For a handle on the NZ Market, I would suggest you start with “Making Money on the New Zealand Share Market” by Frank Newman & Phil Briggs, although I feel that the title may lack a question mark.

 

For an insight into the Australian market, I have found “How the Stock Market Really Works” by Martin Roth, quite useful.

 

If you are interested in trading, I would strongly recommend Alexander Elder’s “Trading for a Living” and the series of books by Daryl Guppy, starting with “Share Trading”. Guppy writes his books in a similar vein to Elder, but with an Australian emphasis. His website at http://www.nt-tech.com.au/guppy/index.html is worthwhile visiting.

 

 

Trust this helps.

SixpackYou may also wish to try a few classic investment texts (after you know a few of the basics) such as:

 

The Intelligent Investor (a Warren Buffett favourite) by Ben Graham

A Random Walk down Wall Street by...forgotten name, but great book anyway.

Beating the Street by Peter Lynch

One up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch

 

Also, recommend subscribing to www.fool.com

 

There is a wealth of fantastic information at the fool - excellent articles on basic principles of investing in shares.

Sixpack - from a beginner's point of view I think the best you could do is take the free stuff on the web.  When I first started I visited some of the US broker sites - not to register or trade but to get their free information.  Because they are so keen to attract the day-traders over there they provide heaps of "How To" info that's all free.  I pulled most of my stuff off E-trade (www.etrade.com?) - outlined all the abbreviations, all the stuff about reading spreads, puts and calls, short-selling , margin trading plus a review of all their markets from the Dow to the OTC pinks.  None of this is directly usable in NZ but I think you'll find it helps to understand how things go on- from there you will be able to work out "why" things go on.

Subject: [sharechat] Need to learn more

 

Can anyone tell me how I can learn more about the stockmarket.  I love reading the forums and checking out different sites but do not feel I'm getting the information I need.  Any information on seminars or any training or courses on trading.
