Stock Selection and Risk Management
The gist of the recent AAII presentation from Schwab. Their tools for power traders are expensive for small (low 4 figures or less) players, but worth looking into for everyone else.

Great take on the markets. They like IBD. They don't have a recommended account size, but a 4 figure account would probably be the minimum.

The Event-Trading Phenomenon Peter McKenna
From TradeWins publishing. Specific events move the markets. Events happening
