[.ca] How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market (ISBN 9562914534)

How I Made 2,000,000 in the Stock Market:
While I did not read or know about this book until after I tuned $10,775 into $42 million in the stock market in 23 months (see articles and audit at Chartpattern.com), I heard about the book from one of my first subscribers at Chartpattern.com who sent me the book around 2001. This book clearly defines a breakout strategy that is widely used and followed today by the best traders in the world, and still this breakout method is little understood by most readers as I can see by the critics here. It is this method and the method of "Canslim" by William O'Neil in his book "How to make Money in Stocks" that works so well when correctly applied by those willing to study long hours and apply this method. Applying this method and a little bit of PI in a strong Bull Market will yield fortunes beyond the reader's wildest dreams. This is a must read for any one with a yearning to become vastly wealthy and those who have the determination to put forth the effort to study and learn.

SHORT AND SWEET:
I DON'T NEED TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS BOOK IS, BUT JUST ONE THING SUMS IT UP...I HAVE READ DOZENS OF STOCK MARKET BOOKS, BUT NONE AS GREAT AS THIS AND IT TOOK ME FROM LOSING IN THE MARKET TO WINNING...ITS THAT SIMPLE.

LEARN BY EXAMPLE - DARVAS DID IT!:
I love this book! Forget theories! This guy did it--what better way is there to learn? Being that I am a BIG fan of modeling (NLP) it makes sense for me to get so excited about such a book...but all excitement aside...I recommend this book to anyone who invests money in the market. If you were to apply the principles outlined in this book and get great results I would not be surprised. I wish you much success!

nothing new, but still true:
the theory of "boxes" was enunciated by jesse livermore in the book "reminiscences of a stock operator" about 40 yrs before darvas published his book. livermore used it in the early part of the 20th century to amass millions. darvas may have stumbled on the theory independently, and i believe such a methodology can work. my only reservation is that the book itself is written in the same way i would write a book if i wanted to create a fictional account of how i "made $2,000,000". there's just something about the organization of the book and the writing style that doesn't ring true. it's too "neat". neverthless, the system is valid, and, although the author didn't use it this way, it can be used to short stocks in bear markets, too, by selling weak stocks as they fall through the bottom of their boxes and placing buy stops just above the tops of new boxes. the book does a good job of describing the system. in reading some of the negative reviews, i believe these people haven't quite grasped what darvas was trying to say. but it is all here.

Great Read. Also Read His Second Book.:
I could not put this book down until I read it all. That was several years ago and his second book at that time had gone out of print until the publisher received enough interest to put it back in print. I had to order a used copy of his second book, "The Wall Street: The Other Las Vegas." The second book exposed so much of things going wrong on Wall Street. "Barrons" and other financial magazines would not review it, and if my memory serves me right, "Barrons" would not allow his publisher to advertise this second book in their publication. I am going to reread both books as the author's books reveal his mistakes, which are the same mistakes investors make today. Two other books that I keep in my financial library and refer to ofter are by another author, R.Max Bowser. I refer often to his first book "Making Dollars With Pennies:How The Small Investor Can Beat The Wizards On Wall Street" and his most recent release, "Guaranteed Profits With Small Stocks: The Only Stock Market Investment System That Comes With A $5,000 Guarantee." It seems that after 25 years of investing Mr. Bowser has eliminated most of the mistakes he has made and offers only his success secrets or system to readers. I understand he is offering $5,000 cash guarantee if the followers of his system do not make a profit.
