Volumes may be low. Volatility may be down. Individual investors may be fleeing mutual funds that invest in U.S. stocks.

But trading in stocks for both individuals and investors is not going away. And professionals that know how to turn a buck for their clients will always be in demand.

2012, Duke University Press. In 1972 the entrance exam for Merrill Lynch’s broker-trainee program contained the following question: “When you meet a woman, what interests you most about her?” The correct answer: “her beauty.” An ethnography.

1990, Knopf. The first Fisher examination of the barriers faced by intelligent women on the brink of Wall Street power. Describes how women such as Elaine Garzarelli of Shearson Lehman Hutton; Susan Byrne, founder of Westwood Management; and Brenda Landry of Morgan Stanley.

2012, Penguin. You thought Thomas Peterffy of Interactive Brokers was just another smart guy running a trading technology arms supplier. Think again. His creation of robotic fingers unleashed computerized trading.

2011, W. W. Norton & Company. Financial disaster tourism. How Iceland, Greece, Italy, Germany and Ireland each in their own ways showed amazing ineptitude in dealing with the “free” money of the early 21st Century.

2011, W. W. Norton & Company. The credit crisis from the viewpoint of select souls who chose to bet against prevailing wisdom and short the mortgage market. Hint: They made bundles.

2010, W.W. Norton (Re-issue). The original tell-all tale of financial folly on Wall Street. Do you remember John Gutfreund? And can you say, instantly, what a BSD is?

2012, FT Press. Arnuk and Saluzzi go to great length to show how smart, sophisticated and automated traders are taking money out of the pockets of trusting or unsuspecting individual and institutional investors.

2012, Oxford University Press. From the days of Peter Stuyvesant through the Robber Barons to the apocalypse of 2008. Even the Obama Administration. How Wall Street produces both economic prosperity and destruction.

2001, Wiley. How a real trader achieved stunning wealth, long before algorithms and the golden mean ruled returns. Livermore cornered the cotton market and made a killing in the stock market crash of 1907, amassing more than $3 million in one day.

2006, Wiley. Sixteen men and women in different countries, follow different markets, using different methods, all share fundamental traits and a dedication to trading. And a pursuit of the adrenaline rush of succeeding in a complex mixture of foresight, hindsight, knowledge of how to make transactions happen and fortune. And that fortune comes in more forms than money.

1999, Harper Business. A “look into the mind and process of an extremely disciplined trader who is still putting up crushing numbers to this day,’’ as one reviewer puts it. How to get in and out of positions in a hurry and profit at it, almost instantaneously.

2010, Wiley. How prop traders make money solely by betting their own money. The discipline and the playbook.
