How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market

Mr. Gekko said: "Well, it looks like I never posted a review for this one. If memory serves me correctly, Rickster recommended this one to me. Written by Nicolas Darvas (yes, the dancer), it's a story of how he turned (I think it was) $25k into $2 million trading stocks. Through the story you get a good sense of his "trial and error" method of trading. For me, the book wasn't one of education but of moral. I would recommend this book only after you've read something instructional, such as a Jim Cramer book. I give it two thumbs up. :th_dblthumb2:"

Many of them are no longer public or don't even exist."
