I highly recommend William O'Neil's "How to Make Money in Stocks" [0]. There's a lot of chart study involved and high-level advice that's necessary for gaining a higher understanding of what drives the market.

While I agree that you won't ever beat the market by making smart trades, this book will teach you the discipline needed to keep from losing money or being lured into stocks and index funds by Wall Street bullshit.

read jack schwager's books, the better biographies on warren buffett (lowenstein's, also snowball effect), lowenstein's book on ltcm is also worth reviewing.

i highly recommend the origin of wealth -- an amazing book

mark douglas' books can be helpful,

how to make money in stocks by o'neil,

steenbarger's book

george soros' books

hank pruden's book

you want to learn what a trading plan is, and you want a trading plan that will work in irrational markets (since humans are not rational etc.), has some risk mgmtn (risk does not equal volatility), rules to buy and sell, etc.

hope this helps,
