The Tips
Author: Bill Walker
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 164300980X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The stock market is the backbone of the country's financial market. Pension accounts, 401(k) accounts, individual retirement accounts-depend on having successful investments in the stock market. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) govern the protection of the stock market. We trust them to protect our investments from fraud, scams, and illegal acts, and punish those who do wrong and oversee the orderly marketplace. But what happens when those who are there to protect look the other way and take bribes? The brokerage firm of Jones & Wood Securities, with headquarters in Florida, has just hired Johnathan Nelson. He is a stockbroker working with clients and helping them make successful investments. Johnathan's trainer is one of the most successful brokers in the firm, and the tips he gives his clients are always right. How can a broker always be right? But corruption is eventually brought to his attention. A man only known as the informant claims to know of corruption in the SEC and NASD agencies, that police the brokerage firms for illegal acts. The stock tips are not successful because of brilliant brokers but the result of a crooked firm. What is the source of these successful tips? Information comes from the heads of the SEC and NASD to the firm before it becomes public knowledge. This an illegal act of insider information. The firm never gets caught because of its connections to the ruling body of the stock market. Everyone gets rich, and retirement on some tropical island for all involved is around the corner. There is a need for one more score. But Johnathan wants to put a stop to it. He knows that the way others get rich is at the sacrifice of the losses of others. Not everyone can make a profit. He wants to expose the firm and those involved in this scheme so he can protect the public that will be the losers. Danger can be involved in this for himself and those he cares about. The help of the informant, now known to Johnathan, and others must act quickly before it is too late. This will require them all to move to Australia for safety.

Mousejunkies!
Author: Bill Burke
Publisher: Travelers' Tales
ISBN: 1609521021
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
A guidebook with a decidedly different approach, “Mousejunkies! 3rd Edition” is a collection of humorous travelogues and insider how-to secrets compiled after scores of trips to Walt Disney World. The book draws on the insights of a panel of Disney fanatics — The Mousejunkies — following dozens of personal vacations, trade shows and press trips in recent years. This third edition brings everything up to date with countless new tips, tricks, and tales. “Mousejunkies!” provides tips and travel plans told through personal accounts – something that sets it apart from all the other guides. All of the most important topics are covered: When to go, where to stay, what to do and where to eat. But readers will also learn Zen and the art of not melting down under the Florida sun, how to extract your family from Fantasmic with your sanity intact, where to catch a mid-afternoon catnap in the theme parks, and even how wrong things go when Epcrotch strikes. “Mousejunkies!” is more than one travel writer’s experiences at one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. The Mousejunkies are a group of seemingly well-adjusted adults who have found themselves inexplicably drawn to Walt Disney World, again and again. Each has taken his or her own path, finding their way separately. When the smoke cleared, the group found itself back in reality, staring at one another over a pile of discarded annual passes and a useless collection of novelty hats. The stories - wry, humorous and told with an affection gained through years of Disney addiction - paint vivid portraits of a creatively engineered world, where unexpected surprises create lasting memories. The tips – valuable information designed to help readers get more out of their vacations – are told with a sly wink and the desire to share the secrets that make trips to central Florida more memorable. From touring plans to tongue-in-cheek reviews of the theme parks’ restrooms, “Mousejunkies!” provides readers with useful information couched in obsessively-detailed narrative with a humorous touch.

Tortured Tales of a Collingwood Tragic
Author: James Gilchrist
Publisher: Connor Court Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Not what the Americans call soccer, nor what the Brits call football: Australian Rules footy holds a fascination for most Aussies that few outsiders can understand. But nothing compares to the Greek tragedy of being a Collingwood supporter - those unfortunate souls bound by love and duty to the Collingwood Magpies AFL Team. From the age of seven, James Gilchrist was consumed by one of the most dangerous and masochistic addictions known to humanity. More self-destructive than smoking, drinking or methamphetamines: Collingwood. Tortured Tales of Collingwood Tragic is the story of one boy’s struggle to become a man despite the pain of drawn Grand-Finals, boundary-line incidents, the schoolyard taunts of Carlton-loving scumbags and even the awkwardness of coming to terms with his own fellow supporters. This updated third edition culminates in the gripping climax of the 2023 Grand Final. Could redemption - for James, and for his beloved Magpies - be possible?

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1447860985
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Special edition of this popular paperback with bonus photo section and a brand new final chapter which brings the story up to date. When scriptwriters Georgina Sowerby and Brian Luff began recording podcasts in their spare bedroom in 2005, they had no way of knowing what an adventure they were embarking upon. Sex Tips for Pandas is the story of a couple from London whose podcasts touched the hearts of thousands and propelled them on a bizarre and comical trip around the world. It's also an intimate, often confessional book about a relationship, and a tantalizing glimpse at the none-too-glamorous side of the entertainment industry. For Brian and Georgina podcasting was an obsessive shared interest, a form of escapism from the real world which became the very glue that held their often difficult and complicated relationship together. Sprinkled throughout with showbiz anecdotes and bitchy behind-the-scenes gossip, Sex Tips For Pandas will amuse you, entertain you and ultimately inspire you.
