Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude
by Mark Douglas
Book Description: Maximizing the trader’s state of mind is the key to successful results. Conflicts, contradictions and paradoxes in thinking can spell disaster for even a highly motivated, astute and well grounded trader. Mark Douglas, a trader, personal trading coach, and industry consultant since 1982, sends the message that "thinking strategy" will profoundly influence a trader’s success rate. Douglas addresses five very specific issues to give traders the insight and understanding about themselves that will make them consistent winners in the market.

Trading In The Zone offers specific solutions to the “people factor” of commodity price movement. It uncovers the true culprit for lack of consistency when it comes to stock picking: lack of focus and self-confidence. Through simple exercises, traders will learn how to think in terms of probabilities, and adopt the specific beliefs necessary to developing a winner’s mindset. Along the way, they’ll gain valuable insights into their own entrenched misconceptions about the market. 

Backed by compelling examples, Trading In The Zone adds a new dimension to getting an edge on the market. Through a better understanding of themselves, as well as of Wall Street’s realities, traders will come to leverage the power of their psyche for unprecedented profitability.

Financial Fine Print: Uncovering a Company's True Value
by Michelle Leder
Book Description: "Too many companies would prefer that you not read the footnotes," observes former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt. "That should be incentive enough to delve into them." In fact, not only do companies prefer you ignore the details they are required to report–the pesky particulars on exactly how they account for those whopping earnings–they take calculated steps to make this information as hard as possible to understand. But for those who know how to look, the facts that predict a company’s true prospects are usually hidden in plain sight. 

Financial Fine Print gives you the tools you need to break down annual reports and SEC filings, make sense of the deliberately cryptic language of footnotes, and get the real goods on a potential investment. 

To make money in today’s tough market, investors have to make deliberate, well-researched choices. To do this requires not only having the right information, but also knowing how to decode it. With their obscuring tactics, companies won’t help you any. So be advised: those who would help themselves–and expect to profit–should get down to the nitty-gritty of Financial Fine Print.

Market-Neutral Investing : Long/Short Hedge Fund Strategies
by Joseph G. Nicholas
Book Description:
Achieving ideal returns by diversifying away risk. Managing risk is a weightier issue than ever for professional investors. They're seeking downside protection as they grapple to remain fully invested in a hyper-inflated stock market. Market-neutral investing is one of the hottest strategies for achieving such protection. In this groundbreaking book, industry expert Joseph G. Nicholas opens investors up to new thinking on highly effective approaches to return enhancement and risk reduction through investment diversification. Nicholas shows how market-neutral investing techniques hedge exposures--to neutralize the impact of market volatility on investment performance. He demystifies these strategies and explains how to successfully put together a market-neutral portfolio. Nicholas shows the reader how to apply these approaches to a variety of investments from equity trades and fixed-income instruments, to convertibles and merger arbitrage. This is the one book that looks at market-neutral strategies head on, assessing strategies that have worked and those that have failed--and explaining why. Clear, insightful, and illustrated with numerous charts and graphs, Market-Neutral Investing is an invaluable guide for professional money managers. 
Up Close and Neutral:
* The what, when, and why of market-neutral strategies
* Clear definitions of specific market-neutral approaches
* Profiles of seven market-neutral strategies, including risks and merits
* How to build a market-neutral investment portfolio

Elliott Wave Principle
Robert R. Prechter and A. J. Frost
Developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s and '40s, the Elliott Wave Principle is a powerful analytical tool for forecasting stock market behavior. The basic concept behind the Principle is that stock market prices rise and fall in discernible patterns and that those patterns can be linked together into waves. In the years since it was first published, this classic guide to the Elliott Wave Principle has acquired a cult status among technical analysts, worldwide. And with each new edition, the authors have refined and enhanced the principle, while retaining all the predictions from past editions. Now available in paperback for the first time, this Tenth Edition of the classic text clearly describes Elliott Wave theory and applications, and includes the authors' latest forecasts, including their prediction of the great bear market to follow the past decade's bull market.
