Economic Theory and the Investor

[kvhutch]

Hi. New user and first post.
Recently I've finished reading Vic Sperandeo's first book - 'Methods of a Wall St. Master'. Although an excellent read I have to confess to getting almost totally lost on the sections detailing the 'Basics of Economics' and the 'Business Cycle Booms and Busts' (highlighting the policies of the Federal Reserve System). As you can guess I'm mainly interested in the US markets. I agree I many not need to major in ecomonic theory but I would still like to get a basic understanding from an investors viewpoint. Can anyone suggest any books, online resources or the like that deals with this complex subject?

Cheers

Hutch

kvhutch - are you a beginner investor or an advanced invester. If you're a beginner I would recommend to read Alvin Hall's books (there pretty detailed in economics) - or try these sites out:
