Essential Books for growth and momentum traders


There was a question about which books I recommend . You will rarely get a complete setup in any book. Even if you get it, you may not appreciate it because you have not gone through the discovery process and rejection of several setups before the author found what works for him. There is lot of learnings in rejected setups.

hi, if I would have bought all the momentum stocks you recommended on the 4th of May, I would have lost 7.3% by now. Any comment on that?

Thanks
