I decided to dig deeper to my books collection today. I got this tendention to “buy and forget” if it goes to book or other readings (I just remember that I have 2 editions of BusinessWeek that I haven’t read). However as part of my something-resolution, I decided to uncover many books that is left unread and begin reading it. Here’s my list:

• Options As A Strategic Investment by Lawrence G. McMillan. I actually bought this book from Amazon a while ago but haven’t got the time nor the willingness to read it. However, in the wake of my recent options trading development, I think this book is a must-read category. I bought it because of the review on Amazon and I have to say that those reviews are thoroughly correct. This is by far the best Options-related book that I have ever read (mind you, I only read it partially so the book still holds full surprises for me).
• The Options Course by George A. Fontanills. I have this book around a year ago when I started virtual trading options. This book serves its course perfectly. This is the simplest Options book for beginners simply because Fontanills uses ‘human-language’ instead of trading lingo. I only read it half-way through and I believe that the book still holds many knowledge hidden from me. Better get it unlocked ;)
• Technical Analysis for the Financial Market by John C. Murphy. I already read this book back to back but not in a manner that I wanted it to be. I use this book for sleeptime reading and obviously failed to extract the bigger portion of its content. This is a handbook not just for technical traders but all traders alike (since I use technical analysis for my entry and exit points and fundamental analysis to pick the stock) and I will going to re-read it. This time in a correct manner (read: bringing my notes and pen and write it down)
• Mastering Elliot Wave by Glenn Neely. By far this is the hardest technical analysis book that I have ever read. It’s so comprehensive that 5 chapters are dedicated to introducing the Elliot Wave theory and another 7 chapters to show how much ‘modification’ can we gain from that theory. It’s a must read book for any wave student. I put it to this list simply to remind my self to read it harder (and smarter) because I’m currently stuck at chapter 3.

Those books are the ones that I will read during this two weeks period. I’m going to finish my commentaries on Jack Schwager’s Market Wizard book tomorrow and for the rest of the week, you will see entries about the materials I have learned from the books above. Wish me luck to digest the knowledges ;)
