Book Description
Perfect Fool: The Life and Career of Ed Wynn is the first-ever biography of the master comedian, chronicling a legendary career that spanned over half a century. It was Ed who coined this famous definition: "A comedian is not a man who says funny things; a comedian is a man who says things funny." Ed did both, first as a vaudeville and Ziegfeld Follies star, then as the "Perfect Fool" (so named from one of his many self-produced Broadway revues), as radio's "Fire Chief" on the popular Texaco-sponsored program, and as an early pioneer at the dawn of network television. He attained a level of praise and respect from his comedy peers, critics, and, of course, the public, rarely matched by any other comedian since. In his later years, he became a highly acclaimed dramatic character actor, much to the surprise and joy of all who didn't know he had it in him (including Ed himself). Yet for all his impressive achievements, this comedian/actor/director/writer has been too often overlooked in the years since his death in 1966. Perfect Fool is meant to help correct this injustice, with reviews, interviews, and never before published photos, some courtesy of grandson Tracy Keenan Wynn. This book is an appreciation of Ed Wynn's talents, foresight, and highly regarded ability to make people laugh virtually at will. About the Author: Garry Berman is an entertainment historian and freelance writer. His previous books include Best of the Britcoms, a celebration of the finest British situation comedies to appear on American television, and We're Going To See The Beatles!, an oral history of the Beatlemania era as told by the original generation of fans who lived it first-hand. Berman has also published a comic novel, Old Wave, and writes comedy scripts in between book projects. He lives in New Jersey with his wife Karen and their two spoiled dogs.

Book Description
What is unique to these top stock market performers? GameStop (GME) ran from $9.47 to $325 in 4 months. Riot Blockchain (RIOT) ran up from $2.64 to $71.30 in 7 months. Cassava Sciences (SAVA) ran up from $11.93 to $100 in 5 months. Plug Power (PLUG) ran up from $6.83 to $70 in 7 months. Moderna (MRNA) and Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) also fell in the same category. During their runs, none of them ever violated an uptrend. What new set of stocks could offer similar trends and returns? If such additional stocks were to present themselves, would you make proper decisions? What is a good decision? If one examined the worst trading (or life) mistake one made, at that precise moment of making that decision one thought it was a good decision. Otherwise, would you have made that decision in the first place? What would it be worth in dollars if that big mistake could have been avoided? Decision-making is a skill that can be learned. With enough practice, one can excel in proper decision-making. The stock market is a perfect training ground to master this art. Where else is there real consequence that is easily and quickly measurable with every decision made? The author's outlook about stock trading is simple. "You do not learn to walk, talk and run by reading books. You learn by doing. No different in the stock market. Or life. Ninety percent of the knowledge in life is learned by doing, not by reading about doing." Reviews: "Wow, so good! And to think I spent thousands in tuition to the market, trying to learn!" - Jennifer G, Trader-In-Training "When a stock speaks, you should listen," should have been the title! Thanks for the watchlist of potential new gems! Now, I just need to learn to make proper decisions. ---A. Greenberg, Master Chartist Of Over 40 Years "Thank you so much for presenting a book that made charts speak to me!" ---Adam J. "Read and learn to build your own watchlist of potential winners! That watchlist in the book, very interesting!" ---Larry F. "Well worth many-fold the subscription fees I pay for many stock-market services! Actual executable implementable knowledge in this book that can be used for a lifetime - it is priceless." ---J. O'Neill About the Author: Brad Koteshwar began trading Foreign Currency futures and Treasury Bond futures in the mid-eighties. He started trading stocks in 1987 and promptly experienced Black Monday 1987 first-hand. Having started his market experience with a major trading firm of the 1980s, he went on to work for himself in the 1990s. Now, approaching the end of his fourth decade in the markets, he leads a simple and uncomplicated life and uses the same simple uncomplicated approach to his stock market evaluation and activity. Many years have passed since his last book. But the lessons and the methods have not changed. The subtle art of speculation has not changed. He says that is because human beings do not change their emotions when it comes to money. The messages in the charts are clear, if only you can observe.

Welcome to Fool's Gold, California, a charming community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. There's lots to do and plenty of people to meet, especially women. Because there's just one tiny problem in Fool's Gold: the men don't seem to stick around. Maybe it's the lure of big-city life, or maybe it's plain old bad luck, but regardless of the reason, the problem has to be fixed, fast. And Charity Jones may be just the city planner to do it. Charity's nomadic childhood has left her itching to settle down, and she immediately falls in love with all the storybook town has to offer—everything, that is, except its sexiest and most famous resident, former world-class cyclist Josh Golden. With her long list of romantic disasters, she's not about to take a chance on another bad boy, even if everyone else thinks he's perfect just the way he is. But maybe that's just what he needs—someone who knows the value of his flaws. Someone who knows that he's just chasing perfect.
