What are some good books that you would recommend to someone getting started with buying/selling stocks on their own? I have a business degree so I have a basic understanding of financial statements and financial ratios, but I'm not very confident in interrupting the data and investing on my own. How to determine if a stock is undervalued, overvalued, etc.

Any info is appreciated!

In my opinion, you're not a stock market investor unless you've read The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.



Read that one first. Then check out One Up on Wall Street or Beating the Street by Peter Lynch. Lynch's quick methodology of basic fundamental analysis as outlined in Ch. 13 (if my memory serves me correctly) of One Up on Wall Street is second to none, at least in terms of the basics. But as that book is a little outdated, you may prefer Beating the Street.





As for short-term trading, nothing beats Toni Turner.
