    About this audiobook

    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 fifty 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.

      3 thing I take from this book
      1. Make investing Smart (know what you are doing) and boring ( trade only on opportunities)
      2. Cut all news just focus on plain facts
      3. Stop loss is the most important, ignore it and you are on the path of losing all

    • 5/5
      Great book. Found it off a recommendation. We all can resonate with the authors story starting out as retail trader, it’s very interesting how the author overcame obstacles on the way to making $2M (in 1954). He talks about his techniques and lessons he learned over the years that are still applicable to this day. This book also gave me new appreciation for stop orders.

      Great book. I’ve experienced similar emotions as the Author while trading and I am happy to have learned his trading psychology method to dealing with these issues. This book also emphasizes on the importance of keeping a log book or trading journal of all your trades.

    • 5/5
      This book, the man, the system he followed was so simple yet interesting. System are meant to be followed, do not listen to the noise surrounding the market, do your know simple yet proficient research and always-always follow the rules you have made. Never listen to the pandits around. A great and simple book every market participant must be reading.
