[leonasdad] 25/12/2015 08:29

Oi!, you two.
Check out previous, invivo steer... And other conversations

[temmujin] 25/12/2015 08:23

sandbag...merry xmas!but i dont follow religion or pagan festivals so why go along with the herd?and by the way someone has to be behind the technology to turn steel to dust...and its usually those with the most money who are obsessed with developing weaponry...remember the masons motto "order out of chaos"

you can usually obtain a copy on ebay for £40 or get it direct from www.wheredidthetowersgo.com or www.checktheevidence.com

[sandbag] 24/12/2015 22:38

Temmujin,

I've just viewed the youtube clips and am quite astounded. Most of my working life concerned heavy steelwork (major construction projects on three continents) and the thought of steelwork turning to dust as it falls a few hundred feet seems astonishing. I shall certainly buy this book as I am most intrigued. However if it is true that this happened I am sure it will be more down to the laws of physics rather than Masonic or Zionist influence.
I would like to point out that you seem oblivious to present time. It's Christmas. The time for goodwill to all men. Park your prejudices for the time being.

Merry Christmas to you.

Edit:
I've just looked for this book on Amazon - £283 second hand - Jeez! I shan't be buying it but will see if I can get this through my local library.

What investment books can you recommend?

I have read and enjoyed the following;

Free Capital discusses the investment strategy of 12 individuals who have all been very successful . What I enjoyed most about this is that it highlighted the fact that there are many strategies you can use to get very good returns.

The snowball is the only authorized biography about Warren Buffet. Arguably the most successful investor ever. I found this a compelling read.


The intelligent investor is the book that taught Warren Buffet so that's probably the only recommendation needed. I think it lays out the case for value investing very strongly with good examples.

[zangdook] 19/1/2014 08:54

thanks. I'll have a look.

[davidosh] 19/1/2014 08:49

zangdook....the book was launched at our Mello investor event in December and you will find some comments and reviews of the book linked here...





I featured his top ten here...

[zangdook] 19/1/2014 04:32

Looks like John Lee's written his own book



Anyone seen it?

[zangdook] 26/8/2013 11:06

btw, if you change the tt in the http of the URL to capital TT it'll get around advfn's helpful URL-wrecking software and make the link clickable.

[zangdook] 26/8/2013 11:04

Thanks

Are there any significant changes to the existing chapters?

[freecapital] 26/8/2013 10:58

Happy New Year.

Is there any chance of an iPhone or kindle version of "Free Capital" being made available?

[praipus] 04/10/2012 06:55

Hi freecapital yes there was something about DIVA here. An email from FRM resolved it and as it was off topic so I moved it to the DIVA thread. Apologies for any confusion.

[freecapital] 03/10/2012 21:20

Thanks. I thought I saw you post about DIVA somewhere, was it here? Anyway I will answer now on the DIVA thread.
