Do It, Invest - investing blog, investment tools, financial analysis, portfolio management. The money road.

Two weeks ago, I was posted a review copy of the Stephen T. McClellan’s book: Full of Bull: Do What Wall Street Does, Not What It Says, To Make Money in the Market. Below you can find our doitinvest.com review…
I was quite curious about the book since it had a good press from other reviewers. Furthermore, the author was an investment analyst for quite a long time by then, so I thought it would be interesting to see the insider’s guide on how the big banks treat their investments.

A simple search on this title over any search engine will show you the true power of the concept – there are 118,000 results only on Google. I don’t know if this because of the “Dummies” franchise or because of the number of traders willing to learn the ropes of the field. Certainly there is an incredibly high demand for this title and the reasons are simple – the demand for online currency trading is surging.

Technical analysis is one of my passions, so here we go with another recent release of a book focusing on that topic. Given the recent advent of the online trading platforms (e.g the MetaTrade 4 or MT), trading has ecome much easier than a few years ago. In the same time, it has become also much more dangerous, since the easiness of trading is simply translated into a greater risk for the trader. And risk means the possibility to have huge profits in a short time, but also the possibility to be wiped out from the market very quickly. Being wiped out from a trading platform means loosing all the money you deposited as a leverage (your trading capital, of course).

Why not a blogroll? Why didn’t we post a sidebar laterally on our investing blog, with all the investing links we considered interesting?
Well, first of all because this would be definitely too long. We at doitinvest.com read lots of investing blogs. And we are very human after all - we have opinions on these, of course. Here we go with some of the most popular blogs we watch constantly, as well as with some comments on them.
The blogs are not in any particular order or ranking. We posted them here as they crossed our minds.
Below you will find some of the more interesting investment oriented blogs from the wonderful virtual kingdom we all live in more and more. We can’t guarantee their results on your investing portfolio - but we can tell you that they are good at distilling the barrage of daily financial information. Sometimes, you could even have some fun with these. And sometimes you can make some money. Too bad that we do not know which comes when.

Steve Palmquist has put together a DVD series on trading where he shows his systems. As one of the oldest active theoreticians on the technical analysis, this is quite a treat. In fact it is quite rare that you have the occasion to watch a series of such interesting live seminaries, in the pace of your home.

Well, a book on investing on shares by a Forbes columnist who has more experience than my professional age? Could be interesting, don’t you think?

And indeed it was. Ken Fisher writes in a somehow difficult manner. He sidetracks with his three questions back and forth on the same subject. And repeats quite obsessively some of his ideas in the 400+ pages of this project. But at the end of the day I found “The only 3 questions you need to ask” informing and well documented. And full of (arguably) useful insights on shares investing.

What is the book about?

Well, about investing in shares and about how you can sustainably beat the markets.

Jeff Greenblatt starts his book with a classical adagio – “The only constant is change” (Heraclit). In this respect, his book is very interesting. Because “Breakthrough Strategies to Predicting Any Market” is in equal measure a book about technical trading as well as about self-discipline.

The author begins his book by underlining what can bring you the trading success.

Jack Schwager was one of the first investment authors to write a pretty comprehensive guide to trading in various markets, a guide fully dedicated to the so well developed nowadays field of technical analysis. The guide contains a pretty classic structure, also used quite often by the other authors in their books. (Which, in my opinion, represents a sort of a tacit recognition of the fact that Schwager was one of the first authors to formalize its method.)

Recently I read a survey on a famous social networking site. The author was asking a very broad question - what is the best financial tool you ever used?

Well, we at doitinvest.com do not pretend we know which one. But the survey has revealed some interesting facts:
