By the end of Mastering Corporate Finance Essentials by McCrary (2010), it was clear what the book offered: accounting practices for multimillion dollar investments, Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo, and NPV. Those themes were present throughout the text. The situations presented through the questions at the end of the chapter were alright.
For the purposes of action items, the book served to increase the vision of what comes with a large account to balance. It seemed written for people working on the accounting end of management for firms, corporations, etc.
With this book complete, I'm moving to another finance book, Corporate Finance by DeMarzo (2014). Just a scan of the chapters and I see similar themes for the last, so this should cement some ideas while introducing others. It's a longer read.

In terms of trading, there has been a week of inaction, although some listening to traders has been happening. Moving into 2020, the plan is to work on the ideas I presented in the last post. Basically, trades being 1:2 risk:reward generally, and at least 1 trade a week. Next year, the goal is to double my paper trading balance with the strategy. Trading view is still new to me, and I expect to grow dramatically in my understanding of it.
There are tools available to speed up your reading, look into them. My goal is >1500 words/minute. Decrease subvocalization, regression, and fixation. Jump around, split the page into threes, read a word per section, scan chapters, then subheadings, then skim on through.
