My 2 cents		#1 Posted : Monday, November 08, 2010 9:32:07 AM
Rank: Veteran Joined: 6/2/2010 Posts: 1,075		I read this book over the weekend. FANTASTIC. It was written by Edwin Lefèvre in 1923 and I absolutely recommend it to y'all stock speculators. It amazing how human nature never changes, it felt like the book was wriiten 2-3 years ago. The book accounts one man's exploits in the stock market in the early 1900's and all along he details what he learns through his successes and failures. It is a funny book but very insightful. There is somewhere in the book where he mentions that sometimes the marker is so bad that not even a skunk can make any scent On another note, I was surprised that even in the early 1900's, investors in the States could go both long and short. When will our NSE get more sophisticated?

Rank: Veteran Joined: 7/24/2008 Posts: 781		There is another book he wrote during his down years called 'how to trade in stocks'.Its short,simple,precise and one of the best books ever written about the art of speculation...the book he says is not for the lazy,emotional,get rich quick kinda folks...they will die broke. The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.
