However, I did notice one glaring mistake in the options section. The loss on writing a naked call in the example provided should not be 64,250. It should have been 4,250. The authors forget the fact that you do get back 60,000 when you sell the shares at the strike price of $60. So, if you are a novice, you may be misled by this blunder. So exercise caution. And when in doubt, check with some one who knows more about the topic. I am not even an expert in finance, but the mistake was obvious even if you use plain commonsense. Wonder how the authors missed it. Rating: 4 / 5 This is a good book for the beginner to understand the basics of money & investing. However, I did notice one glaring mistake in the options section.

What I have to say is that this book is confusing. If you do not know anything about money and ivesting, do not, and I say do not, buy or read this book. Now if you want to define some financial terms, this will help, a little. Rating: 2 / 5 I’m 15 and I read this book. What I have to say is that this book is confusing.

It covers items so basic that one would have to have been raised in a cave to not know 90+% of what is covered. I was very disappointed. Rating: 2 / 5 This book should be given a pass.

]]> Comment on Garmin Lithion Ion Battery for 500 & 550 Portable GPS Navigator by Timothy B. Riley http://www.guides4investment.com/garmin-lithion-ion-battery-for-500-550-portable-gps-navigator/comment-page-1/#comment-1173 Timothy B. Riley Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:43:21 +0000 http://www.guides4investment.com/garmin-lithion-ion-battery-for-500-550-portable-gps-navigator/#comment-1173 I bought this battery to go with my Nuvi 500. I already own a Nuvi 750 but this battery is one of the reasons that I bought the 500. Unlike most other Nuvi's (and most other automotive GPS receivers) the 500 and the 550 have a user interchangeable battery (the 880 does as well). If you use your GPS primarily in your car this is not a big deal. However, my favorite thing about the Nuvi's is that I can carry them in my pocket as I explore a new city or ever a park or wildlife area. I even have a bicycle mount for it. My 750 only gave me about 3 hours of use before it had to be recharged. Although I am not getting the "up to 8 hours" of power that the manufacturer suggests for the 500 I am getting a solid 5 hours of use with the backlight set at 50%. If I still want more, that's where this battery comes in. A quick switch and I have another 5 hours of GPS guidance. Thank you Garmin for adding this feature to your latest GPS units!

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:54:22 +0000 http://www.guides4investment.com/the-clean-tech-revolution-the-next-big-growth-and-investment-opportunity/#comment-1171 I am thrilled at the number of 5-star reviews for this book, especially those who said there was "no hype". This book is driven by hype. It is flat cheerleading for alternative energy and related businesses. If you get an overview of solar, wind and other alternative energy sources, you will be much better material on the free online sites to see how the American Wind Energy Association. If I have a book - as opposed to only download information from a Web page, however - I expect them to rise to a higher level. This book is not complete. It gives you an overview in order if you have no familiarity with these companies, but there's an easier way to achieve this goal. And if you are familiar with this area, this book is worthless. There are so many excellent blogs on energy, there really is no excuse for this fluff. Go read the 1001 R-Squared, or other major blogs and you will be better. Oh - and she not only does not like nuclear energy as a carbon-free energy do. . . they do not even say why, cemented his place in this book as pure propaganda.   Rating: 2 / 5 I am thrilled at the number of 5-star reviews for this book, especially those who said there was "no hype".

In "The Clean Tech Revolution, Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder did not have a good job with an overview of the current status of this very broad area in terms of the VC financing of major topics. I found the "Smart Grid" and "Clean-tech marketing" chapter done particularly well. But the role of "cleaner coal" technologies should have been disregarded. In fact, coal remains a very important source of electricity in the U.S., China and India and their impact on GHGs is extremely important!   Rating: 4 / 5 As co-founder of the California Clean Tech Open and clean-tech marketer, I have a lot of time analyzing business plans for clean-output tech companies.

Sin taxes will cause backlash. Cap and trade - yes, carbon taxes - possibly, but sin taxes - under any circumstances. On the other hand, Pernick and Wilder have compiled an excellent reference for green investors.   Rating: 3 / 5 I hope we are not trying to abandon altruistic appeal, and recommends implementation of sin taxes in this book.
