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!

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 ...

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.

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...
