Energy Trading & Investing by Edwards

It gives you an overview of all of the markets. It takes each market one by one and talks about the physical flow and then delves into the financial markets.

Oil 101 by Morgan Downey is a pretty comprehensive overview of the Oil market, but this goes pretty in-depth into Oil, even discusses the chemistry. I guess depends on what you are looking for as far as a read.

 

energy trading and Investing by Edwards has a great deal of information on power although I don't know if it is better than Shively.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."

both are good at the hight level.. if you want to really dig in... PM me and I can give you a deeper list.. I am a power trader

Digging old posts. Read energy trading and investing as well as electricity markets: pricing, structures and economics by Chris Harris.

Any other suggestions ? I am quite familiar with electrical markets now so something technical would be great !

Thanks in advance.

 

i've read some of trading natural gas by sturm and understanding today's electricity business was a textbook for a power trading class i had.

sturm was pretty cool, just didn't have time to finish it before some damn grad student had it called back...

understanding today's electricity business is just plain cool though. bought a copy of it for myself and its just an interesting read by itself. i picked up a book the other day, energy markets: price risk management and trading by tom james that doesn't seem too bad, although it is kind of broad and reads more like a history on trading and risk mgmt in the energy space, rather than a practical, desk manual type of guide.

i've also heard that VBA for modelers is good? can anyone second that?

so your selling energy markets: price risk management and trading by tom james ???? call me flat on the bid

 

I was wondering if anyone has any good recs on a book involving M&A in the energy industry. I know this is a trading group, but figured some of you might have a little background. I currently am looking at Bruner's "Applied Mergers & Acquisitions". It's a decent book for a generalist, but I've never found a good text on the subject that is energy specific. Thanks. etr
