    If you're a long pull swing trader, you are making a mistake avoiding Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.

  4. Was looking at new releases on Amazon today and saw this book. It will be available in April 2023 and is the latest book by a nice fellow here at ET.

    I'm intrigued by the subtitle "30 fully tested strategies for multiple trading styles & time frames" so decided to pre-order it.

    I no longer read anything about trading any more, after developing six excellent systems, I don't have to work on anything new any more. They won't make me a super billionaire but Starbucks coffee is a few bucks. I do read the Bible more now.

    As far as spoofing, lol, one of my systems records trading dialogs then using AI enters so many seconds beforehand...

    It is funny, some believe TA is unworthy and yet I worked hard enough to find gold. To each his own.

  6. I finished re-reading my most re-read book this weekend:

    WARREN BUFFETT and the INTERPRETATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  7. I had the illustrated version... still have it somewhere. Love the old artwork sketches and it was interesting to me in the fact that there is a lot of 'history' in there, of older times. It kept making me wish I had been around in the early 1900s and 1800s equity/commodities markets.

    But as I said, Niederhoffer cuts it up all the time and even gets mad in interviews when people try to say THAT book is in their library right next to "The Education of a Speculator". He hates it when people try to compare the two.

  9. Hmm. That Tom Hougaard I am not familiar with. I looked now, and am a little skeptical when I see he advertises himself as a day-trader.

    That said, here are some books I read since last week. More to follow....

    How Money Works
    The Facts Visually Explained
    By DK
    I didn't mind this visual book. Covers everything from quantitative easing to crypto-currencies.​

    How to Invest Your Money & Profit from INFLATION
    By Morton Shulman (ooops- fixed name!)
    Written by a medical doctor, who was also high up in Canadian politics, as well as a Futures Trader, and had his own TV show, etc. Very interesting stuff. As he puts it, politicians will screw you, to get their votes. They are not out for your benefit unless they can get votes, so we are fucked when it comes to debt/inflation/debasement. There are a lot of interesting things in here, such as how to choose different wine for investment, and why houses are not what people think they are for protecting yourself. Examples of history given over and over, which actually have come back just now, even though this book is almost as old as I am.​


    CFE TAX
    A Guide to Understanding the Basics of Canadian Income Taxation
    By Jason Fleming
    I finally got around to reading this study manual after it's been sitting on my shelf for probably months now. There is good stuff on here for taxation in relation to private Canadian companies, and the rest of how things work pertaining to partnerships, trusts, etc.​
