There are many books, magazines, websites, blogs, broker reports and analysis, newletters and such for my reading purposes. So, I m overloaded with so-called resources, lacking in time to keep up with. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed my journey in reading about these financial markets related news and issues. So, I hv no complain ... the only thing I might 'complain' will be I am only given 24 hours per day. With full-time job, part time classes, analysing charts, readings and family to juggle ... 24-hours is certainly very short. I have to be specific on things I want to spend my time on, which will ENHANCE my knowledge, which will help(directly or indirectly) me in my future learning ...

Don't Stop, Don't Give Up!

Books : I have invested in many many books since I was out from Uni. I only started to read few books when I was 26 and as my English is not good, I could not comprehend many things I read. Reading was alien to me. Majority of Malaysians DO NOT read ... those reading are for their exams. Since young, we are used to study-hard only when exams is nearing. I am an exception(not proud of it, tho) as I do not study much of textbooks and such. In fact, I do not study for exams. I studied for interests!!

How do I started my reading habit(forcefully) is personal and I will write that in my personal blogs. What I will want to point out here is to INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE those young ones to develop/cultivate the habit of reading!! It could be a book or a magz, it could be from e-book or net, doesnt matter. It is the joy of reading that is important.

Having said that, what we read is equally(if not, much more) important. Reading is like ... nurturing our brain. Serious!! We are what we read(or watch or eat ...). I read motivational books at my early years of reading. I was 26 then, struggling with a book "Magic of thinking big". It took me two years plus to complete reading it. I do not have a habit to finish a book unless it is those interesting books, with lots of jokes, comical acts and such. Haha ...

Back to trading books ... hmm ... I prefer to buy books by local writers/authors. I do ask all my turtles to buy Pauline's book "Fear and Greed", which I will share with them someday. That is a good book to understand why stocks fluctuate and such. I m not a promoter and do not side any books --- but I m a Malaysian in heart, I prefer support local authors. I do have a good collectiion of local books written on 'money', 'financial', stock markets ... tradings and investments related books.Plenty!!

Why bought so many books? Isnt a few is enough?

YES .. a do believe buying a few good books to read and apply are sufficiently enough. You see, I am in different path. I PLANNED to be a trainer(in trading and investment) ... or a cikgu, teaching trading one day. I said one day ... as I planned that 5 years ago, even before I know what market is!! Haha. Plain dreamer, right? Or am I?

You see, I AM teaching 16 of them now and more to come next month. Teaching is MY PASSION. If I learn bowling, I want to coach. Since I am good and love Maths, I teach Maths. Simple as that!! At the moment, I m into trading ... so, my 5-year goal to start teaching succeed. Whether I could extend my teachings in tradings or not, it is up to the performances of my turtles. Haha. Actually, they are my 1st batch of trading. My actual cohort-0 do not learn technical, do not learn TA ... but full 7 classes of FA!!

One of them asking me what books I could recommend for TA. Again, I do not want to point out one particular book as I am NOT a promoter. I want to remain neutral. I will personally tell them. Yes, my turtles will have direct access to me .. things I do, things I read and things I analyse.

Books ... please grab some for your readings. Motivational and self-help books is essential as MAJORITY of us fail due to our MINDSET and ATTITUTES. Read more good books, reduce those dramatic, fiction books. Input your brain with good POSTIVE words in daily basis ... seriously, you cant be good in your trading if you dont even understand YOUSELF and how your brain works!

Good time to indulge myself with my books(overbought - RSI above 70. haha). And the sight-seeing will open up another new windows to my sight!

TEH

p/s : I am compling on books that I have(some not read) and for those novices/newbies who really want to know what books I will recommend, please write to me personally at cpteh@yahoo.com I will just send you my book-list but it is up to you if you want to buy any.
