 A great book about speculation for investing
This book can help people looking for money management advice, specially about securities and stock stuff.
The author is pretty clear about the subject and he's got the experience (I mean, the guy's passed through the 1929 debacle!) to tell with authority.
After reading the book you get several "financial myths" fallen, and start thinking more about what to do with your money.

 From the Stock Traders Headquarters library
A timeless classic first published in 1935, this book remains one of the most popular handbooks on investing. It covers such essential topics as market timing, portfolio selection, hedging one's losses, switching stocks, investing in new products and much more.

Timeless Book
One of the best book written by Gerald Loeb. I liked the way he said put all your eggs in one basket and see the basket grow. Ofcourse before you put all the eggs in one basket you may want to research on the stock very carefully both the fundamental and technical details and most importantly the market needs to be in a uptrend. 3 out of 4 stocks fail in a market downtrend. Loeb bought most of his winning stock as the market was in a confirmed rally and the leaders were on the verge of breakout on higher volume. A recent such phenomenon happened on 29th Aug 2007 when the market confirmed a new rally and in that rally Baidu, Dryships, Vimpel communications rose over 100% in less than 3 months. A phenomenon seen so often.

A pure trader's book
I can fully see why Nicolas Darvas was so adamant about this book along with Tape Reading & Market Tactics By Humphrey B. Neill. When this book was written in 1930s, it was one of the very few pure trader's books. In todays standard, it still is.

Tried but true
Loebs book can be likened to an " armchair chat " with a family friend who happens to be a stockbroker. The book is humorous, poignant and ironic. Ironic because on page 38 Loeb states " I feel that any source ready instantly to pass on everything and anything should be regarded with skepticism ".
