Gyroscopic Investing

I am giving away some personal finance books for free. I have memorized them already, or have digital versions. You can have them for free, but we have to come to an agreement about USPS Media Mail shipping (the recipient has to pay for shipping).

The New Case for Gold by Jim Rickards - "This excellent book proves that, contrary to the propaganda of fiat currency apologists, gold is real money. Rickards makes a compelling case for why those looking for a way to protect themselves and their families from economic chaos created by central bankers should consider gold." -- Ron Paul , former Congressman and Presidential candidate

DIY Financial Advisor by Wes Gray - IY Financial Advisor outlines a step-by-step process through which investors can take control of their hard-earned wealth and manage their own family office.

The Charles Schwab Guide to Finances After Fifty by Carrie Schwab - Here at last are the hard-to-find answers to the dizzying array of financial questions plaguing those who are age fifty and older

Is the Charles Schwab book a good one? First I've heard of it.

It's a good basic primer into a lot of pre-retirement topics.

Congratulations to both you and the person who is getting them!

Guys, do you have an access to b-ok.org ? This is the largest electronic library I have an access to, there are gazillion of books for free (well to be precise - a tad below 11.5 millions) - on financial matters too. To be honest, quite often I download a book and have a glimpse - if I really like what I read in the first 30-40 pages, I go and buy it through Amazon, even though I have the possibility to still read it for free - I know, it might sound strange, but give me some sort of personal relief that I support a tiny bit the author ...

PS. Did a quick check and the above mentioned site did not let me down - only Buy Gold and Silver Safely by Doug Eberhardt from ochotona's list is not available, the rest are existent there - either as PDFs, or EPUBs...

I do have access to it. Have not yet set up an account to sign in but definitely will.

Thanks!

This is what you see once you start the registration process:

Just did a search on Rickards and looks like all his books are available?

Have never bothered making a registration, guest account has served me well for years (and I can't download and read more than 5 books a day, anyway

... and many more ...

Rickards said that in 2018 the global financial system was going to collapse, and that gold and alternatives were our only saviours.


I’m still waiting.

It seems that b-ok.org is a pirate site. None of the money you're paying goes to the authors. You might as well just go to a "real" pirate site and get it for free if you're going to use b-ok.org.

Nope, I did not say that I am paying to that site (which is indeed pirate site) - see what I stated above - I go and buy it through Amazon

I guess we now know that there's at least one Fed who is a fan of the Permanent Portfolio.

I remember googling a quote from a book once and ending up at a book piracy site with the full text of a novel. These bastards, i thought. Unscrupulous. I’ll just copy some of this before I go….
