Investing For The Rest Of Us by David L. Wright. Really informative book with plenty of information for both skilled investors and beginners. I liked that there is practical information for average ppl like me. I started to learn about investments about a year ago. Have nothing invest yet, but considering to start from the most reliable and stable companies like FB or Fitbit, for example, because as stated at https://bnlfinance.com/why-fitbit-and-facebook-are-very-similar-companies/ they are pretty similar. So if there are like-minded people here, please share where are you learning about investments from?
You might start reading books by Ric Edelman. He's got a few out there, easy to understand and absorb and he's been in the investing biz a long time.
Books by Laurence J. Kotlikoff and Ed Slott also are worth a read.

I signed up for the email updates after you mentioned it!
Well tickle me on the gular pouch. Jan-Feb has an article on ice climbing. MN has 3 parks where they do ice farming on cliff sides specifically for ice climbing. Climbing equipment, spiked boots and picks. Scale to the top. Cool dude! Oh yeah, learned what a gular pouch is.

I highly recommend this chunk of pulp ( not your typical book ) to this audience , this new breed of super stoners . It describes a way of thinking which gives one a competitive edge in life......it's about breaking rules , taking risks , experimenting , fucking-up , growing and having a lot of f'ing fun . Shawn Gold is the founder of Pilgrim Soul .

I've been running through the Jack Ryan books by Clancy on Libby. I think I just got the 6th or 7th one this evening.
That's such a great, epic story arc isn't it? From "Red October" on thru, I've enjoyed every one.

Oh, i wish i could reaf something fictional. Cause now i read mostly professional literature
Hey Garmin , welcome to the hippest stoner sanctum around ! Didn't see you come in . I'm reading an old classic for about the 10th time......." Candide " by Voltaire...
to me it's a effing gem . It's a short book packed to the hilt with pith . I highly recommend it . I'm not a sci-fi guy , however , the book " Dune " by Frank Herbert , a real effing ball-buster ....incredible . This sci-fi book was hailed as " An unparalleled achievement of the imagination . It was turned into a continuing series I didnt read .It's quite a chunk of pulp. Have fun here stoner dude !
