    A Good Idea ?

    I was reading an investment book and came up with the following idea. Why not start a traveling free investment library ? I've got some interesting books I'd send free to other Mr.Market members . I'll pay postage if you agree to pass the book on to another member after reading. Members could also request specific books they're interested in. I'm sure many of you have business books collecting dust that would be of great interest to a Mr. Market member. Maybe we could limit it to members with at least 50 posts to be safe and encourage participation. If several members want the same book a name could be pulled out of a hat. Anyone else interested in this ? We could get 100's of books circulating.

    I like it. I have a couple of books I wouldn't mind sending.

      You might also create a Sticky thread that contains a list of each member's stock market-related books, with a "Recommended" or "Not Recommended" next to each and with a one-line explanation of why.

                MESA at Caesar's. How's that?

                Oh yeah, and you have to bring me a 1st edition of the book! (I just checked the price.)

                You'll still certainly get the best of the deal!

                You're a tequila connoisseur, right?


                Those guys wrote the freaking book:

                  Geez Stickey...You are so '70's...We like Nick and Stef's...Although Ford Filling Station is really good...Ben Ford...Harrison's son...We can walk there from our house...I was a bit put out the first time we went and they wouldn't seat us w/o a rez...Hey!!!...I'm Mr. Breakout...The Hostess said..."That Don't Impress Me Much"!!!...She was no Shania Twain...But we get in pretty easy now calling at 4 pm on Sat. nights for a rez.

                  BTW...Did you know that I was the inspiration for these songs???

                      Shania Twain! I can’t bear to look at her.

                      She’s so fine; it hurts my eyes to look at her. Bah
                      Ewww…I’m getting a headache just thinking about her.

                      I have a few books of Shania Twain (picture books) that I can lend.
                      I don’t think anyone here is interested.

                        Hey Stky.... I'll trade you my Hornady cartridge reloading (vol I & II) books and a really good cattle genetics (breeding) book for your Shania Twain picture books!

                        The basic "principles" in the genetics book could help you know what to look for in a wife someday.... Well.... if you're interested in improving your offspring that is.... hmmmmm.... on second thought, just study the Shania Twain picture books over and over and you'll be set....
                        BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!

                          Stky,
                          I'll offer you some Cheryl Tiegs picture books (you'll like her) plus a Wm.O'neil book or tape for your Shania Twain picture books. Lyehopper's book is probably from the 1800's anyway.

                            Hey BillyJoe

                            I did google Cheryl Tiegs..um yeah...she's pretty hot! and still looks good.

                            Hey does any one has old comic books (Spiderman, Hulk, Daredevil, etc) that they want to sell? I rather read comic books over school books any day.

                              I had a Cheryl Tiegs poster in my room when I was a teenager. I also had one of Farrah.... Farrah was HOTTTT!!!!.... Farrah! Farrah! Farrah! What happened to you!!!!???? She would be a very attractive lady today if she would have just stayed out of the plastic surgeon's office.
