1. Beyond Greed and Fear: Finance and the Psychology of Investing (Hardcover)
There are only a few stock market books that can and will stand the test of time…this pretty undiscovered book is one of them as after you read it you literally do not know how you ever did without it. The feelings and psychology that traders mistakenly believe are unique to themselves are explained and explored. You are not alone and you can learn from the experiences of thousands of others who have gone through and are thinking exactly what you’re thinking. Too many examples to name, just trust my word…go to the friggin library and demand they get this in stock if its too expensive for you to buy
This could be the most entertaining finance/business book ever written…now its supposed to be based on a true story, but who cares what exactly is true and what is not. While teaching readers the kind of trading strategies hedge funds use (and the trade at the end if a whopper of a lesson), we also learn about how crazy it is for Americans to live and do business in Japan….absolute great and entertaining book, I literally couldn’t put it down and it only took me a day or two to finish
3. This Blog!
I may be biased because it is my blog, but while I lie where I am going with this, I don’t like a.) how slow the site is (c’mon dude, you pull in $100k/month, upgrade servers already! (Owner Response: Servers have nothing to do with it, it was the old WordPress MU that was the problem, new site just launched yesterday, still working out bugs) b.) how much Timothy markets himself and his instructional DVD packages and c.) how little actual education the site has (Owner response: My blog is just a taste, of course it’s not gonna have much useful information on it, financial sites with free info uniformly suck…look at Sucking Alpha!
No, all the good stuff is in over 60 hours worth of DVD packages sold in my onlime store) OK, OK, I am the #1 trader out of 40,000+ on Covestor, I’m willing to teach others every single thing I know with my DVDs and private coaching and no other financial commentator shares all their trades and track record (why????), but do people really need to hear this every day? (Owner response: yes, people, especially finance people are slow and dumb like Forrest Gump, it helps to repeat things over and over and over and studies show people only buy products after the 5th or even 7th time they hear about them)
Overall, my blog is just a marketing site with a few interesting articles here and there which get overwhelmed by daily testimonials and my attitude is a bit too racy for most beginners. C’mon dude get over yourself/myself! (Owner Response: If you dealt with as many financial retards as do every day, you’d have attitude too…and I also dont want to come off as fake/professional, then I’d be just as bad as everyone else in finance and that would suck! (I’d probly start hiding behind disclaimers and not be willing to use my real name on message boards and my track record would absolutely suck 
Long story short, I can say whatever I want and market as much as I see fit because I’m not a financial professional, I’m just a real guy with a really great strategy and a real track record and customer testimonials by the thousands to back up all my claims. People in finance spend their whole lives they had what I have and the key is brutal honesty and rubbing stuff in people’s faces when you know you’re right!
4. Zero Hedge
The current hottest finance blog doesn’t try to lure in readers by using curse words or laughable analogies like some past popular but already obsolete blogs, ZH’s popularity is due to brutal honesty, writers who are experienced in knowing how corrupt the financial markets are and most importantly, digging up facts and using sources that are actually pretty useful and interesting to read about. Too many great blog posts to talk about it in a little review, they update often and cover breaking news and hot topics better than everyone else, besting a similar Wall Street gossip blog Dealbreaker.com
I use IB to find shares to short on hard to borrow penny stocks (yes, my strategy is weird and its not scalable, but it is hugely profitable up to a point), but I have to say IB has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If I ever have a paperwork or trade problem, forget about it, I know going into my phone call I’m going to have to wait an eternity and even when I do talk to someone, that person will have attitude like no other and usually their incredibly entangled back office will screw me over. I don’t give them terrible marks because I have profited form their solid executions and short borrows.
But unlike my preferred broker (and affiliate) Thinkorswim, I cannot even reserve shares to short of hot stocks as it’s first come first serve and that screws up many of my trades. I would only recommend IB for advanced traders as I can’t imagine any beginning trader being understanding of their many flaws. They probly don’t even care about beginner traders though as I’ve reached out to them multiple times to setup an affiliate relationship (as I’ve said I have profited with them which makes them better than most of the thieves I mean brokers out there), but they haven’t even returned my phone calls or emails regarding a potential partnership!
Cocky, snobby, indifferent like a boring british aristocrat with bad teeth whose food tastes horrible, that’s what IB reminds me of… (this review will probly hurt my chances of ever having a relationship with IB, but it’s the truth so people need to hear it and maybe, just maybe IB will take the reviews on this site to heart and actually improve their customer service, as their main executions and tools are great so there’s hope for them yet) (after all, British people love going to the dentist to fix their messed up teeth! Just suck it up IB, thousands of us are tired of your crap)
