglas
Trader Vic-Methods of a Wall Street Master, Victor Sperandeo
Trader Vic II-Principles of Professional Speculation, Victor Sperandeo
How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market, Nicolas Darvas
The Battle for Investment Survival, Gerald Loeb

There are 3 Market Wizards books all written by Jack Schwager:

Market Wizards
The New Market Wizards
Stock Market Wizards - My old boss Mark Minervini is featured in this one

Confidence and emotional control are extremely important in order to become a successful trader. I believe the ideas taught in the following “self-help” books can help develop that “mental toughness” that’s needed. The concepts can also be applied to many areas of our lives:

Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
You'll See It When You Believe It, Dr. Wayne Dyer
The Power of Positive Thinking, Norman Vincent Peale
The Magic of Thinking Big, David Schwartz
Awaken the Giant Within, Anthony Robbins
