I have read many investment books - some good, some bad, some useful. Like you I was always searching for the ideal investment method that would work on a limited budget. I finally found it in How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market by Robert Lichello. I instantly realized this was the ideal system. I tried to think of ways to use the system. That led me to write this book because I felt my ideas could and should benefit as wide an audience as possible. Below are other investment books I recommend for many reasons - knowledge, wisdom, and enjoyment. You can find them all listed by categories on my Amazon Book Order page: Starting out I'd recommend a couple of books that explain quickly all investments - alias reference books:
- Successful Investing by the staff of United Business
Services

by Gary Klott
