Inside Out: An Insider’s Account of Wall Street by Dennis B. Levine and William Hoffer

Summary

A first person account of one of the very famous insider trading scandals in the 1980s. The perspective is interesting as it exposed the behind the door scenes on how deals were made. The dynamics that happen around a deal from the people involved, to the wild swings in the stock prices and the frenzies with the media is well worth studying. I consider this book something to reflect on – if you were in his shoes, can you resist the temptations?

Fractal Market Analysis: Applying Chaos Theory to Investment and Economics by Edgar E. Peters

Summary

Good book on the subject with reasonably clear explanation. College level math a requirement to read the book. Not a book for traders in general. More like a book for academics interested in analyzing market behaviours from afar.

Elliott Wave Principle: Key To Market Behavior by A.J. Frost and Robert R. Prechter

Summary

The book that defines the Elliott Wave technical analysis method. The concepts presented in the book and the supposed confirmation of the principle by the example charts do not follow the principle of scientific method. Elliott Wave is not proved (nor disproved) to be useful for trading by the book although many people may be misled otherwise. I cannot recommend this book.
