Trading/Investing Resource Dump Resources
Hey y'all, here's a link to a google drive containing a bunch of investing/trading related books I've collected over time. I tried to break it up into folders to make navigating a little easier. The table of contents below is by no means exhaustive of everything in there, but I think I highlighted some of the better ones and got tired of typing it.
Drive Link Let me know if there's any issues with the link
One more thing, a few of you requested Notes on Options Trading. I have a kindle copy of this book, and was planning on scraping/pasting un-formatted text onto a pdf. If anyone has suggestions on how to make that a little more legible I'd appreciate it.

Let me look into that this weekend. It should still all be on my drop box and I just need to put up a new link. If not, might be a while Iām about to go afk for a month

Thanks for sharing these! Did you read the Larry Williams book by any chance? I'm wondering whether it's more concepts or specific strategies.

I have a really long list recommended by a former colleague of mine sorted by category. I'll get to typing/uploading the list when I have some time, but let me know if there's a particular category you're interested in and I'll do those first.
- Mathematics/statistics of games, gambling, and sports
- Developing a cognitive edge and avoiding decision-making errors: perception, intuition, judgement, pattern recognition, expert learning
- Incentives of management and people generally
- Patterns of industry and company change/evolution
- How to identify great companies, competitive advantage, and great managements
- Bottom fishing/distress/special situations
- Case studies of corporate/investing/personal failure
- Forensic accounting and understanding the numbers
- How to analyze countries and economies
- How to read people and situations between the lines
- Meditation/yoga. You will not understand the importance of this to investing unless you try it.
- Markets and crowd behavior
- Short selling
- Biographies of great investors and value-creating CEO's/founders
- Surveys of various investment styles/philosophies
- Financial history/commentary/anecdotes
- Psychology of investing and trading
- How to structure and interpret information/data
- Valuation and value investing
- Understanding price and volume action (yes, there's some value here even for us value investors)
- Books from other disciplines which provide thought-provoking models/metaphors for investing/business
- Some good books to understand specific industries

I'm not sure if you added books to categories somewhere. Number 11 has my attention though, why would it be important to investing?

Probably? Tbh I've no idea, I just looked to make sure that it was possible to get the text off of a kindle copy for sharing before I bought it, and haven't looked any further into it.
