Come Into the Light ( Alla Luce del Sole ) ( By the Light of Day ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Italy ]
$24.99
I saw "Come into the Light" at an Italian Film Festival last year. It is absolutely one of the greatest, most powerfully moving films I've ever seen: the greatest courage is when there is no hope. It is an absolutely true story, beautifully realized by the filmmaker. What an eternal disgrace to the powers that be in Italy, above all the Church, who in a second could have, and should have, immediately brought the bright light of day to shine full force, 24/7, on this town and this priest's murder for trying to fulfill his priestly assignment to help the slum kids--shine on it until is gone, changed. Instead, his life's work, and his brutal murder, was just shoved under the rug and covered up.

Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading
$65.00
I work with several colleagues of mine in late 30's and early 40's studying their MBA. They spend quiet a bit of money, time and family time ( cases where kid's tv addiction linked to parents doing their MBA). Few of them managed to get promotion,some had their titles changed, some moved to different companies doing similar jobs etc. I asked some of them what was their objective of studying MBA at this age. Most have a vague objective,but as Dr.Elder quotes "A caged animal trying to grab it's tail"!. All of them have invariably tried their hand in stock market, got burnt and move back to the comfort of 'cubicle jungles'.

Had they spend the $20,000 or $30,000 they spend on MBA with proper training on trading, losses, trial and error in stock market, software many would have come far ahead in trading and 'self reliance' and 'early retirement' . Instead they fear the corporate layoffs and meaningless promotions that involve travel and less family time and divorce and rebellious kids. I have started the trading career like most others and lost money and thankfully got access to Dr.Alexander Elder's materials before a wipe off!

So now, we have a better way of self graduating to "MBA of trading' where you can be self reliant and retire by simply digesting Elder's books, his suggested reading materials, software ( ex : Metastock , tradestation), bite the painful bullet of losses, enjoy the pleasure of successful trade and slowly evolve to a mature trader. If you are a working professional, you will spend as much ( or more) time as a regular MBA Course, but at least if you happen to be a person fit for becoming an "MBA In Trading", you will be far better off than a MBA in a corporate culdesac.


Here is the suggested order to graduate yourself to an "MBA in Trading".

1. Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management ( You will need to read it twice)
2. Start making journals and learn from your on trading experiences
3. Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading (Masterpiece...Read 4 or 5 times to absorb the spirit and content of the book.)
4. Entries & Exits: Visits to 16 Trading Rooms (Wiley Trading) (Read couple of times)
5. Sell and Sell Short (Wiley Trading) (Read couple of times)
6. Read the books mentioned by other full time traders in "entries and exits" ( ex: Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude)
7. Understand Metastock, Tradestation, esignal type tools.
8. Attend his seminar if you can afford it.

Think about all the time ,money and effort you are going to put into it, it will be similar to the money spent on an MBA...and your title might be "Work from home CEO" with your job description like Self reliant full time trader who looks forward to Monday Mornings and for whom work is an everyday vacation and will work during a vacation also. He is available when kids need him

Reviewing his book in solitude will not serve the reader since it is a sequence of learning material in a tough world and should be treated as such.

I would call Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Tradingas his masterpiece,but Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management is highly recommended because of the sections like all technical indicators explained. Some tools might be tailor made for you. In Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading, the book has narrowed down to exact trading tools Elder uses which is great,but for a newbie , it is better to read the entire menu ( Trading for living) and then chose your dinner ( Come Into My trading room). In trading parlance, The above two books will have to be your "core" positions .

Entries & Exits: Visits to 16 Trading Rooms (Wiley Trading) And Sell and Sell Short (Wiley Trading) are the perfect desserts.E and E is a classic which walks through some sample trades and also a glimpse of tools those users use. All of the traders are trading for living, some with less than 250k equity . Elder looks at their trade and see how simple he makes his trading decision . Sell and Selling short is more like an addendum to his previous books with focus on exit strategies.

I know there are plenty of readers who read financial (and wealth making) books for entertainment. If you are one of them ( The way to check is if you read financial books constantly AND do trading BUT do not have proper records), still this book will fit your case. Choice of words all along the book and subtle comedy makes it an equally interesting read.

EXAMPLES of some punch lines (not verbatim):
> A person who pees against the wind has no right to complain of laundry bills
> Newbies swarm to options to get more bang for their bucks,but it is usually their head that gets banged.
> What beginners call gut feel is usually an urge to gamble, and i tell them they have no right to a gut feel.
> If you pay high above EMA, you will find a greater fool who will pay even more
> Traders dream of profits but often freeze like deer in the headlight when a loss hits them

Whichever book you read in whatever order, make sure to read it, read again and read again .. tread carefully on stockmarket.You might win and in small and subtle ways it is happening to me!

Come into My Swing
$19.98
Other than a swing, jazz and Gypsy guitar fan and a guitarist myself, I've always been a great accordion lover (I've played often with Italian greats as Simone Zanchini and Emanuele Rastelli), so this encouter between the one and only Angelo and the French virtuoso Ludovic Beier got my attention. The music presented here follows the classic Gypsy swing path: fast tempos, la pompe, well known repertoire without too many surprises. The best part is surely Angelo, in my opinion one of the very best jazz guitarists ever in the Gypsy field: tons of swing, great supple and flowing phrasing, immaculate tone, deep knowledge and wise mix of classic and modern language, smart and pleasant use of virtuosity... if it was just for him, I'd have rated this CD 5... thousands stars. But it's Ludovic Beier who doesn't convince me entirely: sure he is a strong player with a great sense of time, and his comping shows respect for the other players and good taste, but his soloing here is often just a boring neverending flowing of fast scales and arpeggio.... ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Often accordionists tend to overdue in virtuosity and fast flurries of notes at expense of phrasing and suitable style... and this is what happens (in my opinion of course) here. In spite of that, the music in this CD flows effortless, the rhythm section is flying high, most of tunes shines and Angelo is really worth listening to again and again. Definitely a recommended buy.
