Hi Guys it would be a lie to say that I have missed you motley fools however I can say that I am looking forward to getting back into the markets and hearing from my friends on the forum. My holiday reading has been ' The Great Crash 1929 and Tulipmania" I have also just spent the last 10 days with my mother in law so if I come back a little bearish please understand.

Hi John. Nice to have you back. My trading reading is currently "Market Wizards" by Schwager (and got "New Market Wizards" as a follow up). What a great read! I find it difficult to read technical books last thing at night, but Market Wizards is interviews with great traders and very easy reading. Inspiring stuff and highly recommended to anyone who hasn't read these two books.

Reading The New Market Wizards - which I bought a long time ago and re-discovered it on my bookshelf last week. Agree with you Tango - lots of insight and learnings from the "wizards". The Schwager interview writing style leaves on exited, realistic and provides a better understanding of the individual psychology / personality of different successful stock and derivative traders.

Last couple have been Kalahari.net.. sometimes use Amazon (got a great hard-back Ben Graham from them) and sometimes Exclusive (great coffee-table illustrated 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator')

I found the "New Market Wizards" in the local library some time back - I'm a real Scrooge
