It ain't what it used to be........2004-11-03
Like so many of the recent changes at IBD, the new IBD 2005 Desk Diary falls short. It is poorly constructed and the informative content of the newest diary is less than half of the 2004 version. Also, whereas the excellent format of the pages in the 2004 version was designed to help traders/investors in tracking their potential stock picks, the 2005 looks like an ordinary calender. It is essentially useless.
I'm a long-time subscriber to IBD. Considering the horrible format changes to the newspaper, I'm not at all surprised to see the 2005 Desk Diary has gone the way of the dogs.
Great deal!.......2004-09-20
I had the 2004 version of the O'Neil desk diary, and I loved it. This version looks just as good. Another review on Amazon is highly critical of O'Neil and his investing methods. I will admit, learning how to invest with patience and hard work is probably not for everyone. This is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. But if you want to really learn how the market works and how to find the best stocks in the world, this diary and a subscription to Investor's Business Daily will get you on your way. And the price is too good to pass up.
don't waste your time & money on this book.......2004-09-03
This book is one of the very first investment/trading books I read when I start trading in the beginning of the bull market of 2003. And I thought it is a great book with a great system and I made myself a believer too. But as I read more and more, and expanded my experiences and knowledge in the markets, I realized this book is nothing but a marketing brochure for his IBD. Without IBD, you can't do anything (I was a subscriber). The articles on the newspaper are poorly written. His method is nothing other than buying breakout, you can find this information on the web for FREE. He failed to emphasize on where to set stop and limit your risk, the 7% or 8% is too general. He failed to explain when to move the stop up, and where. Failed where to get out. Just named a few. If you interest in learning how to buy breakout, where to set stop, and when to move up the stop, I recommend Nicolas Darvas's books.
FYI: O'neil started 2 funds, and both were forced to sold out. And the last one happened in the raging bull of the 90s.
practical size, spiral bound diary.......2004-02-28
but don't think about writing anything on it since you won't find space in the pages to do it.
And be careful with the 2004 calendar in the back pages, since they forgot it's a leap year and February proudly displays 28 days. Let's hope the graphs are more accurate
Not really a 'Desk' Diary..........2004-01-26
O'Neil is the author of some fine books on investing and that is why I jumped at the chance to purchase this new diary-type book.
My evaluation follows.
Pros:
1) There is a small paragraph of good investing advice for every day of the year(2004 only). For example: "Don't trade on news... it can shake you out. Understand the company and how they are really doing before reacting to a single news item on the company."
2) It's spiral-bound, which makes it very easy to write in.
3) Nice small size makes it unobstrusive in your briefcase.
Cons:
1) With two days on each page, there is very little room to write anything of substance. Just barely enough space to jot down 'Stocks to watch' & 'Today's Trades' on the small lines provided.
2) No factual information included from the authors past books. Only contains "Quotes", which probably aren't even his.
In closing, I will have to recommend:
"The Stock Trader's Almanac 2004"

Book Description
Mit der 1. Auflage der Transgenen Pflanzen im Jahr 1995 war nicht abzusehen, welche Wendungen es mit der Entwicklung der "Grünen Gentechnik" in den folgenden Jahren in der Europäischen Union und in Deutschland nehmen würde.
Die 2. überarbeitete und aktualisierte Auflage des Buches informiert über den neuesten Stand der Wissenschaft auf dem Gebiet der "Grünen Gentechnik" und beschreibt die verschiedenen Methoden zur Erzeugung transgener Pflanzen, die Erkenntnisse über ihre Kultivierung und die Bestrebungen zu ihrem Inverkehrbringen. Die wichtigsten Argumente der derzeitigen Risikodiskussion sowie die gesetzlichen Regelungen zur Gentechnik innerhalb der EU werden übersichtlich dargestellt.
Transgene Pflanzen ermöglicht es jedem, sich ein Urteil über dieses Teilgebiet der Gentechnik zu bilden. Die Vermittlung fundierter Informationen an eine breitere Öffentlichkeit ist dabei unabdingbar für eine bewusste Wahlfreiheit zwischen Lebensmitteln aus gentechnisch veränderten, konventionell gezüchteten oder ökologisch angebauten Pflanzen und für eine gesellschaftlich gewollte Koexistenz dieser Lebensmittel.
Die umfassende Darstellung der verschiedenen Aspekte der transgenen Pflanzen macht das Buch wertvoll und lesenswert für eine vielfältige Leserschaft, sei es nun für den interessierten Laien, den Naturwissenschaftler biologischer Fachrichtung, den mündigen Bürger oder den Juristen. Ihnen allen wird der Einstieg in einen Themenkomplex erleichtert, der nach wie vor im Brennpunkt der Öffentlichen Diskussion steht.

Book Description
Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a form of endoplasmic reticulum found in large quantities in mature muscle cells. Anthony Martonosi presents general information about the development and function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum within a framework of contemporary research on the molecular biology of biosynthetic and signaling processes. Focusing on the development of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, Martonosi demonstrates the regulatory functions that control the production of its molecular components and investigates the interaction of these lipid and protein molecules with the myogenic, neurogenic and hormonal stimuli present in developing muscle cells. Martonosi provides extensive experimental support throughout the book.

Book Description
Aristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, born at Stagirus in 384
BCE, was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367-347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor and at this time married Pythias, one of Hermeias's relations. After some time at Mitylene, in 343-2 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip's death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of 'Peripatetics'), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander's death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.
Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as follows: I Practical: Nicomachean Ethics; Great Ethics (Magna Moralia); Eudemian Ethics; Politics; Economics (on the good of the family); On Virtues and Vices. II Logical: Categories; Analytics (Prior and Posterior); Interpretation; Refutations used by Sophists; Topica. III Physical: Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about animals, etc. IV Metaphysics: on being as being. V Art: Rhetoric and Poetics. VI Other works including the Constitution of Athens; more works also of doubtful authorship. VII Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics and metaphysics.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.

Useful for the specialist and the student.......2005-01-10
Like most volumes in the Loeb series, the emphasis is not on word-for-word precision in the translation, but on acheiving greater readability in broader terms. Since the original text in ancient Greek is provided on the facing page, the editors assume that anyone with a little knowledge of Greek can supplement the looseness of the translation by referring to the original. And in general, the compromises made in this way are good ones throughout the series. In this case, perhaps, the translation may be a little too loose, and also given over to some unfortunate jargon that can distort Aristotle's meaning. But even so, this is still a very useful text for the specialist or the student.
Book Description
Set during a house party at the eccentric household of Captain Shotover and his daughter Hesione, this comedy of manners takes a probing look at the conflict between old-fashioned idealism and the realities of the modern age. Heartbreak House was Shaw's favorite play.

Don't buy this edition!.......2005-07-15
A warning about the "Dover Thrift Edition" of Heartbreak House: Every page is filled with ommitted apostrophes and odd spacing within words. I found it distracting and was amazed that a published book could contain so many errors.
"He is not dead: He is only asleep".......2003-10-20
Bernard Shaw's 1919 play, "Heartbreak House," is a bitterly angry black comedy - a satire against a British imperial culture in the first two decades of the 20th century that gave rise to the excesses of the first World War, and which could (and would) do a lot worse if given the chance. Consciously drawing on a healthy and proud tradition of Irish satirists, including Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde, Shaw brings us into a declining English country house, which seems to be run by no one in particular for a party of apocalyptic (in)significance. The house is home to the Shotover family, the eighty-eight year old patriarch Captain Shotover, his daughter, Hesione Hushabye, and her husband Hector. Over the course of three acts, Shaw explores the 'fascinating' qualities and inhabitants of the boat-like house, and its broader implications as a kind of ship of state.
The play opens as a young woman, Ellie Dunn, arrives at the house, ostensibly the guest of Hesione. With no one to greet her, and her bags left on the front porch of the house, Ellie finds her way into the boat-like drawing room, where she meets the indefatigable Nurse Guinness, and the inscrutable Captain Shotover, who is in the midst of his latest plan to usefully dispose of the hoard of dynamite he keeps in the garden. Gradually, the party fills out as Hesione, Hector, Lady Utterword (nee Shotover), Randall Utterword (the melancholy brother-in-law), Mazzini Dunn (soldier of freedom and Ellie's father), and Boss Mangan (capitalist and Ellie's intended) arrive at this bizarre house. Hesione plans to break off Ellie's engagement to the much older Mangan, and free her to follow the course of romance, while Utterwood and Hector variously pursue their sister-in-law. Of course, Shaw does not let his characters, nor his audience, off with a simple comedy of manners.
Shaw uses the play to expose the play of civilization, in which we all have a part, but with much more comic viciousness than Wilde, and with (possibly) more brute directness than Swift. The most explicit butt of Shaw's circuitous and rapid-fire dialogues is Mangan, whose gruff capitalist demeanor and pursuit of money and reputation is ultimately the guidepost of society as Shaw envisions it. As the lowest common denominator, Mangan's crudity reflects upwards at the socially climbing Ellie, the egregious nonchalance of Hesione, and the almost intentional insanity of Captain Shotover. Shaw implies that if Mangan and his ilk are running the show, then everyone who is not working to change it is complicit in its depredations. Listless bohemians, like Hesione and Hector, give the lie to their apparent graces, in an effort to maintain sanity in the midst of their perpetual confinement with each other. Lady Utterword's complaisance belies her loveless existence, and Mazzini Dunn's servility is the mark of an idealist who has given up his ideals in favor of subsistence. Is the refinement we everyday pretend to, nothing more than a thin veneer for the animal instincts that, if broached, would expose us as Swiftian Yahoos, as Shaw implies in his Preface, or as mere children, left in charge of ever more dangerous means of annihilating everyone and everything?
The tool of satire, in the hands of a master like Shaw, compels us to examine our own lives, and the ways we live them. Does Shaw call us to action, or merely to honest self-reflection? Either way, even at this late date, nearly a century later, we are still living in "Heartbreak House" - and Shaw's challenge to us is more urgent than ever. Ultimately, Shaw's message is that we are not dead yet - only asleep; can we awaken before it is too late? If we are monstrous enough to blow up the preacher's house, in the early 20th century or the early 21st, then each of us must be our own Savior - a notion which should be as empowering as it is horrifying.
The absurd serving utopia.......2002-04-10
Bernard Shaw is a great playwright. In this particular play he exposes the shortcomings of English upper classes. They only think of mariage, business, politics, but England is in fact a drunken skipper, a skipper on which every sailor and even the captain are drunk with rum and unable to see the danger coming up and to deal with it. So the skipper is condemned to break on the rocks. England in the same way is condemned to break on the rocks because no one, in the upper classes, thinks beyond their interest. This catastrophe coming up is shown by some kind of supernatural explosion at the end of the play and the members of these upper classes admire the event as being beautiful and they are totally unable to cope. The picture given by Shaw of England is particularly pessimistic. Their is no future and no hope for that country. Along the way he discusses important issues such as the liberation of women within their enslavement and their power is nothing but hypnotism or drowning men in a sea of words and charm. The only sane man in the play is the captain, with an allusion to Whitman, « Captain my captain », who sees the catastrophes coming and is unable to convince his own daughters or their husbands and friends that they have to control the boat if they don't want it to capsize. But does he really want to convince them ?

Great!.......2000-04-04
I recently saw the production of this play in Atlanta and I was blown away. This is a fascinating, fast-paced comedy with dark undertones about a bankrupt society. It is set in the late nineteenth/early twentieth c., but the issues turn out to be very contemporary: the question of capitalism, security vs. adventure, gender roles... I recommend it!
