Books? Not necessary.. Books basically don't help u anything much on real-life trading. It juz gives u whatever knowledge u might need like gordon growth model, single pricing model, u/value or o/value stocks, so on & how u derive and estimate the stocks price based on market performance; watsoeverla..hehe... they might help if u wan to do some stock analysis.. But usually, for beginner investor, maybe some simple stock evaluation should be justificable like analysing the finacial statments, the stock past performance, growth of company, industry, and recent developmnt.

Anyway, on my suggestion for beginner level(juniors in stocks), try reading some magazine, like personal money(local), or financialdaily ,etc,etc to look up on latest development of some companies, local economic reports and so on. Be hardworking to flip through the business section on the dailies. Track the stock prices also, try to get histroical prices to assist u on the stock performance..

Also, if Any spare time, maybe can enroll in Module 6 & 7 examintion by SC, i guess this will help u at least something at beginner level...
Tis was wat i did when i was pursuing my finance degree.. as too much free time d..


If u still insist on refering to the books, go Library..seach for it..whole Rack is YOURS..
