Trading Mentors
A wise person seeks to learn from people who have already spent years of their lives figuring out a successful approach to trading. It takes lots of mistakes along the way and learning from these mistakes before success appears. But when it appears, its taste is far sweeter than the sourness of all the difficulties endured beforehand.
I owe every success from my trading to my mentors. From their books, videos, programs, and classes, they taught me about their mistakes and revelations about trading. And as traders, we never truly "arrive" at perfection in trading. There are always new things to learn, mistakes to be corrected, and perplexing wrinkles in the market that make us step back and exclaim, "Now, why did that happen?"
Trading is an adventure! So prepare for your journey by learning from some of the market wizards of our time.
William O'Neil
O'Neil is famous for trading based on trend-following, growth stocks, breakouts, rules, technical analysis, and the incorporation of fundamentals into stock selection. Many refer to O'Neil's book How to Make Money in Stocks as the "bible" of growth stock trading. His books The Successful Investor, How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short, and 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success are also popular among growth stock traders.
Mark Minervini
Mark is an extraordinarily gifted trader who appeared in Jack Schwager's famous book Market Wizards. His trading style dovetails with William O'Neil's strategy. In addition to detailed descriptions of his practical and reliable trading and investing strategies in Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard and Think and Trade Like a Champion, Mark emphasizes having a winning psychology throughout his books and focuses on it in Mindset Secrets for Winning. These are a must-read for every trader!

Peter Lynch
The legendary fund manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, Peter Lynch shows in his books how regular retail investors have quite an advantage over mutual-fund managers. His book One Up on Wall Street shares his process for locating "tenbaggers" (stocks that appreciate tenfold from the initial investment). His books Beating the Street and Learn to Earn follow up with more techniques to turn the everyday items that we buy, wear, eat, and drink and the places we frequently visit into potential stock wins. Did I mention that he also frequently beat the S&P 500?
Stan Weinstein
For years, I heard over and over that it's impossible to time the market, and I believed it. But after reading Stan's book Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets, the wool was pulled from my eyes! He may have only written one book, but it's a game-changer. Yes, you CAN time the market, and thanks to Stan, I've been doing it since 2021.

Nicolas Darvas
Darvas has a fascinating story that proves that you do NOT need instant information and 1-minute stock charts to make big money in the market. As a world-famous dancer who traveled to some very remote locations on his global tours, Darvas rarely had access to current newspapers to check stock prices. Frequently he had to make special arrangements to have older editions of newspapers forwarded to his next hotel stop on his tours. And instead of putting in orders to his broker by phone, many times he had to use telegrams to send his buy and sell orders. So how in the world did Darvas make millions in the stock market? You just gotta get How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market and read his incredible, inspirational story enriched with practical advice for all traders!
