Which are the best books on trading & investment?

This looks like a beginner question, so I'll say...

Depends.

Stock market studies usually focus on one of two areas; Fundamental or Technical.

The fundamental trader wants to know all about the company: Who is the CEO? What does the history of company earnings look like? How does the company compare with others in the same or similar business? They often read and study the company's annual reports.

The technician usually doesn't care much about the company details. If the stock price is going up, they should be a buyer. If the stock price is going down, they should be a seller.

A small portion of investors believe they should know both disciplines.

If you don't know which of the above are most appealing to you, ask about good books on general markets that include both fundamental and technical trading philosophies and techniques.

Or ask about good fundamental books.

Or ask about good technical trading books.

I have about 800 texts. About 80% are technical, 20% are fundamentally inclined, so I wouldn't know what to suggest without more information from you.
