Mr. Gekko said: "I'm happy to say Santa left quite a few books under my tree this year. Of them were a few dealing with finance, such as...
How I Made $2,000,000 in The Stock Market - by: Nicolas Darvas
...(thank you Rickster for bringing this one to my attention :th_dblthumb2: )
The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke - by: Suze Orman
...(I'm only two of those)
Rich Dad, Poor Dad - by: Robert Kiyosaki
...(my Dad said he was one of those)
and...
You Got Screwed! Why Wall Street Tanked and How You Can Prosper - by: Jim Cramer
...(his first book and hopefully better than his latest)
Has anyone read these?
I'll post reviews as I finish each."

the message behind it is still a good motivator though i'll give him that much...."
Mr. Gekko said: "I just started reading "You Got Screwed!" today. I'm about half-way through (it's a short book) but, so far it's gets a thumbs up. :thumbup: Again, I'll post a full review when I'm finished."
Harry said: "I like Suze Orman. I just can't stand listening to her. :whacky011:
She's got a board arsenal of general finanical ideas and points out a lot of traps.
I always thought "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" was more motivational and less substance. Tell me if I'm wrong after you read it."

That was my impression of the book as well. I just put it on my Christmas list out of curiosity. I'll post a review after a read it... might be a while though."
