I couldnt get thru the The Crowd / Extraordinary Popular delusions, but I read bits and pieces. Am still working on Random Walk.

Heck, here are all my stock book reviews:

GOOD BOOKS

Market Wizards, Jack D Schwager. Fantastic. Interviews with top traders.

The New Market Wizards, Jack D Schwager. Fantastic. More interviews with top traders.

McMillan on Options. Great. Many practical real recent examples.
McMillan's other book on options too.

Investment Biker; Around the world with Jim Rogers. Great. Geopolitics, culture, markets.

Reminiscences of a stock operator, Edwin Lefevre. Great. A classic. Much of the action takes place in 1906, but the principles of investment, speculation, bull, bears, rallies, and suckers are timeless.

The Million Pound Bank Note, Mark Twain. A well written short story.

A Short History of Financial Euphoria, John Kenneth Galbraith. Short but good.

Crisis Investing for the rest of the 90s, Douglas Casey. How to profit from financial collapse. Gold, real estate, politics, etc.

How I made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market. Great; classic fundamental approach.

The Great Crash 1929, John Kenneth Galbraith 1954. Good. Financial sociological look at 20s.

OK
Winning on Wall Street, Martin Zweig. Good. Conservative advice on fundamental value and timing.

Jesse Livermore: Speculator-King, Paul Sarnoff 1967. OK. Story of old time market operator.

How to Buy Stocks, Lous Engel and Brendan Boyd. Dated, but a classic.

Getting Started in Options, Michael C Thomsett. Decent introduction.

The Definitive Guide to North American Mining Stocks, Douglas R. Casey & Jerry Pogue. A technical discussion of speculative gold stocks. Assumes gold is going up.

DIDNT LIKE

Education of a Spectulator, Victor Niederhoffer. Blowhard, but some good info.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the madness of crowds, Charles Mackay 1841. OK.

Wall Street Money Machine, Wade B. Cook. Wade tries to sell his seminars, but provides useful information on covered calls and rolling.
