Couple of Peter Lynch books come to mind- Learn to Earn and Beating the Street. His first book, One Up On Wall Street has too much commentary about the 1987 crash, Beating The Street is better book to read. I have not read Learn to Earn book but reviews sound like a good choice for high schooler.

Best Regards.

Hi Tim,

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator . . . . "I went to work when I was just out of grammar school. I got a job as a quotation board boy in a stock brokerage office . . . . "

Book was written by Edwin Lefevre . .. aka Jesse Livermore . . . . in today's dollars some estimate he made over $10 billion during one period of trading . . at one time was one of the 50 wealthiest men in the world . . . had a 300 foot yacht . . his own train . . numerous Rolls Royces . . had the Barnum Baily Circus come to his home for his sons birthdays (3 days of fun) . .

concentrated on the best stories . . . the eight to ten best stories at the time were his market . . took huge, concentrated positions at the right time . .

little changes in the market . . the same strategy beats the pants off all the rest . .

my thoughts for what they are worth . . .
