What are you presently reading?

I'm going to be very suspicious, particularly when someone advertises as a day-trader, then tries to use the title of a famous trading book within their own book title. And I will be especially suspicious if there are no brokerage trading statements.

That said, for the price of a dollar, I'll give it a look through just out of interest. Though it will have to wait a while as I get many other things out of the way first... For now, I ordered on Amazon already.

It's not even a Dollar now, it's free! Think that shows my intentions. Would love any feedback from anyone who reads

Oh, fine. This, after I paid a dollar!

If you think it's garbage, I'll refund your dollar

I will give your book a look in the next few days and let you know what I think.

Started reading last night. Sounds like an exiting life. Will get back to you when I finish with comments and questions.

Darvas is a lot of fun. Proves one can dance through life in remote places and still make bank.

It's worthy of much more than a brief perusal. It's a great catalog.

Sunday is here. Not sure what my book list will be for next week, but here's the final for this week:

THE DEATH OF MONEY
The coming Collapse of the International Monetary System
By James Rickards

Those who used to poo-poo on these books sure are singing a different tune now adays, aren't they? Seems everyone wanted to think that stupid levels of quantitative easing was a simple solution, regardless of how big the asset bubbles were getting. This book was pretty good, touched on a lot of things, and can be a very scary book to read for those who are in denial.​

The most interesting part of this book was the early discussion of market surveillance, detecting terrorist threats and insider trading. Think about what happen if you applied an analysis program like he discusses to something like the Bitcoin network.

I find the stuff about a BRICS currency to be covered in a naive manner. I find people in the US from a rather liberal educational system tend to be trained to think the US is responsible for everyone else's problems and if we just got out of the way they'd all sing and hold hands and get along just fine. He doesn't really discuss the ongoing border disputes, the previous invasions of each others territory, etc.
Telling a decent story about how a group of countries, including paranoid dictatorships, are all going to get together and trust each other needs a bit more serious thinking than he put together. I think it would be possible to tell an interesting story on that front, but you need a serious proposal on how everyone is going to be able to trust and verify each other's actions.
