Reference

How I Made $2 million in the Stock Market is an extraordinary book. It tells one of the most unusual success stories in the history of the stock market. Darvas was not a stock market professional trading on inside information. He was one half of the highest paid dance team in show business, an expert cryptic crossword compiler, and a championship ping pong player. Yet he was able to make himself a millionaire several times over by his unique investment approach. Unlike other so-called systems, it worked regardless of whether the market rose or fell. When news of Darvas's fantastic profits and methods leaked out, he was featured in Time magazine. He then was persuaded to write a book which became an instant hit, selling nearly 200,000 copies in eight weeks. Many of the companies talked about in this book no longer exist. Many of the stocks are no longer traded. Nevertheless, the basic principles are as sound as ever.

You Can Still Make It In The Market by Nicolas Darvas (the author of How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market)

Nicolas Darvas, author of the phenomenal best-seller, How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market, has devised a breakthrough system for charting the stock market. Called the DAR-CARD, it is easy to use end has the all-important ingredient that existing systems lack: DAR-CARD needs no interpretation. The philosopher's stone of the stock market, DAR-CARD converts data into profits. It eliminates confusing fluctuations and indicates the trend and the buy and sell points-the factors that matter if you want to make money. DAR-CARD is a compact, visual representation of Nicolas Darvas's system; a simple device to be carried in the pocket, to be checked against each day's closing prices. No bigger than a postcard, DAR-CARD contains its own built-in instructions and all the information necessary to make a decision on whether to buy, sell or hold. In addition to providing this unique tool for dealing with the stock market, Darvas offers straightforward advice on: when to buy; what shall I watch for; five ways to create favorable odds; how to detect a must sale; how long to hold a stock; pitfalls of switching; what to look for before taking action.

2011 reprint of 1960 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 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 fifty 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 ploughed 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.
