Publisher's 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.

Great story!

Very good book. The author describes in detail how me made his millions. I felt that he was truly sincere especially when talks about the profits as well as the losses. I highly recommend it for finance minded individuals.

Great book. we'll worth your time

Narrator was great. The stories are well put together as if someone laying out his experience in the stock market for you to learn from. Despite of the time when these stori3s occurred, they are very sound and I could relate to them during our current market.

Great story

Another inspiring stock market story! I think the best part about this book is that Darvas goes over many failures as he was trying to figure out how the market works, which is reality. Good stuff!
