So I have been searching for a while now and came across a book called The Power Curve...I've seen it on other forums. People saying it is good for the beginner and advanced traders. Just wondering what you guys think about it before I pick it up. The author is Scott Kyle. Let me know soon please!

Hi,

The Little Book of Common Sense by John Bogle; founder of Vanguard and index funds. This will be a great start. I'd also suggest the Warren Buffet books based on your investment strategy..

I've benefited over the years from frugal investing as have these two very successful gentleman. Hope this helps.

My favorite is Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

However, understand that this is not a "how to" book but instead more of a book that will lead you in the right direction. The author teaches you how to think about money so that you can learn to make your own decisions rather than depend on "financial professionals", who may be looking out for their own interest rather than your best financial interest.
