Techniques of a Professional Commodity Chart Analyst
The Thinking Person's Approach to Commodity Market SuccessCommodity trading is done in one of two ways: Automated computerized buying and selling, or analyzing commodity pricing through the use of charts to time trades and spot trends before they peak. Arthur Sklarew's Techniques of a Professional Commodity Chart Analyst weighs in forcefully in the latter camp.This is a very practical book, written in clear and direct prose by an analyst who spent a lifetime mining the secrets of commodity price trends. Much of what is presented here is the author's original work, accompanied by many illustrations. Trading strategies are offered as objective guides to a reasoned approach to decisions regarding what and when to buy and sell. Using his "Rule of Seven", "17-35 Measurements," and other techniques allows even a novice trader to spot price trends, estimate the distance a new price will travel, locate logical points to place "buy" and "sell" stops, and identify potential trend reversal thresholds.Sklarew's approach also emphasizes the thrill of trading by using skills to call the play and take satisfaction in being on top of the market zeitgeist, as well as profiting from it. The trading strategies offered here do not call for a battery of computing power; they can be practiced at home with nothing more than working with the day's quotes gleaned from a daily newspaper or posting. Buy and read this book if using your intellect while working the market is your idea of having fun when maximizing investments. The valuable insights gained from Sklarew's book may pay for it many times over in a single trade. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1648374107).

Sustainable Business in the Arab Region
Existing research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is written from a largely Westernized viewpoint, but what is the relationship between CSR, organizational - and wider - culture on the sustainability of businesses in the Arab region? Also, what impact do Islamic beliefs and values have on ethical business practices? Randa Diab-Bahman explores the understanding and expression of CSR in an Arab context; through a qualitative pilot study with prominent CSR experts (people with leading roles in CSR in the private, public and non-profit sector) in a predominately Islamic setting. Sustainable Business in the Arab Region confirms the importance of cultural elements in influencing the understanding and expression of CSR. Interestingly, the importance of the Islamic religion and specific aspects of its religious doctrine are found to be particularly important to understanding why CSR may be expressed differently in an Arab context. The implications of these findings are important for policymakers, as it can help them better align their CSR initiatives and better understand their possible impact on stakeholders. Not only relevant to those researching CSR across different organizational cultures, the findings here are important to anyone doing sustainable business globally.

That's why we created Tennessee Real Estate License Exam Prep (TN-RELEP) the way we did. Since we have been managing real estate schools and developing curriculum for forty years, we know how all this works - or fails to work.TN-RELEP is comprehensive in that it contains both key content review and testing practice. And the text review is Tennessee-specific - not just simplistic national content, but terse, relevant and accurate Tennessee laws and regulations presented as a well-organized set of state 'key point reviews' ideal for pre-test memorization. But let's not dismiss the importance of the national content either. TN-RELEP's national key point reviews are a succinct compression of tested national principles and practices that comprise the national portion of state license exams from coast to coast. Our content is drawn from our own national textbook, Principles of Real Estate Practice - one of the most widely used principles textbooks in the country. Finally, our national content, as well as our question selection, is further tailored to the state testing outline promulgated by PSI for Tennessee. Thus the breadth and depth of the law reviews and test questions reflect the topic emphasis of your state's testing service and your Tennessee license exam.A word about the test questions... TN-RELEP's testing practice section consists of ten national practice tests, five state practice tests, and one state exam sample test. The practice tests are roughly 50 questions in length and the sample test is 100 questions. The test questions are designed to cover the content covered by the law reviews - which reinforces your learning of the total body of information tested by your state exam. The questions are direct, to the point, and designed to test your understanding. When you have completed a given test, you can check your answers against the answer key in the appendix. You may also note that each question's answer is accompanied by a brief explanation, or "rationale" to further reinforce your understanding.In the end, as you know, it's all up to you. Unlike other publications, we are not going to tell you that using this book will guarantee that you pass your state exam. It still takes hard work and study to pass. But we have done our best here to get you ready. Following that, the most we can do is wish you the best of success in taking and passing your Tennessee real estate exam.

The Wealth Algorithm for IT Consultants
The Finance Manual Your Advisor Doesn't Want You to ReadWhether you're already an independent IT consultant or considering becoming one, you probably have some questions and concerns about your finances: how can you make the most of your money, minimize your taxes, maximize your returns, and protect your personal and family wealth for the future? Perhaps you're thinking about retirement and wondering whether you'll have enough to see you through your later years. Or maybe you're earlier in your professional journey, and you simply want to enjoy the benefits of your hard work now without worrying whether you'll have enough money for times when you're "between clients."Independent Consultants like you are typically a lot better off than the average Joe (or Jill), which means you get approached a lot more than most people by financial advisors. But how do you know whether the advice you're getting is not just right, but right for you?The key is to realize that you're not just a consultant; you are also a business owner. And as a business owner, you get to play by a whole different set of rules when it comes to planning your finances and paying your taxes.Inside the pages of this book, you'll discover seven Broken Paradigms: standard advice and ways of thinking that the finance industry applies because, most of the time, they work (if you're a salaried employee). But they break when advisors apply those paradigms to an incorporated business like yours. The result is a financial environment in which many Independent Consultants miss out on investment opportunities, accept lower returns than they could be making, and pay more tax than they should.Eric Chevrette has dedicated his career to helping independent professionals to take full advantage of the benefits and advantages they enjoy as business owners. So, by the time you've read this book, you'll have all the information you need to know whether you're getting the right advice, and to address those critical questions and concerns.
