In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks,
William O'Neil, distills his 40 years of experience, study, and
analysis of the market into a series of lessons about how to buy and
sell stocks. O'Neil is neither a pure fundamentalist nor a
technician--instead, he advocates blending both approaches, applying
fundamental analysis to identifying the best companies and technical
analysis to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The
lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account
(always cut your losses at 8 percent of the purchase price) and basic
chart reading (identifying market tops and bottoms) to understanding
relative price strength and tips on building a concentrated portfolio.
While not absolutely necessary, it helps to have a copy of Investor's Business Daily handy: these lessons were drawn from a series that O'Neil wrote, which frequently mention features unique to that newspaper. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is a easy-to-read, commonsense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C.

Bachelor's Grub Guide: Easy Cooking for Men by Alastair Williams

to get through the burger and baked bean barrier. Fear

Brush Up Your Poetry! by Michael Macrone Brush Up Your Poetry! is both a lively primer and a fascinating
look at how our language evolved, by focusing on well-known words and
phrases coined in a rich selection of all poems great and small (as
Coleridge would have put it). Readers will savor the familiar and
classically poetic--like Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How do I love
thee? Let me count the ways" and John Donne's "Do not ask for whom the
bell tolls"--but they will also discover the myriad well-known phrases
that you would never expect to come from poems, such as Chaucer's "In
one ear and out the other" and Longfellow's "Into each life some rain
must fall." This is one of the most wonderful books I've ever read and it was of a great value while I was studying at the University.
