Although you don't hear too much about Marty Zweig anymore, in the late 80's and early 90's he was the authoritive voice in investing and in my book, still is.

This book was my first investment book. Showed me how to make money in any market and how to do it on my own without listening to pitched from brokers and other commissioned financial people.

This book is still a winner. Highly recommended.

This book is a quick and interesting read, and Zweig does a good job of demonstrating and describing his strategies and models to the everyday, stock market layman. This book, and others by Zweig, have been and were recommended to me by several money managers, whom I know to be very successful in their careers. The thing I will take most from this book is Zweig's instruction on how he uses contrarian indicators (specific ones that he finds the most critical) to predict market behavior.

Gives an insight in mindset of a succesful investor/trader and quite a few original perspectives about the stock market. Highly recommended, even if sometimes sounds like a generation old.
