Books about oil trading
In this group I create a platform to advise eachother about good books related to the oil market. Many people being new in the business are looking for books, they want to learn and know how business works. Learn from pratise is maybe the biggest advise. But live becomes easier when we can get more background available to eachother. Tell what book you would advise and why. Let us know that author and give a link where to find information about the book. I hope this group will be able the generate a great "library" for the oil business.

Looking forward to more input to the trading library. I will post an updated list once in a while and add a book. This time I added The King of Oil, a very impressive story about Marc Rich. Which trader has not heard about him? Learn from history!
Another good book is Oil101
Oil101 is a great book about where oil is coming from and how it is traded, how does it work and how are prices set. Great learning. Author is Morgan Downey. Would fit very good together with my book where many definitions are explained as well.
So now we have:
1) The Oil Traders' Words at www.woenzel.com
2) Oil101 from Morgan Downey
Please add a book advise related to oil trading in this group.
