"Fleecing The Lambs"

Basically the book explains how the stock market is totally criminal. And that, my friend, is accurate.

Reminisces of a Stock Operator - Edwin Lefevbre

this is the only book you'll ever need to read...written 100 years ago and still holds true about basic market dynamics

fwiw - ive been in the mkt for 10 years and still dont know shit
