The latest book I’m reading “One Up On Wall Street” is a great read, I’m not quite done of it yet with about 100 pages left, but it’s a great companion book to my other favorite finance book “The Wealthy Barber”.

The reason that I like it so much is that it fills in the gap in how to research a great company and gives great explanations as to what some of the confusing terms are when you’re looking at [...]

So I’m surfing through the ‘net trying to keep my mind occupied and not on the fact that my Hunter is at the AVC alone in the dark likely (shit that didn’t work).. anyhow, and I came across a link to Google Books.

However one thing is [...]

So I’ve just finished (last night) reading the Wealthy Barber by David Chilton. I honestly don’t think that it can be understated how much I think it’s important that EVERY CANADIAN reads this book. I know a lot of people summarize and think “oh.. that’s the guy that wants me to save 10% of my income..
