Additionally, what would be your other recommended books on the subjects?

you need more than 1 book for each subject. For Investing, "Stocks for the Long Run" by Jeremy Siegel and "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered" by Gallea. Trading is a tough subject. Jim Cramer's books may help you.

A great introductory book on investing is The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. The book is very good at educating the reader on what methods constitute "intelligent" investing. As for trading, a great introductory book is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, by Edwin Lefevre. The book is a thinly veiled autobiography of trader Jesse Livermore, one of the greatest of all time. The book shares his thoughts and tactics on trading, which remain practical today. Other recommended books are: A) Investing: One Up on Wall Street, by Peter Lynch and Common Stocks, Uncommon Profits by Philip A Fisher; B) Trading: The New Market Wizards, by Jack Schwager and Trading for A Living, by Alexander Elder.

There is no one book, there is no one time frame, there is no one indicator, there is no one "answer."
It depends on your background, your knowledge, your skill level, and whether you are a beginner, novice, or whether you have actually read a book before.
You might be surprised that your local library carries hundreds of good books on the subject, and you may not have to buy one. If they don't carry it, they can get it through the InterLibrary Loan system from any library in the country for free. I've gotten close to a hundred books myself this way.

Jim Cramer's "Real Money". Also you should read "Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing"by Jason Kelly.

I personally like Ted Warren. Old school and still effective. Or you could just go to your library and read lots of books for free and develop your own taste for what kind of investing you'd like to do.

Anything written by Warren Buffett. The man is a genius and worked hard to get where he is. He's got the experience and he's right behind Bill Gates as the richest man.
