Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
Excellent book... read this at least once every year.
Now don't say you have the pdf file... you should have a book which you can hold in your hands and read few pages every night.

The Process of Judging an Investment Process
A couple weeks ago I looked some of the reasons behind the fact that smart money tends to chase past performance. I received a couple of good follow-up questions from people in the industry who were curious about my thoughts on how to judge a portfolio manager or investment process.
Putting together a portfolio using a manager-of-managers approach is extremely difficult. Not only is it tough to beat the market, but it’s also very hard to put together the right type of organization and team in place that can successfully perform the due diligence and monitoring required to judge a group of money managers.

Norway's Biggest Bank Demands Cash Ban
Why are governments suddenly so keen to ban physical cash?
The answer appears to be that the banks and government authorities are anticipating bail-ins, steeply negative interest rates and hefty fees on cash, and they want to close any opening regular depositors might have to escape these forms of officially sanctioned theft. The escape mechanism from bail-ins and fees on cash deposits is physical cash, and hence the sudden flurry of calls to eliminate cash as a relic of a bygone age — that is, an age when commoners had some way to safeguard their money from bail-ins and bankers’ control.

Markets are off 20% from their all time highs.
Good support is expected around 7200. If this breaks, we have even stronger support around 6500 levels.
In other words, if you are a long term investor, the region between 6500 and 7200 will offer good investment opportunities.

Is China's "National Team" Now Bailing Out US Markets?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/20/2016 - 17:13
Many people wondered what the trigger for today's massive short-squeeze was. We may have found the answer.Right as the "Most Shorted" stocks started to soar, someone decided to buy offshore Yuan with both hands and feet (yes in the middle of the US day session). This held up until the NY close... and now offshore Yuan is fading back fast. So did China's "National Team" step in to save the world today?
War On Cash Escalates: China Readies Digital Currency, IMF Says "Extremely Beneficial"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/20/2016 - 19:20
Remember when Bitcoin and its digital currency cohorts were slammed by authorities and written off by the elite as worthless? Well now, as the war on cash escalates, officials from The IMF to China are seeing the opportunity to control the world's money through virtual (cash-less) currencies. Just as we warned most recent here, state wealth control is the goal and, as Bloomberg reports, The PBOC is targeting an early rollout of China's own digital currency to "boost control of money" and none other than The IMF's Christine Lagarde added that "virtual currencies are extremely beneficial."

Nifty Can Bounce Till 8200-8400 Followed by Crash Again
Nifty Can Bounce Till 8200-8400 Followed by Crash Again – Analysis on 17 Jan 2016
Nifty opened gap up at 7561 but failed to sustain at higher levels and trade with weakness for rest of the day. Nifty declined more than 130 points from day’s high to register day’s low of 7427 before closing huge 99 points down at 7437.
On Friday, I expected a decline below 7425 again without breaking above 7633 and suggested to buy Nifty puts as stoploss was huge. Nifty declined till 7427 without breaking above 7633 and all Nifty put were near to double. Let’s have a fresh look at latest Nifty charts for latest scenario.
