Review:I had a Grandfather that worked at Bell Labs from the early 50's through the 80's. He does not talk much about his time there but with the little I did know of his career at the Labs I was intrigued being a IT professional myself. When I heard of this book I bought it right away and breezed through it in no time. The history of the Labs is the starting point of everything we have today from any electronic device we use to Cellular technology (cell phone networks) and military technology such ... Read more

Review:Totally opened up a world I was unfamiliar with. Amazing picture of the men behind the beginnings of film. The politics involved between competitors is similar to today's politics....the secrets, the lies, the scandal. And in the end, none of it matters. Read more

Review:As a biginner of stock trading, I found this book extremely helpful for day traders. It covers all the basics you need to you know. For instance, it discusses the fundamental analysis, techinical analysis and mental psychological issues (Chapter 14).
Meir stresses that "Discipline is the name of the game". I think as a novice trader, the first thing I need to learn is not trade for money but trade right and train myself to be self-disciplined.
This book can be very helpful to guide you and... Read more

Review:If today you came across this booklet on money management by pure coincidence, I bet (no pun intended) that you'll consider this your lucky day. And with good reason: the author does not "beat around the bush' but tells you exactly what the main drawbacks and risks are with traditional money management systems. He also demonstrates with a couple of simple but realistic stories how 'casino-minded' gunslingers who believe in a martingale-based approach end their adventures and he uses these cases ...

Review:I really liked the simplicity of the trade strategy Jim explained in the book. Also, I liked the fact that he gave directives to the platform and gave examples of his trading methods.
I got lost with the indicators. At that point in the book, the book went from simple to complicated when he talked about indicators.
There was an opportunity to explain a little more into the actual trading. That is explaining when you execute a trade exactly when happens... Example if I buy USD/EUR how you a... Read more

Review:Finally an admission from a liberal that there is bias in the media. From both conservative and liberal but more so on the liberal end. It really makes you think through what you are seeing reported on the news now days. I never trusted the way news is being reported before and now I understand why. Read more

Review:As someone who has attended a handful of Berkshire meetings and a regular reader of all things Berkshire I found this book a wonderful collection and synthesis of the main idea/s of each meeting since the early 90’s. The authors have focused on a topic rather than regurgitating endless notes so the book forms a very neat summary of each meeting without the need to search through all the repetitive questions that became a feature of the meetings over the past decade. I have recommended this book ... Read more
