Taipan Publishing Group's Editor's Picks for You
Hedgehogging by Barton Biggs
Editorial Recommendations: "Barton Biggs presents a 'behind the scenes' look at hedge fund operations and the games that these financial giants play. As an individual investor, it is important to understand how markets can be effected by these large traders. New investment approaches are being taken every day by these hedge funds, but many of the fundamental building blocks explained in this book remain the same."

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre
Editorial Recommendations: "This investment classic tells the story of legend trader Jesse Livermore who made and lost (and re-made) millions in the stock market in the early 1900's. The book is an entertaining read, but uncovers many important market dynamics which are just as true today as they were 100 years ago. "

When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management by Roger Lowenstein

Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions by Ben Mezrich
Editorial Recommendations: "While technically not an 'investing' book, this is an entertaining story of a 'trader team' of sorts that struck it rich. The principals of playing only when you have an edge, and betting big when the odds are stacked in your favor, translate nicely to a trading mentality."

Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Editorial Recommendations: "This book sharpens the intellect more than anything. If you complete the book and are not surprised, confused, or even offended by some of the studies, then you probably weren’t paying attention. But the mental exercise of thinking through situations from a non-traditional point of view can cultivate an intellect that will be more successful in investing and trading."
