New Trader, Rich Trader: How to Make Money in the Stock Market
I love the structure of this book: Steve Burns points out huge differences between winners and losers in every area of the market. Each chapter takes up a pair of opposites, such as "New Traders try to prove they are right; Rich traders admit when they are wrong." Dozens of such pairs offer a psychological mirror to serious readers. -Alexander Elder www.elder.com
Here is a work that puts the reader in the mind of a fledging trader who makes all the mistakes then learns from them. Told in an instructive and entertaining narrative, the author takes the reader through the trading concepts with a clarity and ease of understanding. A must read for beginning and intermediate level traders.
-Dr. Chris Kacher, co-founder of www.SelfishInvesting.com and co-author of "How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market"
You have done a truly tremendous job with this book! A breezy read with essential trading advice. I think this book could become a trading classic! So many great rules are offered in this book, but I think my favorite might be Chapter 8's. It is SO true! Just printing out the title of each chapter and putting it on your desk would greatly benefit every trader I know. Steve, you've done a great job!
-"Darrin Donnelly, DarvasTrader.com".
Steve Burns has done a superb job with his new book "New Trader, Rich Trader"! This is a must read for all levels of traders. Golden nuggets include important concepts like "I always put capital preservation before capital appreciation." Steve tackles psychology, risk control, and what it takes to succeed in this business where so many fail. As Steve says "most new traders learn the hard way by losing money...", don't be one of them, do yourself a favor and buy this book, because not only is it a great investment, but the concepts in this book will save you plenty!
-Bennett McDowell, Founder, TradersCoach.com® Author: "A Trader's Money Management System: How to Ensure Profit and Avoid the Risk of Ruin"
Steve Burns describes three of the most critical aspects of trading with a "dialogue-style' book between a novice trader and an experienced successful trader. Psychology - making sure your mindset is correct and in the game with a solid, realistic, and objective plan. Risk Management - the key to it all and ones ability to understand and manage all aspects of risk control. Methodology - making sure you fit a trading plan to your own unique style while understanding what prior successful traders did as well. The teacher/student lessons discussed should be of value to all traders.
-John Boik, author of "How Legendary Traders Made Millions" and "Monster Stocks"
Steve has crafted an easy-to-read tutorial on avoiding the most common mistakes made by new traders. Save yourself years of heartache and buy this book and do your homework. New Trader, Rich Trader should be mandatory reading for the novice investor.
-Kenneth Lee, author of "Trouncing the Dow"

The After-Hours Trader: How to Make Money 24 Hours a Day Trading Stocks at Night
The discounted price of this book reflects its content. For $15 it is worth the read but not much more.
One problem this book has is that it repeats information across chapters. If this repetition was removed, the size probably would be reduced by 50 pages, if not more. A sizeable amount of historical information takes up many pages. Some of it is interesting, and some of it isn't. You will have to decide for yourself. My feeling is that the author should have replaced a portion of it with screen captures related to other things, rather than write a lot of filler.
A second problem is that much of the information is dated. All authors of trading and investing encounter this same problem. The book was written when a year ago there was a raging bull market. Since the market correction (really, a crash) earlier this year, volume has declined during regular hours and after hours. This lack of liquidity in the current bear market makes it more difficult to trade after hours.
Lastly, as an actual trader, I can tell you that no beginner should be trying to trade in the after hours market. It is ironic that many newcomers want to trade after hours because of their full time job commitment.
Would I recommend this book? Yes, but with reservations. I believe anyone who intends to be successful at trading should read as much as possible. New traders should buy it, be entertained, and learn a few new things about this specialized area of trading.

The Millionaire's Handbook
We all know that money is power. The wealthiest few get invited to glitzier parties, live in swankier homes, obtain more lucrative deals, and attract rosier prospects than the rest of us. But why should life’s best perks accrue only to those able to afford them? In a world where social standing is determined primarily by perception, The Millionaire’s Handbook will show you what it takes to mingle with millionaires and party with plutocrats. Vicky Oliver will give you the brazen confidence that you need to dress the part on a pauper’s allowance, nosh on the right finger sandwiches without splattering any cucumber juice, hobnob with the world’s most influential people, and navigate your way through their cloistered bubble with aplomb. Complete with interactive exercises and fun sidebars.

I'm one of those people addicted to British mysteries, both on TV and in print. I enjoy the older TV crop, Rumple of the Bailey, Miss Marple, Poirot Frost, etc, but I do enjoy some of the new TV productions that the British offer too. As far as books, I am also of the old school, Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Poirot, Tommy and Tuppence, etc. Of course, all the authors I like have passed on, and while I do re-read their books over and over, I miss new mysteries of the old school. I say that because if any of you feel as I do, I can offer you a wonderful solution that I surprised and delighted me, and that is the works of Anna Katherine Green. I know there are lots of better informed reviewers on Amazon, so please forgive me if I am preaching to the choir, but I had never heard of Green before, let alone that she was the inspiration of Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Mary Roberts Rinehart, etc. I just had never heard of her, (some American TV producer should read her books and make a US mystery series in the British manner since we have exhausted Christie, Doyle, and Rinehart!), but I digress.
Here is really what I wanted to say, if you love Agatha, and the rest, and miss new mysteries, and are tired re-reading from your existing library, (because you know `whodunit'), than here is a wonderful surprise, you can read the works of Anna Katherine Green! Short and sweet, she `wrote the book' on these types of `locked door' mysteries, or they type favored by you and I. She was American, but the method, the situations, the characters and motives are all as good as the British authors she inspired. However, please don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-American, I'm an American, but its the style that Green started in the US, and picked up by the British, that I love so much. I think you know what I mean.
Drink from the well that was the source, and enjoy some fresh mysteries! It's nice for a change NOT knowing whodunit!

The Education of Millionaires: It's Not What You Think and It's Not Too Late (Portfolio)
"Success in the twenty-first century depends on street smarts, not book smarts. It has to do with your motivation, network, passion, and ability to make other believe in you. You''ll learn stuff in college, but you won''t develop these skills-which are requisite for success in life. Whether you go to college or not, The Education of Millionaires will help you learn what it takes to succeed in today''s entrepreneurial economy."
(-Dale J. Stephens, founder of Uncollege.org )
"Michael Ellsberg''s book is provocative and wise. Tuition is skyrocketing, job prospects are grim, and the race for bogus credentials has turned into a runaway status competition for positional goods. The Education of Millionaires offers a renegade path for anyone who wants vital skills without the crushing burden of student debt."
(-Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, creator of the Thiel Fellowship )
"Your success in a knowledge society depends on mastery of soft skills and practical intelligence-and yet they don''t show up in college or high school curriculums. Ellsberg''s rebellious book provides a street-smart education to fill the gap."
(-Keith Ferrazzi, author of #1 NY Times bestseller Who's Got Your Back )
"As Michael so aptly explains in this delightful read: your education starts in the crib and ends when you take your final breath. In a fully realized life, it is all about lifelong learning."
(-Lynda Resnick, vice chairman of Roll International, Teleflora, and PomWonderful )
"Self-education is the key to upgrading your mind and your life. Michael''s book teaches you how to unlock the education available outside of classes, all around you."
(-Matt Mullenweg, creator of WordPress.org )
"This book is a masterpiece. Gripping and whip-smart, The Education of Millionaires will forever revolutionize your thoughts on the connection between education, career success and prosperity. Ellsberg is careful to avoid ''motivational fluff'' and instead provides mind-blowingly sharp (and humorous) brass-tacks advice on how to profit handsomely by becoming a lifelong learner."
(-Jenny Blake, author of Life After College )
"If entrepreneurs were running schools, instead of bureaucrats, schools would be teaching a lot more of the skills and mindsets found in this book. Since they''re not, this book is a necessary antidote to a traditional college education."
(-Scott Banister, founder of IronPort Systems, Banister Capital )
"This is the must read of the next era of education. This one book could be all the education you ever need to massively outperform even the Ivy League. The secrets contained are brilliant and simple to adopt."
(-Cameron Herold, author of Double Double, former COO of 1-800-GOT- JUNK? )
"Just like the entrepreneurs he highlights in his book, Ellsberg challenges the conventional wisdom of what it takes to make it in this world. If you have an idea and the drive, nothing can stop you. And Ellsberg proves it."
(-Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why )
"You don''t need a degree to live life on your own terms: you need economically valuable skills. Ellsberg''s book is the blueprint for entrepreneurial education."
(-Josh Kaufman, author of The Personal MBA )
"Provocative and timely, Ellsberg lays bare what he sees as a giant hole in much of traditional education-a focus on ''academic'' knowledge and a de-emphasis on the knowledge and skills necessary to actually succeed in life. Drawing from a wealth of interviews with successful entrepreneurs, he hones in on seven key success skills that help put you back in the driver''s seat."
(-Jonathan Fields, author of Uncertainty )
"Ignore the stats, break the rules, devote yourself to something meaningful. You won''t get that in an MBA program. But you''ll get it from Ellsberg and his self-educated millionaires-and plenty of proof that true and sustained success can only be defined on your own terms."
(-Danielle LaPorte, author of The Fire Starter Sessions )
Product Description
Many hugely successful people never finished college-what did they figure out that others didn't?
Everyone knows that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to start the companies that would make them billionaires and change the world. But there are plenty of others who figured out a path to real success without finishing college.
Michael Ellsberg interviewed a wide array of self- educated successes, from self-made billionaire John Paul DeJoria, who took himself from homelessness to vast wealth in hair care, to Felix Dennis, founder of Maxim, which revolutionized magazines, to Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress, which revolutionized the Web.
Ellsberg draws on these entrepreneurs for their most powerful insights and highlights the key principles they rely on for educating themselves and achieving success in the real world. He shows you:
• The mind-set separating self-made entrepreneurs from cubicle- jockeys and middle-managers
• How to design a career that earns you money while connecting with your deepest passion
• The secret to connecting with high-powered, influential mentors.

Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School
The incredible story of how a schoolteacher built a million-dollar portfolio, and how you can too Most people wouldn't expect a schoolteacher to amass a million-dollar investment account. But Andrew Hallam did so, long before the typical retirement age. And now, with Millionaire Teacher, he wants to show you how to follow in his footsteps. With lively humor and the simple clarity you'd expect from a gifted educator, Hallam demonstrates how average people can build wealth in the stock market by shunning the investment products peddled by most financial advisors and avoiding the get-rich-quicker products concocted by an ever widening, self-serving industry.
Using low cost index funds, coupled with a philosophy in line with the one that made Warren Buffett a multi-billionaire, Hallam guides readers to understand how the stock and bond markets really work, arming you with a psychological advantage when markets fall.
Shows why young investors should hope for stock market crashes if they want to get rich
Explains how you can spend just 60 minutes a year on your investments, never open a financial paper, avoid investment news, and still leave most professional investors in the dust
Promotes a unique new investment methodology that combines low cost index funds and a Warren Buffett-esque investment philosophy
Millionaire Teacher explains how anyone can learn the ABCs of personal finance and strengthen their financial position.

FREE download: The Millionaire Baby
I'm so happy to see some of the great works of Anna Katherine Green; she has become one of my favorite writers, after I ran out of Christie's books to read. I found out that Agatha Christie, got into writing after reading Greens' books, who was a bestselling author who publishing about 40 books. I read she was first poet and later became a novelist to get attention to her poetry, however, she was so successful at mystery plotting, (she was an expert at the gradual unfolding of the mystery through the successful unearthing of clue after clue), that she dove right into mystery writing only.
She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing legally accurate stories, something like Law and Order in the way that the stories are accurate and sometimes based on actual cases. Her many fans besides me, include such literary luminaries as Arthur Conan Doyle, Wilkie Collins, Mary Roberts Rinehart, and Agatha Christie. In fact, not just Christie, but Rinehart wrote that it was the novels of Anna Katharine Green which first inspired her to become writers of mystery fiction to.
Just got started in this book, and already enjoying it, the detective in the story is a odd ball guy who needs money, and seems like the kind that you found in Humphrey Bogart movie. The baby is kidnapped, and ransom is demanded. It has really started well....I can't get enough Green!

What’s the secret to becoming a millionaire?
For years people have asked David Bach, the national bestselling author of Smart Women Finish Rich, Smart Couples Finish Rich, and The Finish Rich Workbook, what’s the real secret to getting rich? What’s the one thing I need to do?
Now, in The Automatic Millionaire, David Bach is sharing that secret.
The Automatic Millionaire starts with the powerful story of an average American
couple--he’s a low-level manager, she’s a beautician--whose joint income never exceeds $55,000 a year, yet who somehow manage to own two homes debt-free, put two kids through college, and retire at 55 with more than $1 million in savings. Through their story you’ll learn the surprising fact that you cannot get rich with a budget! You have to have a plan to pay yourself first that is totally automatic, a plan that will automatically secure your future and pay for your present.
What makes The Automatic Millionaire unique:
You don’t need a budget
You don’t need willpower
You don’t need to make a lot of money
You don’t need to be that interested in money
You can set up the plan in an hour
David Bach gives you a totally realistic system, based on timeless principles, with everything you need to know, including phone numbers and websites, so you can put the secret to becoming an Automatic Millionaire in place from the comfort of your own home.
This one little book has the power to secure your financial future. Do it once--the rest is automatic!

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind reveals the missing link between wanting success and achieving it!
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?
The shocking answer is: None of the above!
In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: "Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!" Eker does this by identifying your "money and success blueprint." We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiations, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money—and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success.
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is two books in one. Part I explains how your money blueprint works. Through Eker's rare combination of street smarts, humor, and heart, you will learn how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny. You will also learn how to identify your own money blueprint and "revise" it to not only create success but, more important, to keep and continually grow it.
In Part II you will be introduced to seventeen "Wealth Files," which describe exactly how rich people think and act differently than most poor and middle-class people. Each Wealth File includes action steps for you to practice in the real world in order to dramatically increase your income and accumulate wealth.
If you are not doing as well financially as you would like, you will have to change your money blueprint. Unfortunately your current money blueprint will tend to stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify and revise it, and that's exactly what you will do with the help of this extraordinary book. According to T. Harv Eker, it's simple. If you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you'll get rich too!

Mail-Order Millionaire
Miranda Morrison has handled her share of irate customers at the Vermont mail-order company, but Maxwell Randolph Carter with his southern accent and his tough-guy attitude topped them all. Was it her fault the wealthy weatherman was stuck at his remote mountain top station in three feet of snow without the boots he'd ordered? Still, the customer was always right...So off she went in the snow mobile to deliver those damned boots.
Max was shocked to see the lovely but half-frozen Miranda arrive at his outpost with the merchandise. It wasn't every day that a beautiful delivery woman drops by the observatory. He predicted fog which meant she had to stay overnight, but he never predicted that lightning would strike him when he saw her.

The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime
Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing, soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a lil something like this:
"Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks mocha lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich."
The mainstream financial gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life. Accept the Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan?
Drive the Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less" and a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there.
Why jobs, 401(k)s, mutual funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young.
Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor.
The real law of wealth: Leverage this and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you.
The leading cause of poorness: Change this and you change everything.
How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match.
Why the guru's grand deity - compound interest - is an impotent wealth accelerator.
Why the guru myth of "do what you love" will most likely keep you poor, not rich.
And 250+ more poverty busting distinctions...
Demand the Fastlane, an alternative road-to-wealth; one that actually ignites dreams and creates millionaires young, not old. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and find out how to live rich for a lifetime.

The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy (Millionaire Set)
How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling.

Raising Angel Finance: Securing private equity funding for early stage firms
The Kindle book Raising Angel Finance (140 pages) assists entrepreneur’s with high growth ventures to capitalise on their potential.
However, Angel Investors and VC Funds have their own methods of working and their own specific objectives. Unless the entrepreneur can present the venture investment proposal in their terms and in a form which meets the investor’s objectives, the funding request will be unsuccessful.
This book sets out how Angel and VC funding processes work, the criteria used to select investments and the processes used to manage those investee firms through to a harvesting event for the investors. This book assists the entrepreneur to prepare their business so that it is a compelling investment opportunity.
Angel and Venture Capital finance has been successfully used by numerous entrepreneurs to develop their ventures and, as a result, create significant wealth for themselves
However, the sector is poorly understood by entrepreneurs and business advisors. What they fail to fully appreciate is that the objectives of the Angel investors and VC funds are rarely the same as the entrepreneur seeking private equity finance. It is only when the entrepreneur understands that he or she has to tailor the venture to meet the requirements of the investor and not the other way around that the parties have a real chance of working together.
Private Equity and Venture Capital firms are in the business of generating a high rate of return for their investors, not in creating or building businesses.
The objective of this book is to show the entrepreneur how they can create a business which assists the Angel Investor to achieve their objectives. In doing so, there is a high probability of raising finance.
Angel finance is not for everyone no matter how profitable the venture might be. These investors are not in the business of solving an entrepreneur's need for funding albeit that may be the outcome. They are simply there to achieve a high rate of return for themselves. The entrepreneur who understands this and builds a proposal to meet that objective, should be much more successful in gaining venture finance.
The book has 11 chapters:
1. A wealth creation partnership
2. Sources of Private Equity
3. Angel Investors
4. Strategic vs. Financial investments
5. A compelling investment opportunity
6. Exit strategies
7. Valuation
8. Preparing for the investment
9. The Investor Pitch
10. Finalising the investment
11. Conclusion

How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any
Unlike many personal finance books, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any was specifically written for Americans of all income levels who struggle to make it on a monthly basis. It provides both a respectful, no-nonsense look at the difficult realities of life after the Great Recession and a hope-filled, easy to follow path toward better financial stability for even the most financially strapped households. Created by a financial expert who hasn't struck it rich, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any offers a first hand story of financial survival in the face of rough times. Rather than emphasizing wealth creation, How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any teaches readers to do the best they can with their income no matter its size. Content rich, personal, and jargon free, the book is opinionated and at times humorous. Full of current everyday references, it is meant to be a quick read which will appeal to the average reader just struggling to make ends meet.

The Wall Street Money Machine (70% off)
* the role of hedge fund Magnetar, which worked in concert with the banks to create high-risk CDOs which it then bet against
* how the banks artificially increased demand for CDO's by co-opting CDO manager and forcing them to buy these derivatives under threat of losing future business
Toward the nadir of US housing prices, Chicago-based hedge fund Magnetar came up with a novel concept: work directly with the big banks to create mortgage-backed securities comprised of mortgages most likely to default. The banks (Merrill, Citi, Goldman, etc.) then promoted these CDOs to their clients, while Magnetar took out short positions on them. This recalls to mind Goldman's now-infamous ABACUS fund, which the bank internally bet against while simultaneously promoting to its clients. Before long, Magnetar alone accounted for a large percentage of the CDO market.
At the same time, banks were beginning to realize that investor demand for its mortgage-based securities was beginning to flag. Rather than wind-down its reliance upon these toxic assets, they opted for a different approach: co-opt the supposedly independent fund managers and force them to purchase newly-issued CDO under threat. Rather than assert their independence, most fund managers complied with the banks' demands rather than put their lucrative fee streams in jeopardy. Indeed, the banks often made life easier by approaching potential future managers with propositions to set them up for the sole purpose of buying their toxic assets, thereby artificially stimulating demand. In several cases, the banks even went as far as creating new departments within their organizations charged with buying each new mortgage-backed security in return for a split on fee revenue.
The banks also relied heavily upon so-called CDO squared: creating a new CDO for the sole purpose of buying-up the most toxic elements of already-existing CDO's. In a moment of pure financial alchemy, the ratings agencies which had previously given these high-risk mortgage bonds lower ratings re-rated them at triple-A levels when they re-appeared in a new CDO. This cross-purchasing between CDO's also helped create the illusion of demand, and drove correlations within mortgage-backed securities to 1. The time-bomb had been set.
The net effect of this was to artificially prop-up prices due to the apparent continued demand for CDO's. This allowed the banks to extend their revenue streams for much longer than would have been the case had normal supply-demand curves dictated pricing. As a result, the worst offenders (Merrill) imploded the moment housing prices began to grow less quickly-- to say nothing of housing prices actually falling.
The piece makes for a quick read, but is necessarily limited in scope to the two areas above. For a reader already familiar with the causes of the 2008 crash, it makes for an enjoyable examination of two less-covered aspects of the disaster.
