Review of Trader's Intuition by Roger Doss

Roger Doss is a Computer Geek with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Still, he understands that many people choose their stocks based on nothing more than gut instincts.

Inside the pages of Trader’s Intuition, Doss explores how choosing the right stocks, for short-term or long-term holdings, can have a profound effect on each investor's long-term wealth.

Instead of devoting long chapters to how the stock market works, how stocks are bought and sold, Doss gets to the nitty-gritty in quick order. He starts with a precursor on stock brokers and stock brokerage firms and then moves on to costs involved for online investors.

Trader's Intuition was published January 11, 2017, and is currently available for $2.99 on Kindle.

For those with limited background in the stock market, Doss makes it easy to understand how stock patterns work, what to look for, and how to select specific industries and individual stocks according to your investment needs: short-term and long-term income.

Chapters include issues like Rebalancing your portfolio through the partial sale of profitable stock holdings and Magic Numbers and Position Size. All in all, this is a quick read; an easy entry to the stock market for beginners and ends with four strategies to implement through your own research to find killer stock bargains.

Thanks for reading - Al W Moe

Review of "The Deeper Dark" by Michael Allen

Michael Allen's The Deeper Dark is a military-political thriller with a haunting forecast of what could happen when our political system controls just a tiny bit more of our lives than it already does. Our story starts with a pilot's worst nightmare: being forced down over enemy lines. Then, like John McCain and other real-life wartime pilots, his nightmare comes into even scarier focus as he is met immediately by the opposition forces who are armed and most certainly dangerous. In Deeper , pilot Haven Kayd is taken to a dank and soon to be dark cell that has housed many other prisoners. The fact that he's the only one there is less than comforting. For months Kayd fights away the psychological fears his captors impose on him and manages to escape, only to find that his nightmare continues when he returns home to find his wife and daughter shocked to see him. They've been told he's dead. The message finally dawns on him: Fear the Deep State. Kayd asks questions a...

John Grisham's "The Guardians"

If you've been waiting for John Grisham to deliver another solid book, the 2019 issuance of The Guardians is probably your best bet. Grisham, of course, has made a habit of taking small-time or at least small-town lawyer story's to breakneck-speed endings while spinning a vast (if not luxurious) web of possible plots across a reader's mind. I'm a fan, but there have been a few stumbles in my opinion, such as The Whistler , and Camino Winds , that move slowly and lack the thrill of the chase I found in earlier books. Fortunately, Grisham's on the ball with this book, and I was happy to get trapped for hours inside the covers of my bed and the book itself. In this "wrongful conviction" story, lawyer Cullen Post takes a series of cases as far as he can, saying "I have five cases...., I've watched one of my clients die. I still think he was innocent. I just couldn't prove it in time." Such is the pressure and turmoil of a pro-bono lawyer a...

Review of "The Career Killer" by Ali Gunn

Author Ali Gunn brings us the first in her DCI Mabey series, with The Career Killer , a smart detective-mystery novel. Set in London, the main character works at London Yard, where her father wrote many of the training manuals. She may be her father's daughter, but her fellow detective would have preferred her father's son to be the heir apparent to his legacy. Newly-minted Detective Chief Inspector Elsie Maybe takes her new promotion in stride until she inherits a wonky tribe of underlings and a murder at an old church. She's not fast to gather clues, not because she's moving at half-speed due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but because the nature of the new string of murders has some ring of normalcy or familiarity to her, starting with a young woman in a wedding dress found in the ruins of an ancient London church. She doesn't move like Columbo or Hercule Poirot, asking questions and sifting the carnage over in her mind. Instead, she seems to plot the next...
