How unfortunate. Had you stuck with it, I have no doubt that you would have expanded your horizons and grown as a person.
LOL. That is funny. Reminds me of the time I ordered the "DIY home circumsion kit" for only $200. Guess I should have read the reviews on Amazon before ordering that.
Besides many things that I do, I am also a collector of rare and one of a kind and unique things....you know some people have huge climate controlled warehouses to store one of a kind vehicles or rare muscle cars.....or to store rare musical instruments just to give you a couple of examples..things like that...also reading is a passion of mine and I want to put together a library filled with trading books and "Wiped Out" is considered a unique and very rare book....so its not the content that I am interested in as much as the book being rare and very old.
Great..thanks as I was able to get there ok..I see he does have a copy in good condition for $65.00....One just went on eBay for that price to...I was watching it when it had no bids and the starting bid price was $89.00 and I was out all afternoon and evening up till now and I just looked at it and it said SOLD with buy it now for $65.00 ..weird..so the seller must have lowered his price and made it a buy it now at the lower price and I missed it..oh well.. Thanks again...very cool
Hey chisel...does the w/no dj mean with no dust jacket and is it in good condition?... would you be willing to sell it for the $65.00 price that the link to that bookstore in the tread before yours is selling 1 for? Thanks..
That's actually a pretty good deal. Many vendors would sell you their stuff for much more and you would end up with a loser experience only after trying their stuff out. So you see, this book shortens your learning curve immensely and saves you a lot of money too...
I have a first edition. The book is about a loser who perpetually loses. I bought it from Donald Mack in 2000 for $6.95. Quote from Chapter 1 "I suppose I should pretend that I'm writing this book to help others avoid the mistakes that I myself made in the stock market. I am not that altruistic. I am writing this book in the hope that it will sell, that I will recover, even to some slight degree, the money I lost in the market. If others find instruction in it , well and good..............And I lost a great deal of money." At least he's an honest. Supposedly, he started with 50,000-100,000 dollars and 6-1/2 years later ended with only $297.78. There is simply not one lesson to learn in this book. After 6-1/2 years of trading he made every mistake on his last day of trading as he did on his first day of trading. I cannot understand it becoming a collector's item. Regards, Dave
