不被医生杀死的47心得

朋友老刘看到我拿这本书，简直就是吓到了。。。这类书我好像第一次看（老了，越来越怕死了，哈哈）。。。因此，老刘还以为我病了。在此，借这个机会跟大家交代一下：本人除了肠胃问题惯性的到访以外，其它一切安好。谢谢大家的关心。。。读这本书纯粹是想补充关于养生的心得。。。想活久一点，就那么简单，呵呵。。。

这还真的是一本很奇特的书。作者非常有勇气的揭露很多作者所谓的心得和真相。基于本人对于医药领域并不是很在行，因此我很难去判断书里的真伪。好彩，家里有两个未来医生（侄儿）。因此，还真的要和他俩求证一下。。。

抛开真假的问题。。。再假设这本书的论点是正确的。。。哇！这还真的是医学界的一大批判！！！诚如书中所说。。。这是一本“你去医院之前非读不可的救命书”。。。读者们必须放下无谓的惯性念头，以免错失接受另类观点的可能性。我个人还蛮能接受作者的几个论点。比方说，“癌症是误诊最多的疾病”，“早睡早起的健康法”，“癌症越治疗越短命，放着不管越好”等等都是我个人非常推崇的说法。恰巧娱乐圈高凌风高大哥就是一个活生生的例子。高大哥选择不治疗的手法一开始就得到各界的关注。诚如作者所说，治疗只能给身体带来无谓和多余的痛楚。关于治疗的真正意义有时还真的太肤浅了。。。

这本书肯定会引起很多人的热烈讨论。论坛上已经不断的有两群人在互相攻击。。。我的看法是，预防始终胜过治疗。因此，作者第五章（健康活到百岁的生活心得）真的值得大家关注。评分方面，如果书里所说的是事实，作者的这本勇气之作真的值得满分。但，基于个人还想向两个侄儿求证，10分满分暂且给个7分。希望求证后能帮作者平反，让这本书帮助更多的人获得健康。。。

The Little Book of Trading: Trend Following Strategy for Big Winnings

After so many years, Michael Covel's book remains one of my favorite. So far, this is the only book that remains on my shelf for quite some time. Well, just a little book... and another trend following stuff... so, never really eagerly wanna touch it, LOL... After all, I do not want to have repetition on the same theory again and again… However, a buddy thought I love this type of books and it was a special gift from him after some special assignment…

End up… surprisingly… it is still my cup of tea. I thought there is little new under the sun. But, I ended up having few ah-ha moments as below that really inspired me:

Many people over the years trading with scared money – meaning they would make decisions on the value of money to them and not follow the exact rules of their trading plan.

This is not saying that you want to put all your eggs in one basket, that’s not the concept, but the idea is that your weightings of the markets don’t need to be uniform.

Trend following trading is not about being a hero. Said another way, it is not about being right in your opinion, but rather about winning in the long run.

Even though Harding has been very frank, there is some reticence. He knows talking too much about trend following is a retrograde step for his business’s commercial prospects. Why would a competitive man want to encourage you to become the next millionaire? He doesn’t have a mission to spread trend following wisdom or propagate this style of trading. He is not interested in sponsoring academic trend following courses or making the world a better place filled with wealthy trend following traders. He is entrepreneurial man who, after all, wants to win.

The markets are ever evolving. But, certain criteria are forever constant. Changing markets is what we make money off of… If you’ve done your trend trading homework properly, you don’t have to adapt your trend following nonstop to whatever is perceived as world change.

After so many years in this industry… if certain theories still inspires traders (me and my group of friends particularly), the said theories must have its logic and sense behind it. I am with the author in this case since I had been practicing it since day one… Having said that, I find no reason not to rate this book as high as 10/10. After all, stories in the book are real adventures and real insight experiences from experts that had survived for more than a decade. I know readers used to have doubts whether Michael Covel himself is a real trader. In my humble opinions; good traders may not be writing books. So, there is nothing wrong for a good author not to trades… Most important thing is… can we find some gem in this book that inspires us? I think Michael Covel achieve that even though it is just a “little book”… Thumbs up for the hard works!!! Well done…

Portfolio Optimization and Performance Analysis

This could be a very boring book thanks to the complex formulas throughout the book… At the end… yes, it is. It is a real boring book… Tons of formulas and tons of concepts that I might not need it in the first place, LOL…

In fact, I was forced to read on this book by a friend (Ok, potential customer, LOL). I was asked to refer to this book on how to present my trading ideas in a proper way. Gosh… I am backed to academic for a wrong reason. Hey; I thought my end results more important??? Well, people love to have this type of so called “proper” presentation. In real world, how much proper stuff ended up in profitable manners? Hmm...Food for thoughts today…

Having said that… I found myself lost when I am trying to rate this book. This could be a very good book or very bad book depends on a reader’s intention in exploring this book. As mentioned above, I was forced to read this book in the first place. As such, I could not find anything great inside this book. So, allow me to skip in rating this book. I think I am not the appropriate person to judge it. The only thing I know about this book is… this is a real boring book!!! LOL…
