An interesting and motivational story4
If a professional dancer can succeed in the market so can any average person, or can they?. Darvas may have been average , but he was a creative thinker that was able to come up with a simple trading system "the Darvas Box" (remember this was the 1950's). He was then able to plug the holes in that system and keep modifying and adjusting it until he had something that worked. When you read the book you will notice that every time he completed some trades and obtained results not to his liking he looked for things to modify , tried again and evaluated the results and so on. In my opnion this is the powerful message from this book: Develop a system that you can call your own no matter how simple or complex it is. Test it and make adjustments on it until you are happy with its performance then stick to the entry and exit signals that the system gives.



More info on Darvas4
Darvas was born in Hungary in about 1918. He got a college degree in Economics in Budapest, then left around 1939.
He read 200 books about the stock market, so he didn't think up all the stuff from out of the blue.

Easy Read5
For me this was an easy read. Darvas seems to identify most of the mistakes I've made in my investing lifetime, wish I had read this 20 years ago. Tough part of following his concepts are finding which stocks to watch. Worth the time.
