	for me i need a book can teach me evrything but not too advanced, like a for dummie book

When I find that book i'll let you know haha! It's usually a case like any other profession of reading many texts, and transforming that knowledge into a framework to begin the real process of learning which is rote experience or "screen time".

I think an author named Chris Roberts wrote that kind of book....oh, nevermind, he didnt.

	Wow, I didn't know he had a book on futures markets. I read his book The Visual Investor or something like that, great book for TA. I learned a lot, I'll have to check that one out. The problem I find with most books is they aren't advanced enough. Most books I read just skim the surface, it's hard to find a book that really goes into it and teaches me something I haven't yet learned. Has anyone else experienced that?

There's two ways to look at this 1) the books are somewhat repetitive in content 2) you've read the book but you really haven't reread it to understand the subtleties of what the author really wanted to say that is different from other authors.

I'll give you an example, one of my bibles is the Technical Analysis Of Stock Trends . It's a thick book and lots of content but each paragraph has tons of jewels that it takes many rereadings to really get a deeper message to really click in. After finding this out, I went back and reread other books and found the true significance in other great books. It's not about reading as many books as possible, it's about rereading them to get it all together.

Nah he is the guy who made so much money he went insane and now lives in a cave somewhere in Tibet.

i had too much "screen time" but nothing to do with trading though i never thought i would trade, when i bought rrsp the banker asked me
how much risk can i take, i said zero risk, it is not i don't want to take risk, just thats the thing i don't know. so i am now start learning, i will look into more advanced stuff as i get more experience.

When you get scattered ideas from different authors and concepts, this is where the confusion and frustration will begin. Moving from one trading strategy to the next is a common mistake in trading, never finding a holy grail. It's ok to read as many as possible but pick one and stick with it before trying out other methods from others book. I did this is the hard way and finally settled on one that changed my trading.

I personally reckon that before you get started reading about techincal stuff you should sit down and read the basics of growing wealth through investment. Money management etc...

Hope you guys don't laugh but I personally think that Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" should be a good starting point to help train you brain to think along the lines of using your buying power to help create more wealth.
