How I Made ...2,000,000 in the Stock Market [Darvas, Nicolas] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. How I Made ...2,000,000 in the Stock Market

Review: Every Investor and Trader Should Have This Book - I'm new to investing and trading, I will admit it, I've been doing it for a few months now, and I started with only a thousand dollars, even though Darvas once said that if you don't have five thousand you shouldn't even step in--though I'd say that was probably because the cost of the commission made it so much more difficult. I've read this book four times, once out loud to my mother who has also opened an account, and used this strategy with William O'Neil's CANSLIM to start growing her retirement, already up five thousand from the twenty thousand account she opened. This book helped me spot stocks like FUQI at ten to fifteen, STEC at twenty. I had lost five hundred dollars of my thousand before I found this book and started reading it, with it, I was able to use it to catch the trend upwards on Borders Group and ALD from April to May which turned my five hundred into twelve hundred. Through a series of stocks, I'm up to nearly three thousand, I also put a little money in the account, about a hundred and twenty, for full disclosure, but this book is excellent. I understood it right off the bat, and along with William O'Neil, I have been very profitable. I bought fifty shares of STEC it up to thirty four, FUQI is up to twenty five and I bought a hundred shares of that. I'm up to nearly five thousand dollars. This small bull market has been doing me great, and I've been prospering in it, making sure to keep my stop losses reasonably close so not to give back all my profits. I have taken a lot of losses, nearly fifteen hundred dollars worth of losses, but I've always made that back with my winners. I was trading small cap until I had a good deal of money, and used to get stopped out at thirty five cents daily. This book should be required reading for anyone considering getting into stocks, its an uplifting story, its entertaining, its fun, it lets you get a good look into the work it takes to become very profitable in the stock market. The rules I come away from with this book are simple. 1: You're going to be wrong half the time if not more, so always make sure you cut your losses. 2: Only buy into rising stocks. 3: Use volume, new products, earning growth, and price to decide if the stock is about to move. 4: Never listen to the news or analysts, they're human and can be just as wrong as you, and their information is usually late and of no use. 5: Annual Reports and Company Records mean nothing about the companies future. I've used these rules and I plan to keep using these rules. This is an excelent book, and at 8.99,7.99, its too cheap not to buy.
Review: Entertaining and informative read - The best thing about Darvas' book is the simplicity. Yes, he had a degree in economics and read lots of investing books. However, he makes it clear that none of this helped his success in the market. Darvas went through a lot of heartache before he became successful and fortunately he never gave up. That is a big lesson right there. But the basic point of his story is to eliminate the noise. And I believe that's even more important today as the noise is extremely amplified by social media and too much news. I've been investing for a few years and I also found I did better when I stopped reading too much stock information. There are too many analysts and pundits out there giving recommendations. Some reviewers are upset because they believe Darvas didn't reveal his "secret." His secret box formula is nothing more than support/resistance. It should be even simpler today if you learn how to read a stock chart. The only negative I have about this book is the title. Yes, Darvas made $2 million. However, he was putting a fortune into his stocks. At the beginning of his endeavor he was buying $20-50K worth of stocks in the 1950s, which is several times over the average annual salary of that time period. I'm not even close to the point of putting $50K into one stock today. The book is great and reinforces the most basic idea of stock investing--keep it simple. It can be difficult to keep it simple, but it must be done.
