Articles - Do They Open The Way To Search Engine Rankings

Who doesn’t want to get high rankings in the search engines. I’ve read everywhere and have been sold a bill of goods that writing and publishing your own articles get you to the top of the search engines.

Think this through with me.

You will see for yourself it’s not altogether …

Studying Yoga in India

Studying Yoga in India

Does anybody actually study yoga anymore? Time and time again I see that people classify taking a few workshops with a teacher as studying with that teacher. It seems a far cry away from the study of yoga in India when a student relocated to be near the teacher (typically at a very young age) and th…

Investing Smart: How to Pick Winning Stocks with Investor’s Business Daily

Tags: Business, Business Book, Investing book

Investing Smart: How to Pick Winning Stocks with Investor’s Business Daily Written by a man who tripled his market holdings in five years through careful application of information in “Investor’s Business Daily”, this guide shows investors how to maximize the value of the paper’s many features to reach their market objectives.
Customer Review: Bad presentation
I was very excited to find a book that was going to give me more ideas on how to pick stocks using IBD. While this book did give information on IBD, it never got into anything I found helpful in really using to pick stocks. All the author did was present information I already knew by reading IBD myself. Also this was not a pure IBD product the author attempted to mix in several authors advice and techniques into this work by quoting them verbatim. The book was very dry and hard to read and I do not think beginners or veteran traders will find it helpful. It was written by a doctor, who may be a great trader, but I did not like his writing style. I would advise reading all of William O’Neal’s book and stick with IBD alone to teach you. Find your stock picks in the IBD 100, you do not need this book.
Customer Review: This book sucks..
I bought this book a year and a half or so ago and I think it was a bad investment. I figured this book would be a great addition to How to make money in stocks but I was wrong.

This book is basically scanned in pages of parts of the paper telling you about all the economic indicators and other items in Investor’s Business Daily.

I feel this book could have been a lot better if Dhun Sethna hadn’t spent most of his time talking about such a boring subject… I mean who really wants to interpret economics graphs… I know I don’t. He could have discuss how to find the winners (like the title suggests) but from what I remember about this book it is just about what the paper is and all the economic indicators you can find in it. I can clearly see why William O’Neil doesn’t recommend this book.

Customer Review: A “must have” for beginning commercial real estate investors
I love commercial real estate so I have read a lot of books. Most of them are dry and hard to read. This one spoon feeds you all the way to the end.
I recommend this book for anyone interested in investing in the wonderful world of commercial real estate. It is also a great reference book for experienced investors. It is on my shelf! Peter Conti and Peter Harris have written a great book…Good job guys! Rob from www.WealthLifelines.com
Customer Review: Another High-Priced Sales Pitch
I thought this book was well written. Certainly better than most of the real estate investing books out there.

However, . . . they mention their website a few times in the book and claim to have additional materials and information available on the website that wouldn’t fit in the book. When you go the website, you must put in your contact information to access these additional materials. Fair enough.

Later, you will be contacted by a “mentor,” offering you the chance to join their coaching program for the bargain basement price of $9800! That’s right! $9800.

Plus, as a special promotion, they will only take 50% of the first $100,000 you make in your real estate investing career. (Not sure what they do if you don’t make any money.)

I was really disppointed. I thought I had finally come across a well-written book that wasn’t just a come-on to get you to join a ridiculously expensive “training progran.” I was wrong.

Oh, one more thing. The authors let you know that they are good Christians who give thanks to the Lord. I guess they are extremely thankful that a sucker is born every minute.

What Comes First - Characters or Plot

How do you actually begin a novel - by working out the plot, or starting with a character? And which is best?

The answer is probably pretty much what you expected: no one method is “best”. In fact, many authors have begun their first novel by working from a plot idea, then switch…
