An Interview with a Modern Day Nicolas Darvas

Don’t Miss to Watch 3 VIDEO’s

Who is Dan Zanger?

Dan Zanger is the modern day version of Nicolas Darvas.

His mother Elaine loved the stock market and Dan would often watch the business channel with her. One day in 1978 Dan saw a stock explode across the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen hitting $1. He made his first purchase and sold the stock a few weeks later at over $3. From that sale on, he was hooked on the action of the market tape, usually carrying a quotetrek with him to stay up on stock prices on his  jobs  in Beverly Hills as an independent contractor building swimming pools.

Standard & Poor’s 500 Guide, 2013 Edition

It’s commonplace for authors to write revised editions of their books. But book reviewers are not supposed to serve up revised editions of their reviews. The former are billed as new and improved; the latter seem nothing more than warmed-up fare. The problem is that sometimes it’s difficult to start from scratch when reviewing a book that, while completely new, is also identical in structure. Such is the case with the 2013 edition of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Guide. So, with apologies, herewith a revised edition of last year’s review.
This is a very big paperback—8 ½” x 11”, more than 1000 pages, and weighing in at about 4.5 lbs. With so much information available online, why would anyone need this book? I can think of several compelling reasons.
First, a personal preference: I enjoy flipping through pages, making serendipitous discoveries. (The one downside this year: thanks to UPS, the bottom of the book got wet, so the pages don’t exactly flip.) I don’t have the same kind of experience online since I normally am looking for something specific, not just seeing what comes my way. (more…)

Does Failure Motivate you ?

MOTIVATEI’ve been reading a wondeful book by Jerry Stocking titled Laighing with God.In that book the following dilemma is broght up ,and I’m going to rewrite the conversation a little to make it pertinent to trading/investing.

God :Do you want to win without losing ?

Trader :Of course.

God :If you win ,you must lose as well.But you weren’t honest with me.Your saud that you’d like to just win.If that were the case ,you’d win much  more often.

The possibility of failure motivates you much more than the possibility of success.your whole society thrices on failure  or at least the fear of lossing.If there were not the possibility of losing you could not take any credit for success.Making money in the markets would seen meaningless for you.
