Otto's weekend freestuff


Here we are, back with the free weekend downloads and interesting stuff for nothing section. There's something for all (ok, most) tastes, so dig in dudettes and dudes.

Free E-Book; Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. I'm putting this link up again because if just one more person out there takes advantage, downloads and reads this it'll be well worth it. The best book on stock investment ever written.

Free White Paper Report; Engaging With The New E-Learning. Adobe (yep, the clever guys who do Acrobat) offers this white paper that gives 12 smart ideas on how to engage and retain learners online. As a secondary reason to get your copy, if you go for this one I get a small commission from the people out there. Help an Otto this weekend? (USA and Canada residents only on this one, I'm afraid).

Amnesty International's report on Colombia named "Leave Us In Peace". If you've ever wondered why people are continually up in arms about so-called human rights abuses in the land of Uribe, read this and you'll extract the "so-called" from that sentence.

Free report on the Commodities sector. Want to read the kind of stuff read by the industry? Here's a report dated 13th October from Macquarie that shows the state of play in the base metals sector, with plenty of data about supply, demand and all that wonky stuff people like me enjoy. At 13 pages it's not too heavy and it's full of useful charts, too.

Free NOBS report on Metanor. Yep, I'm still trying to drum up interest in my online analysis service, and here's the freebie access page again.
