" 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.

For
decades,
James Arthur
Wood Jr.
collected
original
cartoon
art, and
he also
was an editorial
cartoonist
as well
during his
long career.
After amassing
a large
collection
of original
drawings
by various
cartoon
artists,
he kindly
donated
his collection
to the Library
of Congress.
Recently,
staff members
at the Library
created
this very
nice online
collection
that contains
a selection
of these
materials.
The exhibition
is divided
into six
sections,
including
Imaginary
Worlds:
Illustration
and Punch
Lines: Gag
& Single
Panel Cartoons.
Each one
of these
sections
contains
a dozen
or so illustrations,
complete
with an
explanatory
paragraph
and bibliographic
information.
Some of
the many
gems include
a very humorous
illustration
by Peter
Arno depicting
a group
of middle-aged
socialites
and a very
fine gem
by Bill
Maudlin
depicting
Nikita Kruschhev
berating
a group
of artists.

While
many writers
have to
wait decades,
if not centuries,
after their
death to
receive
critical
or commercial
success,
Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
was lucky
to achieve
both during
his lifetime.
Born in
Portland,
Maine in
1807, he
was a figure
of national
prominence
by the 1850s,
and a much-beloved
professor
