Summary

Hungarian by birth, Nicolas Darvas trained as an economist at the University of Budapest. Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and 50 pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey. During his off hours as a dancer, he read some 200 books on the market and the great speculators, spending as much as eight hours a day studying.

Darvas invested his money into a couple of stocks that had been hitting their 52-week high. He was utterly surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit. His main source of stock selection was Barron's Magazine. At the age of 39, after accumulating his fortune, Darvas documented his techniques in the book, How I Made 2,000,000 in the Stock Market. The book describes his unique "Box System", which he used to buy and sell stocks. Darvas' book remains a classic stock market text to this day.

Simple and to the Point

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author tells his story of how he made his fortune trading stocks. After a very rocky start he eventually devises his own relatively simple method for trading which he calls his "Box System". The one slight criticism I would have is that listening in audio format sometimes the lists of stock prices are a bit hard to follow and would likely be better displayed in a visual format.

Not detailed enough

Too much information on type of trades but less detailed on the strategy employed to find trades and implements it. Ir simplified the whole process .

just annoying

I can't get past chapter 2. literally just listing trades entries and exits to the cent. maybe this stops as book goes on, but nothing enjoyable to listen to so far.
