Gene,

Here's the list I posted a while ago as a good starter list (including =
IBD and TASC magazine):

E=3D Elder, Trading for a Living
IBD=3D  Investors Business Daily
M=3D Murphy, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets
Ma=3D  Moving Averages Simplified (Drokes)
Mc=3DMcMillan, Options as a Strategic Investment
Mo=3D Morris, Candlestick Charting Explained
Ni=3D Nison,  Beyond Candlesticks
Vt=3D  Van Tharp, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom=20
Ta=3D Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities (magazine)
W=3D Weinstein, Secrets of Profiting in Bull & Bear Markets

When you speak of a new investor, are you talking about someone who has =
only invested via mutual funds, or somebody who has traded on whims, =
etc. and lost moolah?

If we're talking complete newbies, then there are so many books that one =
should that it's just too long.  If someone wants to learn how to =
invest/speculate wisely, however, and we're limited to 5, then I'd say:

M=3D Murphy, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets
Ma=3D  Moving Averages Simplified (Drokes)
Mo=3D Morris, Candlestick Charting Explained
Vt=3D  Van Tharp, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom=20
W=3D Weinstein, Secrets of Profiting in Bull & Bear Markets

(Of course, if you are completely new, then you should read Lowenstein's =
Warren Buffet, the Motley Fool books, Peter Lynch, Graham & Dodd, and =
take accounting 101, 102, and "analysis of corporate financial =
statements" at your local business school.)

The reality is you need to read 20 books, then 20 more, then 20 more, . =
. . (well, you get the idea).

Just finishing up Reminisces of a Stock Operator.  I think this is a =
must read, but not until you've been in the market for a few years.

  Where exactly can one find this FAQ?   For that matter, how might I =
find some archives that one might search to find the answers to the =
question when previously asked???

  My contributions to list would be...

  HTMMIS (for obvious reasons)
  "Trader Vic" by Victor Sperandeo  .....=20
       good for learning about trends, trend change, and the back =
section about general investment philosophy and attitude
  "How to Buy" by Justin Mammis
      Good discussion of this concept, good remarks about reading =
charts.
  "How to Sell" by Justin Mammis
      Kind of the inverse of above, but much, much more.
  "Secrets of a Stock Operator" --  LeFavre
      Great stories, great example of attitude.  I believe that so much =
of investing/trading is attitude.  This helped me refine it, helped me =
become more objective and less emotional.

  You just asked for 5.  I probably have more than a dozen favorites, =
and many have equal weighting.  I'd love to see other's favs.

  Don (my middle initial is "M") Canfield

    Me thinks this question is asked so much that it deserves entry into =
the "Jeff's CANSLIM list" hall of fame.  Or, maybe just add a few of the =
more often mentioned selections to the list FAQ.

      If you were to make a list of 5 books for a new investor to read, =
what would they be and why?=20

      Many thanks in advance,
