How to Think Like a Mad Man, Find your Edge & Risk Little for Lots / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Aftab_Singh

Investing Philosophy Recommended Reading / InvestorEducation / Resources & Reviews

Robert Ross, Casey Research : We at Casey Research are often asked, "What books have had the biggest impact on your investing philosophy?"

The books range from mainstays of the political economy, such as Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions, to classics from antiquity, including Plato's The Republic. However, genres often overlooked – like our founder Doug Casey's longtime interest in science fiction – should give current and prospective subscribers a glimpse into the diverse influences that drive our publications.

The price movements of financial markets are also patterned, and Elliott wave analysis gives you the tools to interpret those patterns.
The Fibonacci sequence is vital to Elliott wave analysis -- as a matter of fact, R.N. Elliott wrote that the Fibonacci sequence provides the mathematical basis of the Wave Principle. Once you understand the Fibonacci sequence, it's easy to apply it to the markets you trade.
