    Bestbook I've read fortiming the market is"Stock Traders Almanac" by Yale & Jeffery Hirsch Published Yearly. Another good book that gives a lot of good insight into how the stock market works and what to watch out for is "Riding The Bear" by Sy Harding. Both books are available at reduced costs from Amazon.com. Wish I had read both these books in 1999 before "I" rode the bear to the bottom as all the other "buy and hold" books I read reccomended.

    I'm currently reading Origins of the Crash by Roger Lowenstein. It's an excellent discussion of the mythic New Economy, corporate greed, investor stupidity, the inability, or unwillingness, ofgovernment to enforce disclosure, and of market failure, i.e. the market is nota magic solution or a substitute for good government. Mr. Lowenstein's previous book, When Genius Failed, chronicled the rise and fall of Long-Term Capital Management. Both are informative and good reads!

    In addition, for those of you still interested in the Social Security debate, check out this comprehensive discussion/history by Mr. Lowenstein.
