Reading List January 28, 1997January 31, 2017 “Please tell me how to look for stocks (their trend and what to look for). I would appreciate a reply. Thanks. Mr. Nayeem Aziz” Nayeem, this is a question that only took you 21 words to ask but would take a book to answer. Suggestions: WHAT WORKS ON WALL STREET, by James O’Shaughnessy; Peter Lynch’s ONE UP ON WALL STREET or his more recent BEATING THE STREET; a subscription to INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY, with the free William O’Neil book and tape that often come with it; or even MY book, which will discourage you from looking for stocks at all and steer you toward low-expense no-load mutual funds.
