“Market research firm Millward Brown released their annual Brandz Top 100 Most Powerful Brands rankings earlier this week. Google, who was down in 7th place in last year’s ranking, came out on top with a brand value of $66.4 billion. That’s a 77 percent rise in brand value putting the relative newcomer ahead of long-established brands.

Trading Zone Mark Douglas

Recently i finished reading this book title Trading in the Zone written by Mark Douglas. This book focus on teaching you the psychology of trading stocks and future instead of techniques. If you are looking for books to improve your skill/techniques i recommend you Trading for a Living . I would say this book is more suitable for Malaysia who is trading derivatives (FKLI or FCPO) because we can take long or short position in this two instruments. This book will teach you how do you about risk management and how to trade using the author’s technique. It is quite interesting but i wont reveal it here. Read the book and find out on yourself!
