A very beginner look at technical analysis. It covers the basic concepts behind TA, has some simple charts, and some quick quizzes to check your understanding. It's a quick read with textbook-only examples that you'll rarely see in the real world, but still a good basic learning instrument for anyone wanting to understand the markets better.

[Crista Huff]

This is a good book entry-level book on the topic of technical analysis, the study of stock price charts. Frankly, an investor can dramatically improve their stock market success using the information in this book, and never study the topic any further. Caveat: the book does not remotely discuss fundamental analysis, the study of a company's balance sheet/financial data and stock valuation. I would not personally ignore fundamental analysis in the stock selection process, although the author certainly seems to be a proponent of that idea.
