Title: A Suprising Little Gem
Review: When I saw the title I thought this would be an infomercial. What a surprise! The narrative of the investment activity in 1950's of a Hungarian Jewish immigrant who fled Nazi genocide turned successful ballroom dancer reviewing his learning the trading business that leads to $ 2,000,000 from a $ 10,000 seems like a novel. In reading about the book I learned most of the public and the government didn't believe his story either. In addition to dancing and investing Nicolas Darvas is an exceptional writer. The organization of the book and the narrative is not only easy to read but is an excellent teaching tool. Having read the Market Wizards books by Jack Schwager I see the same lessons learned by Mr. Darvas as the greats in the Wizards series. I cannot attest to the validity of the Box Theory employed to make the $ 2 million ($ 14 million in today's dollars) but I can say I enjoyed a great read!
