Abridged

The 1st installment in O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series
"The best historical novels ever written..."
-The New York Times Book Review
This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, Royal Navy, and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the road of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.

Review
Since Patrick O'Brian launched his series of historical novels with Master and Commander in 1970, millions of readers have enjoyed the adventures of Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend, surgeon Stephen Maturin. O'Brian's prose, so immediate and yet so distinctly capturing the language and culture of the English navy in the first moments of the 19th century, rolls effortlessly off the tongue of actor Robert Hardy. Never for a second do we doubt that this is the way an English naval officer would have expressed himself in 1800, and that these are the sights, sounds, and emotions he encountered. As Aubrey sails his ship into battle, we don't need the sounds of cannon to share this moment with him; Hardy's voice is the ideal instrument. (Running time: 4.5 hours, three cassettes) --Lou Schuler

Iron Condor: Neutral Strategy for Uncommon Profit (Power Options: Option Trading Series)
Seller: 369 Bookstore _[~ 369 Pyramid Inc ~]_, Dover, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. Sure, everyone takes notice when the stock market rises dramatically-or suddenly plunges-but do you realize that most of the time, the stock market is doing nothing but making very slight deviations from the previous day, week, month, and year? What you need is the strategy that generates returns in the most common market condition-when the market is trading sideways. The Iron Condor is that strategy, and this book will teach you how to master it. When other strategies, meant to be used in big market moves, underperform-the iron condor will enable you to generate income because it is a combination of two popular leverage options strategies: the bull-put credit spread and the bear-call credit spread, one of which will always be profitable. It\'s no surprise that it is the go-to strategy the most experienced options traders use. Iron Condor: Neutral Strategy for Uncommon Profits introduces you to this strategy with concepts, ideas, and rules of thumb gleaned from the PowerOptionsApplied newsletter\'s successful trading of the iron condor over the past five years. But this book goes deeper than just theory and concept to bring you real-world examples featuring real profits and actual mistakes. From the professional experiences shared in this guide, you will learn to: - Search for, find, analyze, enter, manage, roll, and exit the iron condor strategy - Select the right security, including indexes and ETFs - Determine the right broker to use when placing an iron condor trade - Reduce and manage risk involved with trading iron condors - Optimize the strategy for maximized returns Complete with profit and loss diagrams and actual calculations, fact-based statistics and probability, this book gives you the knowledge you need to put the iron condor to work-and see how powerful this strategy can be for you.
