4 Stars This Is No Ordinary Book On Make Money!
* When I first read this book, I was totally amazed on how much mistakes that I have done concerning my job.

* You will look on more different ways to stay ahead and be control for your financial income.

* I have more fun in life now as I manage to change my thinking of making money, thanks to the tips given in this book.

5 Stars Wonderful
I don’t own a business but the tips in here are “life tips” not necessarily “money” tips. A great book with some wonderful “life” advise.

3 Stars Essays and reflections on the process of making money
I bought my copy in an used bookshop in Surfers Paradise, Australia.. decided to take back home because of the honest, down to earth advice that some pages exhibit.

I have forund it to be valuable as frequent reading, one chapter at a time and in a random order.. its my opinion the book will be much more valuable if you have already started your process of committment to making money. By that, I mean your inner process, its the part of thinking that creates the path to action (that you must take).

Do it frequently, there is seldom time to talk to a friend who can advice you like this book.

3 Stars Mediocre
I don’t think I finished reading this book. It seemed like the same ol’ same ol’ chicken soup stuff. I found nothing new in the half of it that I read.

5 Stars Create abundance with this book!
Let’s not kid ourselves: there are perhaps thousands of books dedicated to motivating people, getting them closer to success, and so on. I have read a dozen or so of those books, but this one clearly stands out in my mind.

This book is separated into 100 easy-to-read chapters, which makes it much easier to manage the messages therein. Simply read at your own pace, digest, and implement. The honest and humorous writing makes it actually fun to read and look forward to future chapters.

Basically, this book tells you how to create abundance, whether through savings, change of perception, acquisition of friends, or other methods. The message is overwhelmingly positive and downright inspirational, as it should be. After reading the book, you will be inspired to take action and reach your goals as a happier, more fulfilled person.

I highly recommend this book!

The Wallstrip TM Edge Using Trends to Make Money Find Them Ride Them and Get Off

The Wallstrip TM Edge Using Trends to Make Money Find Them Ride Them and Get Off




It’s been often observed that anyone who invests in the stock market needs to have a very strong sense of humor….indeed; no truer words were ever spoken.

And the truth is, Howard Lindzon took that observation quite literally. Indeed, Howard’s creation — Wallstrip.com — has become just that - a total melding of humor and investing, or as the New York Times observed about Wallstrip - “It’s Squawk Box meets Saturday Night Live.” Wallstrip.com pulls in between 5 and 7 million visitors a year, and the show’s rabid following includes stock market enthusiasts, venture capitalists, traders, and others who tune in to hear, see, and talk about what’s happening in the markets.

If you haven’t been to Wallstrip.com, well, you’re in for a real treat. Lindzon’s parodies are priceless. And in THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard captures his most unusual (but very smart) approach to how he picks winners, and you can too.

In THE WALLSTRIP EDGE, Howard Lindzon shows readers how to profit from his straightforward investment philosophy — a unique trend watching philosophy that makes Wallstrip.com such an amazing phenomenon, including how to look at trends from a different perspective, knowing when to buy a certain stock, how to hold it, and of course when to sell. It’s all done using the power of the Internet and your own instincts. It’s a surprisingly simple (and fun) strategy that works, and best of all, you don’t need to be a financial genius to make it work for you.

5 Stars Advice from a non-academic
I’ve read Howard’s blog for about two years. The book is written in the same style- in Howard’s voice. It is filled with information you can use now whether you’re a seasoned trader or a part-time stock investor. His recommendations do not discriminate by the amount of money you have and the advise is practical. You don’t have to have a Ph.D. in Economics to understand it. Best of all, Howard practices what he preaches. It is not some theoretical dissertation on how the market should work. He goes through his investing process (winners and losers) in both the public and private markets and you get a front seat long for the ride. The cherry on top is that he’s incredibly funny. If you buy one investment book this year, this is the one.

5 Stars Fantastic and fun book that arms people to pick stocks with basic research and simple guides
Whereas most pundits would advise you to buy “cheap stocks,” Howard details how money can be made in stocks like TASR, CROX, HANS, CME, etc. When I was on Wall Street, these were the very stocks that my hedge fund clients made their most significant profits in.

While market conditions as a whole make individual stock picking difficult at best, quarters from now, individuals will return to the market. And they will do so with a lost confidence in the large insitutions to protect and grow their savings in funds that were previously called “safe.”

In this new market, I think individuals will be required to be more self-sufficient. This book arms people to pick stocks with basic research and simple guides. Howard debunks concepts such as “Averaging down,” which can be really dangerous to individuals, and “being too late,” which can prevent individuals from getting in on winners.

There are also interesting comparisons and learnings from the venture market with quasi interviews from leading VCs such as Fred Wilson and Brad Feld.

The book only has passing references to Wallstrip; it is very much a simple and straightforward guide to research followed by technical analysis. The technical advice boils down to trend following with an introduction to Average True Range (ATR). ATR is a valuable metric that allows investors to sell out of positions when a stock moves down below a typical average move

The book is great…

5 Stars Learn from a Pro
The Wallstrip Edge is a great book to learn about how successes and failures build/destroy companies.

It is also a place to learn about trending following and how stocks should be evaluated.

Howard Lindzon has done a great job of showing how to find stocks, how to hold them and finally how to build liquidity once a company has had its run.

Through his personal experiences and interviews with other start-up entrepreneurs and venture capitalists you can gain some great insight as to how great companies are constructed. Equally, you can see why other companies have failed.

When you start to look at the stock market as something you use everyday (like Amazon, Starbucks, Ebay, etc.) than you can start to realize that stocks are not just pieces of imaginary paper, but living products.

5 Stars Not Your Typical Investment Book
Wallstrip was all about trend following and how to profit from it in the stock market. Lindzon’s book expands on the background and practical implementation of this strategy which he has employed successfully in both the public and private markets for over 10 years.

Full of hard earned wisdom and humor, the book is both entertaining and informative. Highly Recommended!

1 Star Wallstrip Was A Failure
This book is idiotic. Wallstrip was a horrible show and a terible investment for CBS which is why they killed the show after never making a nickle with it. The show was a money loser, but hey you can always write a book.

3 Stars 1001 Ways to be a bit bored
I hate to say this since I have most of Lilly Walters’ books and absolutely live by them in my consulting/speaking business, but this book held very few surprises or new ideas for me. For me, though, the best part and worth the price of the book was the Glossary of Terms. Totally invaluable.

1 Star you can’t tell this book by its title
This book is a major rip-off. Its title leads you to believe you’ll get ideas that you can immediately put into action to generate relatively immediate sales. Allow me to quote some random examples:

#385: Focus your marketing efforts on those companies and industries that can afford to pay for your services.

#393: Market to your best bets first–those you are fairly sure will buy.

#766: Keep a map of your country and world map with time zones, zip codes, and telephone area codes.

#1189: Get it in writing.

She even includes a couple of tips on what to do if you receive a suspicious parcel — a bomb, I presume.

The bomb is this book. Her tips are not about making more money. They’re about walking and chewing gum at the same time. It’s a great book for rank beginners. But she should change the title. The only reason why it gets any star at all is because Amazon won’t allow us to give zero stars. I suppose she gets a star for good spelling.

5 Stars Public speaking your way to wealth
A terrific read. Lilly has compiled a detailed list of tips and tricks that would be helpful to anyone in the communication game. Experienced speakers will certainly find something in this book for them. I know i did, all that is left to do now is to public speak my way to wealth.

5 Stars Great for Brainstorming Profitable Ideas
Lilly Walters has assembled a collection of terrific ways to create new income streams, get more bookings, generate publicity and more. The book is a series of short tips and ideas that got my brain popping. A quick perusal left my copy dotted with sticky notes marking pages containing ideas I can use now and in the future. I am currently working through the book, a section at a time, putting the tips into action.

Although absolute beginners may want more detail for some tips, wherever you are in your speaking career you will certainly find some gems to help you become a better, more successful (and profitable!) speaker. Beginners looking for more information should also read “Speak and Grow Rich” and other excellent books on building a speaking career.
