Loeb's Time-Tested Strategies for Winning on Wall Street

Markets rise and markets fall; it is how intelligent investors behave those fluctuations that determines how much they will profit. Gerald M. Loeb, a founding partner of the E.F. Hutton & Co. brokerage firm, was a renowned Wall Street stock broker, trader, and investor. In his financial classic, The Battle for Investment Survival, Loeb offers successful strategies for how to fight and win and, just as importantly, how not to lose in the turbulent climate of the investing world. These strategies for improving investment results are not mere tips, tricks, or short cuts; they are born from actual experience and knowledge based on timeless, rock-solid investing principles that Loeb himself had used, tested, and profited from before writing the book.

The time-tested advice for investors, speculators, and traders Loeb offers holds just as true today as it did when originally written. Loeb provides crucial ground rules to investors to follow for long term success. He clearly explains both how the stock market works and how you can make it work for you. While he recognizes that investment is an inexact science and asserts "nothing is more difficult than succeeding in Wall Street," you can learn from the patterns of those who prosper and ultimately reap great financial rewards.

The Battle for Investment Survival is for everyone interested in learning how to survive and thrive in the securities market. The main goal--protecting and increasing your hard-earned capital--is indeed a battle in that requires diligence, perseverance, and endurance, as well as a strong will to win. To invest successfully and grow your wealth, the goal is to "make a killing without being killed." This invaluable book shows you how.

Includes illustrative postscript material such as related articles, lectures, statistical charts, and case history examples, all compiled by the author over several decades after initial publication, as well as a newly expanded foreword and helpful glossary of terms.
