What, like SPAM?

I must tell you about Schwager's "Fundamental Analysis on Futures".

I had it sent out by mail order in mistake for his TA book.

It is in mint condition. If I knew your address, I'd give it to you for the postage.

I'm not saying that it is no good. On the contrary. His TA book is frequently consulted but, Phew! You have to be keen!

Yeah..that is interesting. There is not many books on fundamentals on forex..I wonder why.

Because most people don't understand the fundamentals and lack the patients and intelligence required to master the art of comprehending anything. Case of micro chip revolution where instant knowledge and digital gratification is an essential ingredient and anything that takes longer than 7 seconds is forgotten as people move on.

I look at peoples faces and they all look like dorks to me.

Rather than reading a book I'd recommend the Investors Chronicle and the Economist. Read these publications with a view to digesting the subject material. Don't just read.


Having said that fundamental analysis is pretty useless if you want to trade the markets. Technical analysis is far superior imo.

FA is only good if you want to trade company shares, read balance sheets and look at company earnings with market stats etc.


Finally, there is no such thing as best as there is no one FA. Life is not like the Matrix and I suspect you aren't exactly the one looking for the holy grail... There are 00s of FA. More a case of what will do. Suits you sir...


Just incase I'm wrong I'd be grateful if you let me know when you do find it...

the chronicle and the economist? and here was me thinking you get all your theory from the telegraph on your way to work. how wrong i was.

Learn economic indicators and then trade against the market expectations for these.

Also, read the macroeconomic views of other investors to get an idea of the current outlook.

It depends what markets and timeframe you want to trade too.
