I wanted to get some recommendations from the board on what are your best/favorite investing or trading literatures. Here are my top 3:

1. Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns by Thomas Bulkowski
2. How to make money in stocks by O'neil
3. How I made 2,000,000 in the stock market by Nicholas Darvas

Thanks!

For many...this book might be a bit basic...But I highly recommend "How Charts Can Help You In The Stock Market" by William Jiler...1962. I have the original version...But later editions are readily available. It is a great primer for the novice and a refreshing review for the more experienced...You'll even find that William O'Neil did not discover the "Cup w/ Handle" chart pattern...Jiler had it...he just called it the "Saucer w/ Platform"...But it is the same pattern...I attempted to get everyone all over the Internet to go back to the original name last year...But it didn't work...But I did get a few to switch from "Pivot Point"...We now call it "Flash Point".
