How I Made $2,000,000 In the Stock Market

* Includes Dynamic Chapter Linking For Premium Navigation * Before emigrating to America, Darvas studied economics at the University of Budapest. Arriving in the US in 1951, Darvas trained with his half-sister, Julia, to be a ballroom dancer, becoming extremely successful & touring the world by 1956. He discovered investing in 1952, when a Toronto nightclub, unable to pay him in cash, instead paid him with shares. It was on a two-year tour of the world that he initially developed his 'Darvas Box' method of screening stocks, a method of picking stocks based on the stock's price & volume, later going on to refine this to remove any human element from his trading to substantial success. Nicolas Darvas is regarded as one of the best traders in the history of the market & his method, whilst complicated and difficult to master, has been rigorously tested and has been found to be one of the best trading systems yet developed. It is a first hand account of how Nicolas Darvas did this in the space of about 2 years.

Ecological Intelligence

Ecological Intelligence

The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence and Primal Leadership now brings us Ecological Intelligence—revealing the hidden environmental consequences of what we make and buy, and how with that knowledge we can drive the essential changes we all must make to save our planet and ourselves.We buy “herbal” shampoos that contain industrial chemicals that can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton t-shirts, but don’t know that its dyes may put factory workers at risk for leukemia. In Ecological Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green are a “mirage,” and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis.Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy.But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. This “radical transparency” will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their businesses, ushering in, Goleman claims, a new age of competitive advantage.

La 50e loi

La 50e loi

« Ce dont les gens ont le plus peur, c'est d'être eux-mêmes. Ils veulent être 50 cent ou quelqu'un d'autre. Ils font comme tout le monde même si ce n'est ni le bon endroit ni la bonne personne. Mais en procédant ainsi, on n'aboutit nulle part. On souffre d'un manque d'énergie et personne ne fait attention à vous. On s'éloigne au galop de la seule chose que l'on possède : ce qui fait de chaque personne un être unique. Cette peur, je l'ai perdue, et dès lors que j'ai ressenti le pouvoir que j'avais en montrant au monde que je ne me souciais pas d'être comme les autres, je n'ai jamais pu revenir en arrière. » - 50 CentÀ travers des exemples tirés de la vie de 50 Cent mais aussi de l’histoire du monde, de Thucydide à Malcom X en passant par Napoléon ou Louis XIV, Robert Greene nous offre les clés de l’intrépidité et de la réussite.Avec de nombreuses citations de Miles Davis, Machiavel, Montesquieu, Clausewitz...Robert Greene est diplômé de Berkeley, Californie, en lettres classiques.

Why

Why "A" Students Work for "C" Students and Why "B" Students Work for the Government

Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out 'Es' / Employees... those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers –entrepreneurs-in-the-making... those "C Students who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications and products.The book urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.Robert showcases success stories of "C Students" who grew up to be phenomenal successes – and HIRED those "A Students"(attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, "B Students," often find themselves in government-type jobs...Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what "A," "B," and "C" stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world... an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva (30.º aniversario)

Casi todo el mundo intuye que podría mejorar su comportamiento, tanto en el trabajo como en la vida privada, pero pocos saben cómo conseguirlo.Stephen R. Covey, el llamado Sócrates americano, ni da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonearnos. Su método es claro, certero y eficiente: siete etapas que el lector deberá asimilar y poner en práctica por su cuenta, adaptándolas a su personalidad y aplicándolas en todos los ámbitos de su vida.El autor se sirve de anécdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la visión personal hasta la renovación equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo y la administración personales, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicación empática y la cooperación creativa.Gracias a esto y a través del desarrollo de conceptos clave, el lector podrá comprender que todo lo que hacemos debe concordar con lo que verdaderamente captamos de la realidad que nos rodea. Por tanto, si queremos modificar una situación, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos y para ello es necesario que cambiemos también nuestras percepciones. Así lograremos desarrollar nuestra autoconfianza, nuestro carácter, nuestra integridad, nuestra honestidad y nuestra dignidad para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo auténtico e intransferible.Con los originales consejos de Sean Covey sobre cómo aplicar los hábitos en nuestra era moderna, la sabiduría de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva se actualiza para dar vida a una nueva generación de líderes.
