Before the Bell Rings: we shall see a forward momentum today. I would be in the buy for the first segment of the market. Would sell if needed, otherwise hold it to see how the week fares. Good news on the techie side of stuff. For newbies, I would suggest One Up On Wall St by Peter Lynch. Although the book is rather old ( from 89'), it gives you an idea about how to look at the Market from what you already know. Then you can move on with other studies. Also, the book is simple and lucid. Esp if you do not come from financial background. Good Luck to the traders! Best~! -B
