“The small stock trader” by Mika is also a small unique book that covers almost all the major stock market topics such as the traits of a successful small stock trader, how to choose a few simple focus stocks, market sentiment and industry, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, short selling, your edge and competition, catalysts that move the stock prices, stock trading plan, discipline, risk management and psychology. It is a simple book of about 100 small-sized pages (more like a collection of tips, perhaps 4-5 hours read), but it will answer many of your questions, so, it is a great book to start (no need to mention that about 90% of your lessons you are going to learn from your own experience/mistakes). It is also a fun-to-read book, as it is accompanied by a few jokes and observations from poker, intelligence world, relationships, happiness, Zen, and psychology.

Hi, nice list.
I read a lot of those books and some are great, however, I think the list is a little bit long. In my opinion, roughly half of the books works as well. What I am up to is now to get deeper into the professional side of investing as I think a lot of the mentioned books are really more for beginners and some even only written in order to make cash out of it, so my question is whether you have some recommendation for books that are more professional, like “university investment/finance etc. course readings”. I think you have a good overview about books relating to the topic, so I would really appreciate if you could post some books that go deeper especially into fundamental analysis of companies (not stocks like PE PB etc.)
Thank you in advance
