 This review is a long time coming, but this is one of my favorite books of all time. It is not really a trading book. Trader Dave Caplan just bought the rights to Poker, Sex and Dying and renamed it. I don’t agree with that move, but I do agree with Dave’s point that [...]  This book is a classic philosophic tale by Robert Pirsig about a few friends and their motorcycle trip. It is very well reviewed on Amazon.com and it has gotten good reviews from the press. So I decided to download the audio version…of course. It is a story about Robert and his son Chris who [...]  Is trading an art or science? I would consider it a bit of both. On this premise, I think it is important to read books that are outside the realm of trading formulas and indicators to get a fresh perspective on my trading, especially when it comes to refining my trading style. There is [...]  I review the book 5 Bullets by Joe Trader. He is a professional forex trader and he only trades one pair. Check out this article to find out more. [...]  Who do you think has executed the greatest trade in history? George Soros when he bet against the British Pound? Not even close. Soros “only” made $1 billion on that trade. Until Paulson, that was considered the greatest trade ever. According to this book, The Greatest Trade Ever was done by Robert Paulson. If [...]  Why was he called "Geek?" This is not a trading book per se, but I did get the recommendation from Market Wizard Linda Radsche. Rogue Warrior is the autobiography of Richard Marcinko and how he created the elite Navy Seal Unit Seal Team Six and the counter terrorist unit called Red Cell. The [...]  What can you learn from one of America’s greatest energy men? Plenty. Pickens went from successful oil man to hedge fund manager and lost a couple of fortunes in the process. To find out more about what you can learn from him, check out this post. [...]  This is the much anticipated second book from author Tim Ferriss. If you don’t know, his previous book The 4-Hour Workweek is a bestseller and continues to be in the top 5 in three different Amazon.com categories at the time of the writing of this post. In a recent interview I listened to, Tim [...] In a recent post, I mentioned 5 blogs that I like and Ryan O’Keefe’s blog was one of them. He hasn’t blogged for awhile, but has started up again this month. If you don’t know anything about him, he is a professional trader and he just wrote a book on how he trades forex [...] Does this diagram describe your path in life?  From X Marks The Spot - by Lea Woodward While reading this book, this diagram was the one that really hit home for me. I find that many people believe that this is what life is all about and how it should be lived. Now I have no right to tell anyone how to live, but I wholeheartedly believe that people should seriously consider the alternatives. Every single step on this time line is questionable, in my opinion. Take “Go to a good university,” for example. I believe that going to college only prepares you to get a job. Of course there is nothing wrong with getting a job, everyone should have one at some point…to see how much it sucks! However, I believe that to be truly fulfilled, you need to create something that is yours. Something that not only provides a living, but something that you love to do. Then there is no such thing as retirement and you are enjoying life all the time! If you set your business up properly, you can possibly do it from anywhere in the world.
