People will say that they're dated, but I still love Petewr Lynchs two books, One Up On Wall Street and Beating The Street. The stocks he discusses are dated for sure, but the principles are still excellent for a beginning investor.

There is another thread with the same exact topic. The Future for Investors by Jeremy Siegel is one of the few books that I would recommend for beginning, intermediate, and advanced investors.
Have you gone to Morningstar and taken the free classes on stocks? They also put out 3 books about stocks, but all the information is available on their website for free.
read anything by buffet and Graham. Also read up on books related to value investing. Over the long-term value investing is the way to go.
Buffet? Yes, he is a Folk Hero these days, but who can invest like him?
How many people own an insurance company so that they can invest the 'float'?
How many people will get preferred share offerings like he does?
How many people get multiple telephone calls every day inviting them to invest in closely-held companies?
Didn't think so.
For us small guys (and gals), buying and holding good, dividend-paying stocks in solid industries is the best way to go. Certainly, Buffet and Graham books explain the 'value investing' principle, but Buffet himself doesn't believe in paying dividends so I wouldn't listen to him on dividend investing.
My understanding of Buffet's 'style' (other than the above mentioned advantages) is that he mostly pays attention to the book value of companies. And, his investment holding company has seen an increase in book value year-by-year although it hasn't done so well of late. The catch with that is that you only realise the gain once you sell. There are no intermediate payments (dividends) along the way. Intermediate payments give the shareholder the option of reinvesting in that particular company, or taking the cash and using it elsewhere. As has been shown by recent history, not all reinvestments of profits in companies has been for shareholder benefit; e.g., corporate executive raises, corporate jets, risky bets on CDOs, and etc.
please try penny stock trading...............it may be give u so benefit.................
Please don't try this. Value investing over the long term is the best way. I am also stock picking as well and searching for a good book. The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market investing is very good book and has an systematic approach to picking stocks.
Here are my picks:
AA
WFR
RDN
SD
HUN
YGE or TSL
