The Investment Answer Book Review

 

The Investment Answer

The investment Answer was number 3 bestselling book om amazon at the time of writing. It was also in top 100 for more than 12 days and has been reviewed by more than 70 people within a short space time of time. The majority of the people have rated the book 4/5 which in itself is a goo rating.

After just spending an hour reading the book, i feel like i have done a degree in investing. The book teaches some concepts you would not find at college or university. It explains finanace in more simpler terms and usually readers of the tend to understand the big picture and how it affects you.

I have been in finance career for over 15 years but yet to see a book that explains financila concepts with so much clarity and ywithout having to read a lot of material. I have already recommended the books to my circle of friends and colleques.

There is nothing bad to say about the book, the only bad thing i want point out is the false education that is being fed to the millions of people by companies such as Wall Street. These people despise books like the one we talking about here.

To just wrap up my story and review, I will strongly recomend this book to all individuals wanting to understand how investment works, it is a must read and i also know of most university lecturers who are already have this book is mandatory on thier subjects.

Jeremiah Johnson is a lovely movie that i have watched in a decade. This is the story of man who escaped and went to live in the mountains. Jeremiah adapted to the mountain life as he found himself a mentor.

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

This is one of the books that I have read in two days flat. I would have read it in just one sitting but unfortunately did not have enough time to do that. I guess from this two sentences you can imagine for yourself that it was almost impossible to put the book down. I was clued to the book like a young child that would not let go of a sucker.

The book tell of a wonderful story of Louie Zamperini –Louie was  a track and field star in the 30s and was a great sport fan. He participated in the Berlin olympics, as part of the US air force in WWII. Louie Zamperini was shot down over the sea and drifted in the ocean for over thirty days, he was then captured by the Japanese armies and made a remarkable recovery to come back and live his life to the fullest.

The author Hillenbrand is one of the finest authors I thin. I am not sure what I was hesitant to read Seabiscuit, one of her books but I guess there is a good reason for everything.  She has a great talent of making stories alive even when reading them from the book. Her stories are gripping and all her images become live and vivid. You can tell by reading the book the she has done a lot of research and put a great effort on the book.

The story talks about Zamperini’s humble beginnings rise to being a start in sports and finally his involvement in World War. The author gave us the opportunity to see the B24 bombers from the persons who actually flew them. The incidents where Zamperini and his friend Phil were drifted into the sea are beautifully and well written and structured. The author was also not shy to tell about the horrors that were waiting for them at Japanese prison. She eloquently described them. You can tell that the author respcted her subjects as she tells the stories.

Our history does not say a lot about the POW and history of the pacific, but here the author tried to do justice to these wonderful untold stories. In her book, Hillenbrand tries hard to change all that and tell these stories.

After reading the book, I was not sure whether to rate it 4 or 5 but I ended up giving it 5 and maybe its because this was the first book I read for Hillenbrand. I think I already have an expectation for her next books and hopefully they will be on the same lvel or even better.

Tracy Morgan – Sarah Palin Story

Tracy Morgan has called Sarah Palin a good musterbation material. The TV bosses had to issue a statement to apologise on behalf of Tracy.  The bosses has said the comment about the former vice president candidate Saral Palin was unfortunate.

 
The 30 Rock star shocked television viewers across the united states with his bad and lewd comment about the former Alaskan governor during his appearance on the Inside The NBA broadcast on Thursday.

Charles Barkley who was hosting the show, asked the jokefull man about Sarah Palin good looks prompting an answer from Tracy. Mr Morgan replied by saying "Now let me tell you something about Sarah Palin man, she's good masturbation material. The glasses and all that? Great masturbation material."

Turner Network Television officials received a lot of calls from viewers all over the states complaining about Morgan’s offense. A spokesperson from the television station said in a statement "It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments."

Tracy Morgan has yet to make a statement about his comments. It is known by the Turner Network Television whether Mr. Morgan will publicly apologise for his comments.

Now on a different note, I would like to hear from readers of this block if they believe Tracy has a right to his opinions or whether his opinions were right but on a wrong platform. Please post your comments and lets discuss this matter without any swear words and thus respecting all other individuals.

Lexus Recall – What Went Wrong

The Japanese automaker Toyota is initiating another huge recall.

On Wednesday the 26th January 2011, Toyota is recalling more than 1.6 million cars all over the world including approximately 245,000 Lexus models sold in the United States. There appears to be different reasons for different models, for example, In the US, the models are being recalled because of a potential fuel leak that could cause a fuel odor in the car.

Here are the models that are affected:
-Lexus GS 300/350 (2006 and 2007 models)
-Lexus IS250 (2006 through early 2009 models)
-Lexus IS350 (2006 through early 2008 models)


Toyota has announced that it will initiate the recall as soon as all its distributors around the world have the required spare parts to attend to the se defects. It was not clear when Toyota will initiate this recall at the time of writing.The defect in these lexus includes a fuel sensor that has a potential of becoming loose. These sensors are connected to the pipe that delivers fuel to the engine and could easily leaked if not properly tight.


The problem could lead to drivers smelling the fuel from inside the car. Toyota is first waiting to obtain necessary parts before issuing letter to all affected clients. Toyota has indicated that the first thing that they will do is to inspect the vehicle for about an hour and if the fault is detected, it will take approximately three hours to fix the fault. During the repair process, the sensor could be tightened or the gasket could be replaced. The letters of inspections have not been issued yet, but concerned customers are welcome to take their vehicles to Toyota dealers fro inspection.


The fix is free to the vehicle owner.

Title string for the blog here...

This book has been rising sharply on amazon raking and occupied position 6 at the time of writing. The book is so popular that it has been reviewed by over 900 customers. This is just a testament in itself, the more customers reviewing the book, the better it is.
This book is worth reading and more especially is ending. If you read the author%u2019s other two books, you will sear they are the same but in my opinion, this one is different and unique. It appears the author picked up from where he left with his previous book. Blomkvist is doing a good job in investigating those who wanted to frame her and exose all their deceitful actions. It is very interesting to note that he continues to attract lots of ladies to him.

It will not be wise of me to tell you all about the book but I will just give you a generak review to the best of my ability. My overall impression of the book is that it was the least edited of the three previous books. I really think some of the section needs to be cut out from this book as they just waste of paper without any purpose.

I do not think the plot moved along very well compared to the other books. The suspense was there but to the degree one would have expected. Maybe it was me expecting too much but really find the previous books more exciting as I could not put them down but just continue reading. There were some grammatical errors in the book and maybe again it%u2019s just me being too sensitive.

I truly love the ending of this book, I think its well written and ties everything together. The ending to me appears to be the only best and well structured part of this book. For the ending alone, this story is worth reading. I was really not sure whether to rate this book 3 or 4 but ultimately gave it 4.


to wrap it up, everyone who has read the first books will be doing to themselves injustice if they don%u2019t get the final instalment of what I think was the best. Although the books could have been better than the other books, I still find its ending to be the best of the rest. It is indeed a sad state of affairs that the author passed away before he could fine tune the book and continue writing other books.
