26 Lessons of the Master Trader
26 Lessons of the Master Trader is Oliver Velez's next masterpiece, and it will take you on a 26-step journey to the highest heights of trading mastery. The erroneous notion that the "individual" has no real or equal place in the world's equity markets has been held as an unchallenged truth for much too long. The old era of snobbish exclusivism has finally given way to a new era of individual empowerment. The full democratization of Wall Street is near complete, and those who desire to benefit from the rewards of such a monumental change can do so with the proper tools and techniques. This book was written for those who dare to embark on a simple, yet powerful, 26 step journey that will lead not only to the mastery of the self, but to the full and complete mastery of a priceless skill that will pay rich dividends for a lifetime. Look for it in bookstores this November.

Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator
Author: Lefevre, Edwin
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is adapted from a series of Saturday Evening Post articles written by Edwin Lefevre in the 1920s. The book narrates Livermore's ascent from a "boy plunger" to the most influential speculator on Wall Street. While much of the book is devoted to Livermore's experiences, a larger part of the book deals with trading wisdom and rules that Livermore imparts through Lefevre. Years later, many trading and investing books repeat the very same rules first enunciated by Livermore in Reminiscences, such as: go with the trend; no stock is too high to buy or too low to sell; let your winners run and cut your losses short; make your own decisions; and market history repeats itself. Interestingly, Livermore frequently violated his own rules and usually lost money as a result. The enduring appeal to the book rests in Livermore's view that the market is made up of people and the excesses of the market reflect mass psychology and the mistakes of individuals are frequently the result of the inability to control fear and greed. Thus, the views and lessons of Livermore continue to be relevant to every new generation of investors and traders.
