Sports Arbitrage

Has anyone read Sports Arbitrage - Advanced Series by Rajeev Shah?

I forgot I started this thread nearly 2 years ago!

I am beginning a new trading journey and with that comes a lot of research so I am starting to read a lot again and came across my old thread while scouring for book recommendations on the forums.

I see there are a lot of pdf links being posted and wondered how you guys read these? Do you just sit with your laptop? Does an Amazon Kindle allow you to read them on it?

By using some of these links you could soon effectively pay for the Kindle with the money you save by not having to buy the books so would be interested to hear any ones experience with a Kindle.

Cheers and glad this thread has been added to so much!

Just bought myself a couple of books:
Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets - Stan Weinstein
Active Investing - Alan Hull
Guppy Trading - Daryl Guppy.

I now own 6 books. Other 3 are The Wolf of Wall Street, Catching the Wolf of Wall Street (both Jordan Belfort obviously), and The Snowball by Warren Buffet.

Obviously I am looking to move into the share market at some point, and while I have some spare money and a bit of a buffer before the PC I figure the time is now. Will let you know what I think of these books when I get through them. Starting with Stan Weinstein as I heard the best of the 3 about it. Seems pretty specific at the moment, so will have to see how the message works out, and then get through the other books, then obviously have a look at the markets myself.
Makes for interesting reading though...

Technical Analysis Plain and Simple: Charting the Markets in Your Language, 3rd Edition

Publisher: FT Press; 3 edition | 2010 | 352 pages | English | ISBN-10: 0137057059 | 7.8 MB

Technical analysis offers powerful, objective tools for picking stocks and making money - and in today's market environment, that makes it more indispensable than ever.
Unfortunately, most explanations of the subject simply confuse investors instead of enlightening them. In this clear, practical, fully updated book, Barron's technical analysis columnist Michael N. Kahn introduces state-of-the-art technical analysis techniques in simple language that any investor can understand and use. Kahn explains exactly how technical analysis works, then teaches you how to read charts and translate them into actual buy and sell decisions. Along the way, you'll learn how to use technical analysis to complement your current approach to stock selection, discover what makes a stock look promising to technical analysts, and objectively assess both risk and reward. This updated and revised Third Edition contains many new examples reflecting today's transformed market environment, including detailed coverage of recognizing bubbles, including real estate (2006), oil (2008), and bonds (2009). Kahn offers powerful new insights into the relationship between technical analysis and market psychology, as well as crucial, up-to-date guidance on sector rotation for changing markets. He also presents a full chapter on "when things stop working": how to recognize when usually reliable technical tools are being overwhelmed by "once-in-a-thousand-year," "black-swan"-type events.

Best trading book I’ve read (and I’ve read a few!) is Enhancing Trader Performance by Brett N. Steenbarger. There is an absolute tonne of useful information in it. It’s like Trading in the Zone on steroids (and without the anecdotal repetition).

Reading PDFs on an e-reader is not a good idea, the pages do not fit and you have to scroll up/down/left/right, PIA.
