Book Release "
How I Trade for a Living"
by Gary Smith
The
dream of many traders and
active investors is to be
able to successfully trade
from home and make a living
at it. While publications
exist which cover trading
strategies by analysts, fund
managers, and pundits, there
is virtually nothing available
by someone who is trading
from home successfully.
"How
I Trade for a Living"
is a trading strategy by someone
who has been trading from
home profitably for over fifteen
years. Gary Smith, a well-known
and lauded member in the trading
community, explains what it
takes to be a home-based trader,
from the mental grit to the
basic hardware. He outlines
his profitable trading strategies,
which can be utilised for
trading in individual stocks,
options and bonds, and shows
exactly how he uses them to
trade stock index futures
and mutual funds. This excellent
and very popular book is available
from the Delamere International
Bookshop.

surveyed thought the problem

10. Immigration: New
E-3 Visa for Australians to
work in the USA
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = =
This
visa known as the E-3 Treaty
Professional Visa has an annual
quota for E-3 visas of 10,500.
This a very high quota, by
comparison only 900 Australians
succeeded in obtaining H-1B
work visas in 2004.
The H-1B work visa has an
annual cap of 65,000. This
quota applies to citizens
of all countries in the world,
while the E-3 Visa is available
to Australians only. If you
are an Australian citizen,
the E-3 visa can be easier
to obtain than the H-1B work
visa. E-3 work visas are temporary
visas, meaning that when the
visa expires, the individual
has to leave the United States.
E-3 work visas are usually
issued for 2 years. However,
E-3 visas maybe renewed indefinitely
(in two-year extensions).

Visa.

13. Travel: Reflection
of a Visit to Paris, France
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = = =
The
world of Paris in the 19th
century was one that might
be called a gaudy yet rich
mixture of cultural, social,
and other such delights. From
the poems of Baudelaire to
the architectural fancies
of the Second Empire, the
City of Lights became an icon
of all that was (and is) urban,
for good and for ill. Much
of this world can be explored
through a variety of visual
documents offered by this
ongoing project that is being
developed as part of the digital
projects initiative at Brown
University. Visitors to the
site can browse the materials
here by subject, title, or
by historical period.
The
site also contains a number
of historical essays that
provide additional background
to this subject. The essays
deal with the emerging condition
of modernity, panoramic literature,
and alienation in the city.
The site is rounded out by
a nice listing of additional
online resources dealing with
19th century France. Note
that the researchers are still
completing this site but it
is still worth checking out.
