gtg - Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, I had my eye on both of those books too and Stine's book looked good so maybe I will start with that since it's at a better price point and you seem to like it. I will probably read Minervini too at some point soon.

This guy "SYSTEM HUNTER" on amazon has put together a pretty good stock market reading list. Stan was #1, Warren #2 (why I was looking at this book), Minervini #5, and Stine #6, etc.. Some of the books are a little expensive b/c they are older or are not mass-market. Others (Minervini, Stine, Weinstein) are more reasonable. Not sure what his background is but you all can check it out...

Yeah, System Hunter seems to be well enough informed to take notice of his recos. I've spent hours on Amazon reading reviews after being pointed to books from reading trading forums and trading blogs of successful people or at least who I think know what they are talking about. I've built quite a big wish list of what I consider to be the most worthwhile ones. Some I "wish listed" before I decided on using stage analysis as my primary trading method so I may not read many of them now. System Hunter also brought my attention to Stine's book. Minervini's was on my wish list and was brought to the top when isatrader mentioned it was complimentary to SA.

I've got some options books in there. When I become more proficient at this I think a good investor strategy would be to sell puts on stocks entering stage 1 bases hoping to either accumulate stocks on the cheap or generate some income.
