Reddit mentions of Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets

no less than £500 per stock.

Read Stan Weinstein's Secrets for Profit in Bull and Bear Markets. Don't be put off by the ridiculously cheesy cover.

Also read The Intelligent Investor: Benjamin Graham, especially chapters 9 and 20 I think, and try to combine his approach to value investing with picking stocks that are at the right stage in their charting cycle.

It helps to have a good stock screener to find value investments, and a good charting service to analyse charts. I use Investing.com since Interactive Investor decided to flush their website down the pan.

For your funds, read Smarter Investing.

I have been in your position and am now on the institutional investor side. I think the single most important thing you can do is read a book on technical analysis for beginners. When I first started investing, I looked for cheap stocks because I thought they were "a bargain". I quickly realize how stupid I was because I lost a lot of money in them.

STAY AWAY FROM STOCKS UNDER $5, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Now that I've said that, I highly rec this book http://www.amazon.com/Stan-Weinsteins-Secrets-Profiting-Markets/dp/1556236832

I currently use this man as a consultant for my fund and he is great at what he does. The book is a little dated in terms of references to calling your broker etc, but the charts don't change. As an individual investor you don't have the resources professionals do to buy stocks on a fundamental basis. Anyone here who thinks they do has no idea how little past fundamentals mean. You won't know if a company is going to miss or beat earnings, they do. You, however, can read a chart as good as anyone once you know the basics.

Good luck!

Must read:

Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556236832/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oV-dBbGGDR5RJ

Available at most public library networks as well if you are a broke college student like I was. :-)

It is an absolute must read as an intro for technical analysis. Just keep in mind that things will need to scale slightly due to faster movements in today’s electronic trading environment.

I'm also very new into stocks (less than a month). I would highly recommend picking up a copy of this to get you started. This is 100% on the technical analysis of stock markets rather than the fundamentals but it's amazing how much it teaches you about market trends and shapes etc..

This is also a great tool for analysing stocks!

Before buying anything, read through"How To Make Money In Stocks (4th ed.)" by William O'Neil
and "Secrets To Profiting In Bull And Bear Markets" by Stan Weinstein

Edit: I suggest reading the simpler old Weinstein book before the modern O'Neil book

The (bitcoin & all other) market's currently self-reinforcing behavior is best described by Stan Weinstein.
