New's is everywhere. Headlines regarding a massive drop in a companies value because the CEO decided to go with Starbucks rather than his usual Folgers coffee brand. It flows in constantly rattling your brain into submission, to disregard any and all aspects of reporting. 
An excellent example is that of the political climate we currently live in; everyone has a polarizing view of one thing or another, not because they were diligent about their research but only because they took the easy way out and began following someone else. Pathetic. Even more so you see people disregarding another's opinion because of their ego. These people are dangerous, however, put them into any of the financial markets and they instantly because poor. Why? Because they are always right. It's a brutal testament to how crippled people become by allowing their opinions to be swayed by their own ego.
My primary goal of introducing this to my kids is that it will teach them to lose, and lose well. It will teach them to stick to a strategy, have a good P/L ratio, how to mitigate risk, learn to succeed, and most importantly, how to absolve ego. Many people, primarily the poorest fall into the trap of looking at the wealthy and getting angry, but the true way to succeed is to look at those who are winning and change to adapt. To become better, if you are stagnant you are worthless, you are not even remotely branded a loser because a loser is someone who hates to lose. If you hate to lose and you act upon it to become better you will become a winner, no two ways about it.
The first step is to become a loser to then become a winner, always believing that you are second best will allow you to far succeed your peers and this is important. Never ever ever become stagnant.
I intend to teach my kids this.

While its about taking an educated guess, Its still a heavy gamble if you're not rich and thats not to mention how corrupt the markets are (stay away from binary options!). Wealth can be built slowly up until retirement and thats if you're really good at trading but people that do it as a hobby are no different than gambling at the casino. Plus the harsh reality is that in order to get rich/get good returns on stocks is to have huge capital at stake like 6 figures.
Teach them risk analysis, they'll figure out the rest.

"You can learn everything i know just by reading books.

norsie sarcasm is the tool of the idiot. it was obvious i was refering to handling a stock portfolio.
up to u bitch
@CoffeeGirl456 did your momman teach you that language?
It wasn't sarcasm, I just took the time to respond to the question which books are best. If you wanted books for investment you should have specified.
You may want to get books on personal development in trader psychology beforehand.
well i don't know how many steps you want to include inbetween, but sure. let me here your exhaustive list. from newbie to warren buffet.
It's not my prerogative to teach you anything. Go out and learn.
i didn't ask you to teach me, just to provide me a books list to study for my self. but its obvious that 1) you have no fucking clue. and 2) you are unrelated with culture in general cause a cultivated person isn't secretive and selfish but humane and sharing.
I have no fucking clue because the entire premise of this my take is to force you to learn. I told you go out and learn. No book will fix your attitude, only you will. You are failing me and more importantly yourself right now. You want to talk more? PM me. otherwise you are blocked from commenting here.
