Recommended reading for those having trouble getting into -- and more importantly -- getting out of a position. Written in Australian so requires some translation, but not really a problem. A MUST read for short term traders at any level.

This is a book well worth reading. It emphasises the advantage of small position traders and that money management is essential. It starts with the basics and builds from there. Guppy talks a lot about the importance of a trading plan and developing your own index to aid in monitoring the stocks you follow. Best of all he encourages you that a trader can start small and build up a decent portfolio. Although written for the Australian market it can be adapted anywhere.

If you are looking for a book to start finding out about the share trading game... start here! The book is very easy to read and points out most of the important parts of trading i.e having a trading plan with an edge, good money management and treating trading properly (know what you getting yourself into). This book provides the necessary building blocks to further study and is good for any market.

This book has been continously in print since publication in 1996. It is now published by John Wiley (Australia). It apepars consistently in the top 10 lists of Australian business books.
