I have been studying poker about 3 years. I think I am learning a lot by playing poker that better helps me understand investment concepts - mainly in the areas of probabilities vs risk and having the discipline to follow a strategy.
I don't actively trade stocks, but a lot of the skills seem to overlap. I read this book a while ago. It covers the topic of managing probabilities and sticking to a strategy, even to the point of randomly buying stocks and running winners hile cutting losses and still making money. I found it really interesting.
