I use Google Scholar. Usually, search for a few articles and papers about things that interest me (usually trying to find both sides of an argument) and read them either late at night (helps me sleep) or on a plane.

 I would say it was worth the money. I really liked chapter 6 “Great Questions to Ask”.

I got that one too … liked it. Read “Can I have 5 minutes of your time” … just ok, but an easy read. (I think publishers think salesmen are stupid. They all seem to written at the 8 year old level.) Gitomer’s better than both, I think.



Liked Against the Gods - that’s a cool look at risk. Thought I’d get more out of Warren Buffet’s book.

Penthouse.

On iTunes you can watch lectures from leading Universities for free. 
So doing a couple hours of Berkely, MIT, and Yale are far more valuable
to me than reading books, periodicals, blogs, etc.  A MIT prof named
Andrew Lo is exceptional as he is extremely well known in the hedge
fund world for his work on alpha generation.

Wicked ... new sources of information, timely and easy to access.

I like Jeremy Grantham’s quarterly commentary at www.gmo.com, Ivy Asset Strategy’s monthly commentary which can be found at www.ivyfunds.com.  I read Barron’s every weekend and I recently signed up for David Rosenberg’s commentary, which is usually emailed once or twice daily.  He is the former Merrill guy who is now with Gluskin Sheff in Canada.

I finished reading the M section in the phonebook today. Monday I will start on the Ns.
