A Missing Turtle Found in Plain Sight

Posted in Afterword, Book News | No Comments | Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

One Turtle I was unable to find during my book research process is 2nd from the left:

On $11 an Hour, Jersey Man Made Millions

Posted in Trading 101 | No Comments | Sunday, January 27th, 2008

An excerpt:

Paul Navone is one of those quiet millionaires next door. His friends had no idea he had money until he started giving it away — $1 million to a college and another $1 million to a prep school.
