Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inspiring words from Never Give Up!'I believe the so-called 'impossible' is actually very often possible, if you're willing to work very hard, and if you realize that problems can become opportunities.''When I hear the word 'no' it becomes a challenge to me.''It's been said that what makes me accessible to people-aside from The Apprentice showing how I operate in the business world-is that I've faced tremendous adversity. It's something everyone can relate to. The difference may be in the amount of zeros after the numbers, but the point is, people can relate to difficulties. For example, I had such an amazing reversal of fortune in the early 1990s that I am listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest financial turnaround in history. I don't recommend anyone aim for the same goal, but when you've been on the financial high wire, it gives you a certain perspective that might be helpful to other people.

That's a bit existential but when you're down a few billion dollars in the red, it can make you think in new dimensions . . . '.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jon Sweeney, a self-described 'evolved Protestant' and noted religious writer, has long been fascinated by the Catholic Church. However, it wasn't until he was a young missionary in the Philippines that he truly began to understand the Church's traditions, mysteries, and religious beliefs and its hold on those who follow the tradition. As he explains, Catholic spirituality is all about responding to the fundamental mystery of Jesus, the incarnation, and what it all meant in the beginning as well as what it means today.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Praise For Trader Vic On Commodities'Victor Sperandeo is an extraordinary mentor, a 'wise and faithful advisor, friend, or teacher' as my dictionary says. His readers quote his advice long after reading his books. His new book, Trader Vic on Commodities, in some ways builds on his famous 2B rule, which is that you lose properly. This book, however, is really about winning and breaking new ground in commodities trading strategies. Sperandeo describes how an index that includes both traditional commodities and financial futures can provide a better inflation hedge-and more profitable trading strategy-than an investment in traditional commodities alone. The book is a treasure of statistical tables to show both the 'how to' and the validity of Sperandeo's trading strategies. Readers will find him still, as Barron's titled him years ago, Trader Vic: The Ultimate Wall Street Pro.'-Elizabeth B. Currier, President, The Committee for Monetary Research & Education'Trader Vic on Commodities will surely become one of the must-read books for anyone interested in trading commodities.'-Thomas Finley, Managing Director, Global Markets & Investment Banking, Merrill Lynch'Only the legendary Trader Vic Sperandeo could bring such clarity to what to most is a complex and indecipherable subject.
