On stocks in general:
Stocks For the Long Run, it's a great book on finance in general (Jeremy Siegel), One Up On Wall Street (Peter Lynch)
The "bible" of stock books is The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. I believe Warren Buffett considers it to be the best book on stock investing. I don't think it is an easy read though (maybe that's why I never read it

).

Pleasure. All the books I mentioned are classics- staples in any serious investors library. One Up On Wall Street is a very easy read. I'd start there. Beating the Street also by Peter Lynch) is another classic.

Is there a specific you tube channel you recommend ? Or any kind of video ? Much easier for me then reading books. I can read one book, 5 will be difficult.

I'm sorry, I don't know. Why don't you google and/or browse around a bit on Youtube....? I am sure you'll find leads.

I deff did already. But it’s hard to know what’s good from a beginner standpoint. There are thousands of results on you tube.

What’s the best book to read on day trading ? Stocks in general ? Ty

If you want a good book on trading chose one by a REAL successful trader, not successful writers and marketers. I recommend books by one of the best traders ever, Victor Sperandeo, Trader Vic Methods of a Wall Street Master and all his other books Trader Vic II: Principles of Professional Speculation and Trader Vic on Commodities.. Also Market Wizards and the New Market Wizards.
Another one is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a 1923 roman à clef by American author Edwin Lefèvre which is the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Lauriston Livermore, considered the best trader in history. There are more books, but in my experience these are the best.

I see the market is having a sale on stocks.

Do you think the sale will be extended and they'll slash prices even more or now's the time to buy?

Jesse Livermore made and lost fortunes, at the end he suffered from depression and committed suicide with a bullet to the head, the book is full of wisdom and advise that is golden.
