Book Review: Tent of David by Boaz Michael

Image
Click the image to read more reviews. In this book Boaz Michael takes a quote from the book Pirkei Avot (Chapters of the Fathers) that reads like this: "All my days have I grown up among the wise and I have not found anything better for a man than silence. Studying Torah is not the most important thing rather fulfilling it. Whoever multiplies words increases sin." Pirkei Avot 1:17  I really need to internalize that quote!!  This book has taken me some time to read. At times I had to force myself to continue. Not because of any criticism I can gather about the content of the book, but because of my own discomfort given to me from the mirror it holds up from my past actions. Oh how I have been the very person that this book is talking about. Many of the lessons it warns of I have already lived. This is truly a book that I wish I had read 4 years ago. It would have saved myself and others a whole lot of grief that I was causing. If you are someone who has recently started expl...

Did You Get FOMO'd? Don't Leave Yet!

Image
In case you haven't heard Bitcoin shook off about 50% of it's value last week leaving a whole bunch of people dazed and confused. I just happened to sell most of my bitcoin the week before and turned around and bought a bunch of Ethereum at $4000+. Ethereum was not immune to the selloff, and although I was not 100% in the market at the time, I was enough in the market to have suffered a huge decline in the value of my account. Like, MAKE ME WANT TO THROW-UP huge. I didn't crack, I didn't sell. I just held on for dear life. at one point I had to turn off my phone and computer, go outside and play with my bees. I had to get my mind off of it.  Why did I do this? Because the only sure way to lose your money is to sell your investments when the market is lower than when you purchased them. Common sense, right?! Then why did so many people sell their investments for less than what they bought them for? I'll tell you exactly why. Most people are too lazy to do any kind ...

Trades 6 & 7 GPS Forex Robot 3 Live Review

Image
Click the image above and you will be taken to my account page where you can see all the details of all the trades this robot has made. So it had a losing trade already May 19, 2021. I was really hoping that it would get 10 trades complete before it would have an actual losing trade. Thankfully the trade was not a big loss. It only lost .70cents. Not reall worth writing about, but i want to be fully open and transparent about what is going on with the robot. This is why I share the link to MyForexBook page. In case I haven't mentioned it before I kind of want to briefly explain MyForexBook to you so you can see why I use it.  MyForexBook is a platform that is used amongst traders for numerous reasons. The way it works is it allows you to connect to your actual trading platform so that it can pull all trading information from there and present it here as a public presentation of how your trading is going. If you are unfamiliar with trading forex you may wonder what possible good t...

Trade #4 & #5 GPS Forex Robot 3 Review

Image
It just keeps growing. Bit by bit, but growth is growth! Quick Update: So last week I never did a second update even though the robot did open another trade. You can look back at trade #3   and see how it turned out. Trade number 4 was a success in my mind simply because it didn't lose any money. For whatever reason the robot determined soon after opening the trade that it was too risky to stay in it and closed the trade at the same place it opened it. Many folks would probably be upset about that, but it helps give me confidence that it is being very conservative with my money. I'm cool with it. And here it is only Monday and the  GPS Forex Robot 3 opened a trade this afternoon, and the trade stayed open about 5 hours. This was a winning trade and I am now up 1.93% for the month. Will it trade again this week? I don't know, but I hope so!  I will continue to slowly add funds to this account as it is looking like it is safe for the current market conditions. With ...

BigDaddyBigz Review: A Beginner's Guide To The Stock Market by Matthew R. Kratter

Image
Click image to read more reviews on this book This book absolutely delivers! Right out of the box this book will give you a gift. It will show a beginner how to immediately start making money in the stock market with a very safe and simple method of finding stocks to purchase that will give you a variety of gains in the very first week. It is a strategy that you can even choose to use throughout your trading career and make small gains for years to come, and actually compound your returns exponentially. If you are looking to get into trading stocks I highly recommend this book. Even if you are opening up a free Robinhood account to start trading (which I recommend to new people) and depositing $100 to start, I believe with the one strategy he teaches in chapter 1 you will make your $6.99 back in your first few days.  Now one thing I need to make sure you understand about this book. It has a ton of important information and techniques to help you jump start your trading, but the au...

My Thoughts On Elon's Tweet

Image
Elon Musk is hilarious! He pumps Dogecoin for months making many people millionaires overnight in some cases. He really hypes it up. He buys a ton of Bitcoin (in the billions in USD). Tells the world he is accepting cryptocurrency for his car sales. He called dogecoin a hustle on Saturday Night Live, then talks up dogecoin as being the currency of his moon city or something. Now, a few days later it seems he has attempted to crash the entire crypto market with an idiotic tweet about energy consumption in the mining of Bitcoin. Are you kidding me???? Maybe we should first take a look at the man in the mirror. You know, that man that intends to build a city on the moon and get us to Mars. I can't even begin to imagine how much energy that is going to take, not to mention how much you've already used in working toward that goal. By the way, didn't you launch a rocket into space just to put one of your cars in orbit? I think that was just for giggles and to stroke your ego. ...

Book Review: The Happy Mind by Kevin Horsley and Louis Fourie

Image
Click Image For More Reviews On This Book I want to get this on thing out of the way first, but I do not want you to make a decision about this book based on this one thing. So here it goes. This book seems to be one big string of platitudes and quotes about being happy. There, I said it. Now read the rest. This is not a book of quotes. Please don't think that it is only that. There is some real substance to it beyond the platitudes. This book has real instruction within the pages. Instruction on how to practically apply the information contained therein.  It is simplistic in style and readability, but the content of is so needed today. People are busy, too busy, and need help holding on to what happiness they have. Many others are starved for happiness and are in desperate need for all the help they can get.  I am guilty of being grouchy all the time. Not having time for friendships, family gatherings, being negative about everything, being suspicious of everyone, and the lis...

Trade #3 GPS Forex Robot 3 Review

Image
Quick update: Trade #3 results are in the red circle to the left. Trade #3 activated today as a buy. Remember, I only allow the GPS Forex Robot 3 to trade the EURUSD pair in order to protect the account from blowing out.  Trade number 3 was a success, though a very low win. I'll take gains without complaint. A win is a win.  In the picture above you can see the results, but just to recap here, it made a $1.12 profit which was a .11% increase to my account. Since it is still very early in the week I look for it to make another trade soon and keeping my fingers crossed for better results. Thanks for checking in' Be a blessing to God!

I Am Mad As Hell!

Image
So, today is Mother's Day 2021. Happy Mother's Day to any mother that stumbles upon this post, no matter what day of the year it when you do so. It is Mother's Day and I was able to spend the day with my mom. She lives in a nursing home now, but they did allow her to leave the nursing home today in order to come spend time with her kids and a few of her grandkids in her house that she and dad built back in 1981. It was a good day despite her desire to stay at her house. Please understand that it just is not possible. None of her kids are in a financial position to pay for the type of round the clock care she would need. This is part of why I am mad as hell. Mom and me  My dad was a good man. He was the son of 2 great people who I miss very much. These two people, my grandparents, lived through the Great Depression. Although my grandpa had a good job with the telephone company during that time, they witnessed the hard times that many around the country were suffering. They w...

Is The Robinhood App Good For Investing

Image
In my investing and trading career I have used numerous investing platforms. I currently use 7 different platforms on 3 different types of markets. Many trading platforms are just downright overcomplicated. They give traders opportunities to use many different tools on their charts. Options are great, but for someone like me it lends to my desire (if that's what you call it) to completely overthink a trade. The more stuff you give me to analyze a stock, the more time I'm gonna spend doing just that, and will either miss the good entry point or just talk myself out of what turns into a great trade.  So why then do I use so many different platforms? Frankly, they each have a different purpose. Keep in mind, I trade Stocks, Forex, and Cryptocurrencies. They all have their different platforms, and I keep my money in multiple places for safety reasons. I agree that it may be overkill, but it works for me.  But why is Robinhood so great? Simply put, SIMPLICITY! Robinhood is so sim...

The GPS Forex Robot 3 has made another winning trade without any effort on my part. We are now 2 for 2. A 100% win rate so far.

New Balance Minus Brokerage Fees $1023.02 This trade added brought up my account another 1.27%. You won't get that kind of return at any bank.

Make sure to look at all of the updates. Understand, it has 4 currency pairs that it can trade. I only allow it to trade one cur...

Book Review: A Christian Guide to the Biblical Feasts by David Wilber

Image
Click above image to read more reviews and order book. In this spectacular book David does an incredible job of helping Christians navigate through what the Bible refers to as God's Appointed Times. These times are commonly referred to as "Jewish Feasts",  but are they Jewish-only celebrations? What does the Bible say about what other believers should do with these feasts? What do these feasts have to do with Jesus? Why should they matter to Christians? What exactly is Yom Kippur, Feast of Shavuot, and Sukkot?  I assure you of this, by the time you finish David's book "A Christian Guide to the Biblical Feasts" you will have the answers to all of these questions and so much more. David packs so much information and presents it in such an easy-to-read format you will walk away from this book with a deep understanding of these celebrations and how they pertain to the Jew and Gentile alike. If you have read your Bible and wonder what these feasts are about, you ...

Book Review: Meditations by Markus Aurelius

Image
Click the image above for more reviews on this book! Though I did not complete this book this week I did read 65% of it according to my Kindle. This is not my favorite kind of reading, though I did find Markus to have been a very insightful person. I do believe it is more of a book of observations than meditations. I honestly can't justify this book with a full review because it just didn't grab my attention and hold it. However, I may come back later and finish it, but for now I just need to say it is not my kind of reading.  If you are looking for a free book with free audio that has good worthwhile information about human nature, this may be your book. This week, for me, I just wasn't feeling it.  Before you buy another book check out the Kindle Unlimited Membership Plans
