what is a good book to read to learn how to chose stocks?

Answer 1

A good starter book is How to make money in stocks by William O'Neill. It's widely available and will give you a good primer.

Just so you know, finding stocks is not very difficult. What's more challenging is how to properly trade them.

You might try Mastering the Trade by John Carter or a book by Mike Coval to start.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer 2

Forget about books, they talk of the past and investing is about the future. Go to you library and check out the Value Line Investment Survey. Here you will get a quick course in current economics and ratings of stock in several hundred industry groups. Ratings are 1 to 5 for investment purposes. High quality companies like Johnson&Johnson are rateed 1 in all categories and are suitable for all investors, new and old. Troubled companies are rated 5 in all categories and should be avoided.

Answer 3

The quintessential book on investing is "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. He's considered one of the best investors in history. It's a tough read (yes, I did read the book), but Jason Zwieg (from Money Magazine, amongst other publications), has great editorial comments after each chapter that really help make sense of Graham's somewhat tedious writing.
