Only Wet Babies Like Change: Workplace Wisdom for Baby Boomers

Book Description

Successful traders utilize a wide variety of approaches to attack the markets. Irrespective of the approach, virtually every top trader abides by four key principles: trade with the trend, cut losses short, let profits run, and manage risk. In this eagerly anticipated book, trading expert Bruce Babcock fully explains each of these principles and shows readers how to implement the four principles in their own trading. Consisting of a series of interviews with top traders, Babcock demonstrates that while there are many ways to trade, only those traders who rigorously apply the four principles will achieve lasting success. Featured traders include Jack Schwager, Larry Williams, and Tom Aspray. All traders, from rank beginners to seasoned veterans, will enjoy and benefit from this important new book.

This book made me a multi-millionaire.......2007-02-06

I am a retired stockbroker and a multi-millionaire. I retired aged 38. As I write, I am 43, and now I focus my life on my real passion - martial arts. You can see me on youtube on THEREALGEEZA channel - (I am Geeza). I have an MBA and achieved CFA status. I have read around 100 books on investment and the stock market. If you made me trace my riches back to one book, it is this one. I traded stocks for the first three years of my life working as a stockbroker analyst and did not make much money. Then I read this book and everything I was doing wrong became crystal clear. The other reviewers seem to have missed the point of this book and I cannot recommend it more highly. Follow these rules and you will get rich. Good luck.

The rules are right. The book is not........2003-05-01

Normally I will check the reviews on Amazon before I buy a book. Because I had read some of the very interesting but negative reviews of this book so I borrowed it from the library instead of buying it with my hard earned money. Thanks to those reviewers, I had saved twenty bucks.

Actually, this is a trading book of the interview type. The problems are: 1) The interviewees are far less famous than those in "Market Wizards I&II". 2) The author's fixation on "identify trends, cut losses, maximize profit and manage risk" (reflected by his questions like "Do you think X (any one of the above four)is important?" had limited the scope of answers from the interviewees that made the book much less useful and interesting than it could be. Very short "yes" and "no" answers from the respondents were frequent. 3) The author's deliberate separation of the book into the four main principles/chapters had made the whole book incohesive and hard to read. You can see the opinion of Jake Bernstein (a writer who wrote over 20 trading books) here and there that made you hard to have a holistic view of his trading strategy and ideology at all.

In short, just borrow one if you really want to read it.

An XLNT book.......2000-09-10

The premise is simple, four rules, but it is the application from traders that have very different styles that make this book worthwhile. It's easy to say trade with the trend, cut your losses, etc. How do you define that? It depends on your trading method. It's not the same for everyone.

The traders interviewed in this book walk through how they trade (or don't) based on these principles. Anytime you can look over another successful traders shoulder and see how they do it, it's invaluable. My copy is well worn and dog eared. Anyone that actually trades the markets would find this book well worth the money, and an excellent read.

$28 for four liners.......1999-03-22

1.Identify Trends 2.Cut Losses 3.Maximize Profits 4.Manage Risk. Now send me $28 and forget about the book!

Read the dust jacket, pass on the book.......1998-11-28

Read the dust jacket and learn the four key principles: trade with the trend, cut losses short, let profits run, and manage risk. You don't need to spend the $28 to buy the book.

Book Description

In magnetic systems of nano-meter size, the interplay between spin and charge of electrons provides unique transport phenomena. In magnetic superlattices, magnetic and non-magnetic metallic thin films with thickness of the order of one nano-meter are piled-up alternately. Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in these superlattices in 1988, spin dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures have received much attention from both academic and technological points of view. Ferromagnetic tunnel junctions made of ferromagnetic metal electrodes and a very thin insulating barrier between them are also of current interest as magnetoresistive devices, where the tunneling current depends on the relative orientation of magnetization (TMR). In addition to magnetic superlattices and magnetic tunnel junctions, magnetic granular systems and magnetic dots have been studied extensively as magnetoresistive systems. Edited by two of the world's leading authorities, Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures introduces and explains the basic physics and applications of a variety of spin-dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures with particular emphasis on magnetic multilayers and magnetic tunnel junctions.

Book Description

At the height of the debates over the adoption of the Constitution in 1787-88, a series of articles began to appear in the New York Journal. Their author, calling himself "Publius," urged the ratification of the new constitution, offering, in Thomas Jefferson's words, "the best commentary on the principles of government, which was ever written." These eighty-five articles, commonly known as "The Federalist Papers," were in reality the work of three men; Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. These papers were soon collected and printed in book form in 1788 under the title The Federalist. This is an updated version of those famous papers.

Customer Reviews:

Publius wrote a winner.......2005-09-15

It simply does not get better than this. Publius (Hamilton, Jay, Madison) wrote these essays to sell the ratification of the Constitution. They are still reference material for the US Supreme Court. Read and take these to heart if you wish to understand our government and Constitution.

Book Description

Do trees get drinks? Does the sun give us energy? Where do animals go when it rains?

My Big World of Wonder allows teachers to heighten young children's awareness of nature and develop an understanding of our natural resources at the same time. This easy-to-use activity book explores how we use-and gives ways to preserve-all natural resources: air, water, minerals, soil, land, and all life forms. Designed for use both inside and outside of the classroom, this helpful resource contains over 80 stimulating activities organized by season-each focusing on the three core principles of conservation: preservation, restoration, and management.

Activities ideas include the following:

Matching animals with their tracks
Planting, arranging, and selling a variety of flowers
Examining how seeds grow
Exploring how spiders catch their food
Studying animals that hatch from eggs
Looking at the effects of littering

An ideal resource for teachers from preschool to early primary, My Big World of Wonder also includes helpful appendices containing children's literature, teacher resources, organizations and resources, thematic lesson plans, and journal instructions.

Sherri Griffin, Ph.D., is a professor of early childhood education at Central Methodist College and a teacher/director at Millersburg Preschool and Alumni School, both in central Missouri. She also presents workshops on conservation with young children at local, state and national conferences. She lives in Fulton, MO.
