books on investing

does anyone have any ideas for good books to read for a beginner investing in the stock market.

Someone in another thread mentioned these books:

 

i like this book

 

"how to rule the freakin markets" by some guy that call waxie...i forgot his full name ..michael something

 

sound like a dopey book but a really good book on the do's and dont of buying stocks

 

thanks for the responses

 

dorsey wright books

Boring is Best.

 

My advice is to only be long-term (over a year) in scope, diversify your holdings, and always, always, ALWAYS have cash ready for bargain hunting after emotionally charged sell-offs (which happen about 2-3 times a year.....just like now).

 

Warren Buffett is indeed right on the money when he preaches about not buying in to any business that you don't understand and always looking for value at all times.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers

 

 

again thanks all for the responses. just doing some research before I will get in.
