Todays bookshelves are so laden with Johnny-come-lately experts,
eager to sell their knowledge to any and all, that its sometimes hard for
traders to know which way to turn or whom to trust. Lessons from the
Greatest Stock Traders of All Time makes the choice simple, examining

past century, demonstrated tremendous success at conquering Wall
Street.

strategies of these investing icons can be used to tame todays high-speed,

unforgiving marketplaces. Comparing and contrasting the successes--and
occasional failures--of these five giants of finance, it reveals:
What Jesse Livermore did to correctly call every market break between
1917 and 1940 How Bill ONeil stuck to basics to create his famously
effective CANSLIM system The strategies Nicolas Darvas used to
become a self-made millionaire several times over
Personal Review: Lessons from the Greatest Stock Traders of
All Time by John Boik
I really wish I had read this book earlier in my studies on trading stocks.
The author does an excellent job bringing together the greatest stock
traders of all time in one place. It is hard to argue with the results of these
men, making millions in the markets several times over 40-50 years. Jesse
Livermore made over $100 million during the crash of 1929 by being short
in stocks, Nicholas Darvas made $2 million in 18 months part-time. I had
already stumbled upon Jesse Livermore, Nicolas Darvas, and William
O'Neal, and read each of their books. They have all taught me a great deal
and their teachings have lead me to profits in the market. I love the way
the author has shown the similarities in all these great traders and
condensed the lessons to be learned from them in the final chapter. All
these great traders bought into the strongest stocks, they did not look for
bargains. They believed in buying high and selling higher. They believed in
buying stocks with great fundamentals and technical strength. They looked
for large price increases on strong volume, they captured there profits on
the rise at the first sign of weakness. Thanks to this book I will read the
books by Gerald Loeb and Bernard Baruch and continue with my growth
as a trader. I will also read all the books about these great men
recommended at the end of the book. This book would have helped me
focus on what books to read when I began learning years ago. Who better
to learn from than the best there ever was?
