Stock Options For
Dummies (312 pages, $21.99 softcover, 2001, ISBN 076455364X), by Alan
R. Simon, published by Hungry Minds.
Let's say you've been offered a job at a highly promising (but untested) new company. The salary is less than outstanding - in fact, it's a 20% cut from what you're making now - but the offer includes a stock option grant for 10,000 shares in the company. You're not sure what to do. Take heart; this book will help you make a confident, informed decision in scenarios like this one. This book takes the mystery and intimidation out of this often-confusing subject.

Four Steps To
Trading Success: Using Everyday Indicators To Achieve Extraordinary Profits
(307
pages, $59.95 hardcover, 2001, ISBN 0471414824), by John F. Clayburg, published
by John Wiley & Sons.
Success in any area of endeavor, whether it be a craft, the arts, or business, is not based on having the right equipment or raw materials, but rather on knowing how to use them. Likewise, success in the stock market is not dependent on having access to good indicators, but on knowing how to read them against prevailing market conditions. The author explains, in clear language, how to use and interpret common indicators that are freely available on the web to develop a trading strategy that fits each trader's personal goals and ambitions.

The Million
Dollar Car and $250,000 Pizza (322 pages, $16.95 softcover, 2000, ISBN
0793135931), by Allyson Lewis, CFP, published by Dearborn.
Everybody can relate to pizza and cars. Most people believe that investing is something they'll get to when they have more "disposable" money. The author disagrees and shows that the choices made today can make a big difference in how you live tomorrow. Does this mean that you should never buy a new car or a pizza? Absolutely not. It does mean that you need a plan that helps you focus on where you are today, where you need to be tomorrow, and how you will get there. Dearborn, a Kaplan Professional Company |

Paradigm Lost:
The Psychology Of Money And Investing (127 pages, $14.95 softcover,
2001, ISBN 0870341553), by F.J. Chu, published by Fraser Publishing.
The great American bull market of the last two decades has held forth an implicit promise to investors - the promise of a sort of financial paradise on earth. The degree to which our society has been inculcated with the promise of a new paradigm is evident from the extent personal investing has become a new national passion. The spell cast by Wall Street, and subsequently reflected off the images of the newly rich, has infiltrated virtually every strata of our culture. Using the combination of market savvy, psychological insight and philosophical reflection that is his trade mark, Chu takes the reader into the bizarre and terrifying heart of "the great game" - where the players concoct a strange brew of mathematics, market timing, and investor sentiment to outsmart the competition.

Profit From
Legal Insider Trading (207 pages, $18.95 softcover, 2000, ISBN 0793127238),
by Jonathan Moreland, published by Dearborn.
When directors and executives buy and sell shares of their own companies, they are considered to have insider trading knowledge. This kind of insider trading is perfectly legal and is done every day, and is publicly reported to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Internet has now made insider trading documentation available - and affordable - to any investor with an Internet connection. This book shows how to wade through the overwhelming volume of data, and how to take advantage of this great resource. The author discloses the best and least expensive sources of insider data, the difference between legal and illegal insider trading, and much more. Dearborn, a Kaplan Professional Company |
