Nice book

Why this book is great –1. It captures the journey of a trader from being a noob to an expert.2. It explains the mistakes made by novice investors and offers steps to overcome them.3. It talks about a special ‘Box Strategy’ which can be used in the present day stock market.4. It talks about a few very important tips to invest prudently.5. The writing style is smooth without any fancy words.6. It will teach you something about investing.The long version -This book was written by Nicholas Darvas, a self-taught trader who used a simple strategy to analyze the stock market and make money. It reads like an autobiography. The writing style of the author was also very smooth and was written in an easily understandable manner. He doesn't use any fancy words. The book's language was not hard, it was easy to read. The book chronicles his journey from being a novice trader, who learns his roots slowly and starts to understand the market. The book was filled with time-less wisdom, which still applies to the present-day stock market. He talks about some basic strategies for investing and tells you how to analyze stocks. The book also discusses the mistakes made by novice investors and provides strategies to overcome them. The author emphasizes on being a short-term trader, i.e., holding your position only for a few weeks. He says 'invest and forget' is a bad strategy. He talks about his own 'Box Strategy'. I saw many people in the reviews who said that this strategy was not clearly explained in the book. They are wrong, the author clearly explains what the strategy was.Box strategy is not very complicated. It's the present-day equivalent of ' Support and Resistance ' used in technical analysis. The author talks about "TechnoFundamentalism", a strategy where one combines technical analysis with fundamental analysis, in simple terms, checking the price fluctuations of a company along with also its book numbers, i.e., the balance sheet and income statement.One reading of this book can leave you with common sense that every investor should have. This was written over half a century ago, you may think the strategy is dated but it isn’t. The stock market is mysterious, and you can never tell how it’ll behave on any given day. All the stock market strategies that you encounter daily are all based on trial and error. There are many aspects one needs to take into consideration while testing a strategy. All you can do is try the strategy and see if it works for you.The book was great in giving you the journey of a trader who started off with zero skills and slowly used trial and error to iron out a strategy that helped him make money. Read the book to enjoy and learn from the man’s journey.P.S. – The copy I have was published by General Press. It had a few printing and grammatical mistakes. It can be a problem for few.

The media could not be loaded.  Very fair deal in 104rs even get hardcovered book n paper quality is good. 👍🏻

This book is hardcover and paper quality is good. I am a stock market investor and I use both the best fundamental approaches and technical analyses. This book is one of the best read not because you may also make 2M$, but this will restate some of the fundamentals you might have heard from many investors and written in many books. If you ask me one learning of this book then I say, Trailing Stop Loss you will clearly understand its importance in investing in the stock market, and Nicolas capital is protected only because of it, other important things covered in this book are – • Never ask or act on the basis of TIPS• Keep in mind Broker commission and Tax • Do not keep stock as PET- do not get attached to the stock and this will create biased• Do not just go with insider action, they are human too. Sometimes insiders can also go wrong, they may sell early and buy late• Stock market may not act accordingly - When things look perfect on paper but the market may act differently • Trailing Stop Loss: Every trade apply to stop loss and keeps updating your stop loss. If you are sold out then buy again when things get back maybe at the higher price. This will protect against big losses. Never abandon stop-loss• You will never be able to sell at the top and buy at the bottom. If someone says they are telling Lia to you. You can't time the market • There are only rising and falling stock- no good or bad stock • Each stock behave differently • Write down the reason for buying stock and selling stock- write why I did this • Stock are the slave of earning power - Select stock based on their technical action in the market, but buy only if you see improving earnings power.• Look for what could boost earning power of the company, like a new product, new segment, new area, new acquisition, etc• Never risk more money than I could afford to lose without ruining myself • If you do not have reason to sell an advancing stock, do not sell and say NO TO IT • Becoming overconfident is a most dangerous state of mind anyone can develop in stock market• Never get distracted by the noise in the market like Tip, rumors, panics. This will make you emotional about the stock market Some of the things I do not like in the approach are• Selling of stock you brought too quick• Box theory itself did not impress me, as it is totally speculating in nature• There was always he was having one or two stocks, it good to have a focused approach but it is like you are putting all eggs in one basket. I suggest a minimum 5-10 stocks with portfolios with good beta need to have

The book is good so far not finished it give some basic investment advice. However the seller has quoted the price as being 395 but it's just 195 so you believe you will get a good discount. Which is not true. I got it for around 130 which is barely anything less. It's also a small book and not premium quality at all. Disappointed with the seller repo books

Interesting read.

I see a lot of poor reviews claiming this book provides no value on a trading system, ypu should know that is not the purpose of the book. Once you have haines market experience, this book is absolute gold. The book teaches you about emotions and psychology in investing and all the mistakes that can be made that most with experience will relate to. New investors won't gain much from this book on first read, as i did kot years ago, but after gaining marker experience, this book is a classic reread every year!

O livro conta as peripécias de um investidor amador nos mercados financeiros. Muito engraçado, não só pelo inesperado da situação como também pela informaçao técnica fornecida. É divertido de ler e muito instrutivo.

Recommend this book, interesting and well written. The delivery took over a month, but I was not in a rush so thumbs up anyway

Warum ich das Buch für jeden empfehlen würde, der schon mal länger an der Börse sein Kapital für sich arbeiten ließ?Weil Nicolas Darvas in diesem tollen Buch es schaffte, ein Trader-Leben zu beschreiben, das so vielen von uns allen gleicht. Man denkt, man hätte die ultimative Lösung, die finale Strategie - und schon knallt ein Trade oder eine Börsenphase dazwischen, die jeden Glauben daran vernichtet.Während andere danach loslassen und das Geld von der Börse abziehen, macht Nicolas Darvas exakt das, was das einzig Sinnvolle ist: Er macht weiter. Er entwickelt seine Strategie weiter und passt die verschiedenen, neuen Gegebenheiten an. Das ist für mich eines der Key-Takeaways aus diesem Buch.Der nächste Punkt, der sich bei jedem Trader unbedingt im Hinterkopf befinden sollte, ist seine Herangehensweise. Nicht der Stop Loss, sondern seine Devise, dass man nur eine Aktienauswahl im Blickfeld behält. Durch diese Vorselektion lernt man, die Muster zu lesen, die Aktien zu verstehen - und dann im richtigen Moment zu kaufen.Was ich mir des Weiteren daraus mitgenommen hab, ist, dass Events die großen Schlager sind. Pivotal News Points. Und diese können genau jene großen Schwünge auslösen, die Nicolas Darvas‘ Vermögen in die Höhe schraubte.Zu guter Letzt noch ein besonders wichtiges Learning aus dem Buch: Ein Geheimrezept seines Erfolgs sehe ich auch darin, dass er keinen Zugang zu Nachrichten hatte. Er war off line und das wirklich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Sobald er on line war, zerschoss seine Rendite und er verlor beinahe alles. Doch sobald er wieder die Ruhe hatte, die Muster zu studieren, die Aktien fundamental und technisch zu studieren, ging es (wieder) bergauf.Zusammenfassend eine wirklich beeindruckende und sehr unterhaltsame Trader-Geschichte, die die Basisliteratur für jeden Investor darstellen sollte.
