A Collection of 24 Stock Speculation Classics

Theres a reason why I ranked this book all 5. All of the titles are indeed classic stock speculation books. Though I owe most of them seperately, a compliation of these titles makes it a great deal for the readers.

Below are the list of titles included in this book.

Speculation as a Fine Art and Thoughts on Life  1880
Duncan on Investment and Speculation - 1895
The Game in Wall Street - 1898
The ABC of Stock Speculation - 1903
Wall Street Speculation - 1904
The Pitfalls of Speculation - 1906
Studies in Tape Reading - 1910
Psychology of the Stock Market - 1912
One-Way Pockets - 1917
Tidal Swings of the Stock Market - 1918
How I Trade and Invest in Stocks and Bonds - 1922
Stock Market Barometer - 1922

Volume 2 contains further titles as well and definitely worth buying both volumes to keep in your trading library. You can get it on amazon for about $10 a volume... more economical than paying $15-$20 or so per individual book which I had done in the past.

One of the biggest reasons why I enjoy reading classic books from the early 1900's is because these operators are the pioneers of speculation. Everything that gets published in the recent years are nothing but just a revised version of the concepts and ideas formulated by these stock market pioneers. They are the originators and why not learn trading from the roots? It will all make sense once you have read enough of these early pioneers who relied soley on price action, volume, and human psychology.

Same seller, but this is cheaper, and is only the first volume (the second is available as well). Depends on what you want.

Yes, thanks. I ordered these books last Monday. I had some questions for the guy who put these books together and he responded to my e-mail minutes after i had sent it. He is a good guy and was very helpful.
