    best books to learn Stock Market - (sorry, should have put this title in other thread

    I have isolated so far:

    "One up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch
    "The intelligent investor" by Benjamin Graham
    "Stock market for dummies"

    any other ones you recommend as must-reads?

    I just opened up Jim Cramer's book, "Sane Investing in an Insane world". am only 20 pgs in but so far it's good

    Coach, what if trading is impossible due to my day job that takes all my hours that the market is open. what is the next best way that does not involve trading?

    Don't trade. You won't win long term, get crushed by the big boys, just like sports betting but even worse. Buy ETFs and index funds with low expenses, if you have long time horizon equity markets will treat you well without much effort
