Some deals go bad...I have a few books I'd like to recommend if you guys have some stocks I should be looking at. I mostly buy and hold and like good CEO's. I'm not afraid of STOP SIGN PK's because most of them trading over $1 are really undervalued just might be majority owned by one person. Here is a starter book and movie list just for fun to wash down the flames of ITKH...
Books- (Get these on amazon for $3 each and enjoy!)

"McColl" The man with America's Money (story about Hugh McCall making Nations Bank into Bank of America)

"Cable Cowboy" The story about John Malone (my favorite media guy!)


"Meet Julius Abernethy" (This book is way out of print but I found some on Amazon, his grandson is on my board but this is an amazing story of stocks and the south) Highly recommended.

"How to be Rich" by J Paul Getty old book but great reading...

"Fuqua" (this is the story of JB Fuqua from Georgia and the conglomerate wave and how he took a pinksheet and built into a billion dollar conglomerate that inspired me to try it)

"Tandy's Time Machine" (this is the pre radio shack days and how Charles Tandy took a pinksheet leather company and turned it into Radio Shack)

"LING- The making of a Texas Titan" great book about James J. Ling the conglomerate king of the go go 1960's way out of print but if you can get one, great reading on how he sold stock at the texas state fair and from that to almost 4-billion company before imploding in the early 1970's...great stock book.

"The Magic of Mergers" s story about Meshulam Riklis the guy who married the blond from Green Acres and built a billion dollar conglomerate all from trading stocks and merging..."

All these books are old and no one knows about and really off the wall but make good solid reading about real stock market operators and strong "real men" CEO's.

I would appreciate any book or movie recommendations you might have.

Movies;

Limit Up
Other Peoples Money
Millionaire
Barbarians at the Gate
Youtube search these title for free on the Cable Center and listen to how these guys made it...I know Frank.
John Malone
Frank Drendel

Side recommendations: Magnum PI all seasons I wish I had friends like Rick and TC., Remington Steel and Hart to Hart!

Thanks for taking an interest in my recommendations I hope I gave you some things you normally wouldn't know about. Merry Christmas...
