    there are experts who can guide you. some are just lucky , some can smell profit at a distance. im not any of theses. i just keep away so as not to regret losing when im not responsible for the loss.

    For your first book, I would read One up on Wall St by Peter Lynch, the most successful mutual fund manager ever. Its very simple reading and simple concepts. Also after making almost every mistake over the years, I found it to be the best investing system.
