Take a bite out of the markets with the Naked Trader! This book is for anyone who really wants to consistently make money trading shares. Trading and investing can be tough - most fail. The human mind is to blame. It's prone to emotion, cluttered with distractions like Twitter and social media, easily trapped by scams. But it's possible to make money in the markets - and to do so reliably. Robbie Burns, aka The Naked Trader, has been trading successfully from his home for 15 years - making over GBP2m tax-free (while eating a lot of toast and watching Game of Thrones). He's also met and helped thousands of fellow traders at his seminars, seen every possible trading meltdown, and knows exactly what can go wrong - but also how to put it right. In Trade Like a Shark, Robbie uses his unique firsthand experience and the real-life stories traders have shared with him to expose exactly how the human mind can play havoc with your trading. At the same time he reveals his tried-and-tested methods for overcoming it, showing how to be a shark, gobbling up money from the 'fish' who are full of fear, greed and other emotions. (And also why modelling yourself on Mr Spock can work wonders.) If you've run into problems trading in the stock market - or just want to reinforce good habits - there is no better or wittier guide to the pitfalls that are out there, and some surprisingly effective ways to overcome them. It's a must-read book on trading psychology - without the jargon. Read it and take your trading to the next level now!

Leaving children with a substantial amount of money can be a boon
or a burden. High-net-worth parents need to give their children an
education to navigate today's complex world. The question becomes
how to raise children with a sense of reality and balance,
imparting a strong work ethic, and making them good stewards of
their wealth. "
"A unique approach to understanding how you innately relate to handling money. A fascinating concept!" - Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages True financial well-being involves more than getting out of debt and accumulating wealth. It's about discovering how you're wired by God, and how that wiring influences the way you think about, feel toward, and handle money. Discovering your money type - whether you are an Abraham (hospitality), an Isaac (discipline), a Jacob (beauty), a Joseph (connection), a Moses (endurance), an Aaron (humility), or a David (leadership) - will bring greater self-awareness, reduce internal financial tension, help you resolve financial conflict with others, and help you grow financially from a faith-based perspective. As you walk with Pastor Brown through the Scriptures you'll find holistic financial pathways that lead you to a place of increased awareness and confidence related to money. In The Seven Money Types, Pastor Tommy Brown leads you on a journey of personal discovery as he reveals the seven money types found in Scripture, helps you identify the type that best fits you by means of a 35-question assessment, and coaches you on understanding, affirming, developing, and enjoying your unique approach to money.
Do you speak money? You should. It is the world's most important language. It's spoken everywhere. Speaking--or at least understanding--this language allows you to follow the real conversations in politics, business, and at work. Understanding money and speaking the language fluently is critical to preparing for a comfortable retirement, building a small business, planning for college and a career for your children. Everyone speaks it differently, with different dialects. Some are riskier than others. Some want to save their money; others want to see it grow. There is no one accent, but understanding the differences will make couples, business partners, and coworkers happier--and wealthier. Authors and CNN financial experts Ali Velshi and Christine Romans speak the global language of money and translate it every day for hundreds of thousands of viewers. And they are here to teach you, too. It's easier to learn than you might think. Speaking money affects every area of your life. It's more than simply your savings or the investments you may have. It involves the way you think about money, the way you teach your children about it, and the way you were taught about it yourself. It's about the way you spend it, save it, invest it, use it, need it and want it. The book will: Shed light on the male and female spending and investing disparityDiscuss emerging international economiesWeigh the financial hurdle of student debt culminating in a successful jobExplain how to budget wisely and build wealthShow how to plan appropriately for retirement "How to Speak Money" is an easy-to-read, practical book that helps readers become fluent in the world's most universal language.

A contrarian and controversial look at personal finance, and a super simple strategy for making--and keeping--more money Traditional financial wisdom persuades us to grow our net worth and build our assets. But traditional financial wisdom is often wrong. In "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots: The Simplest Personal Finance Strategy You'll Ever See," author and Chartered Accountant David Trahair challenges everything we think we know about managing our money, suggesting that that we follow the lead of the financial institutions that are leading us down the path to financial ruin. The banks, brokers, and investment companies of the world make enormous sums of money because they know that cash is king and they know how to guarantee cash flow from their clients on a continual basis. They aren't making the bulk of their money from investing in the stock market--they're leeching it from regular people like you, every minute of every day. "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots" turns the tables, showing that the biggest cash cow we have is ourselves. Instead of chasing a dream that will never come true, it presents a financial plan so simple even a 10-year-old could understand it.Explains why the common consensus about making money is inherently flawedPresents an incredibly simple, easy-to-follow plan for really making and saving moneyExposes the dangers of trusting money to a bank or broker Helping you break asset addiction, get out of debt, and increase your personal cash flow--and your wealth with it, "Cash Cows, Pigs and Jackpots" explains how bringing more cash into your life and watching carefully where it goes will allow you to save more, live the life you want, and avoid as much risk as possible--a great strategy going into the stormy financial years to come
