%% Good read -re read . \I'm re reading old WSJ candle charts with 200 day moving average. Looks like WSJ finally borrowed a 200dma from IBD
%% I did not get much @ all thru that book\ even though he found one good race to the bottom. Older IBD newspaper clipping about 4 great places to add to a Winner\ but that's an uptrend+ the chart has only 3 places added on a single stock\LOL
I had a lot of driving to do on Friday, so loaded up with some extra audiobooks in addition to my other reading this week: Socrates In 90 Minutes By Paul Strathern Quick and basic audiobook. St. Augustine In 90 Minutes By Paul Strathern Another quick and basic audiobook. financial statements DeMYSTiFieD A Self-Teaching Guide By Bonita Kramer & Christie Johnson ★★★ A good book. One which I may re-read again down the road sometime. Covers all basics from balance-sheets to cash-flows and ratios. Tricks on looking up suspicious books, etc. Good stuff. The Investment Answer By Gordon Murray This 2-hour audiobook wasn't too bad actually. Much better than most. Philosophy A Very Short Introduction By Edward Craig A pretty good 4-hour audiobook, which went into a lot of details on Socrates to Kant and Hegel. Very good stuff. The Birth of NETFLIX and the Amazing Life of an Idea That Will NEVER Work By Marc Randolph 'Co-Founder and first CEO of NetFlix' 9 hour long audiobook. As a holder of Netflix stock, I'm glad to have got more details into the very early stages of the company. There is a reminder in here to all CEOs with hubris, how Blockbuster could have bought NetFlix on the super cheap at the time, but decided to pass on the deal. Ouch... --- And just for laughs, I am reading a Cramer book currently:
I've still got that on my reserve list with the library. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of people ahead of me waiting on all the copies, lol. I'm still on chapter III in the Cramer book, it's ok so far. Also, I just started reading Bloomberg by Bloomberg tonight, so far it's interesting. Never paid much attention to him before, so didn't know he got his ass fired from Salomon for example.
I was so busy last week that I didn't even give an update...all that I really remember was finishing off Jacks on Tax. Unless you're filing your T1, then this is of no concern to you. I also finished Bloomberg by Bloomberg. It was ok, but I had no interest in the last few chapters of on and on talk about his philanthropy. The guy sounds like a politician. lol It was more-so interesting to read about the development of the Bloomberg terminal, and battles vs the Quotron boxes, etc. Surprise, Bloomberg won, Quotrons are history. lol I have so much craziness going on right now with the FTX bankruptcy and crashing crypto-markets, that it may take me a couple weeks before I finish off any of my other books, like the Cramer one on Getting Rich Slowly. Will try to post an update next week.
