Invest/Speculate Profitably in the Stock Market Hardback book with Dust Jacket by Frank B. Diamond, Allied Member of The New York Stock Exchange Over 220 pages Second Printing Copyright ©, 1969 by Frank B. Diamond This classic book says: " This book is filled with basic, hard, cold facts you should know when attempting to make money in the stock market. No words are wasted, but in simple, down-to-earth language the author explains certain approaches he has used successfully over the years as a prominent broker. " " The first section of the book is aimed primarily at the investor who is looking for long-term profits derived from high-grade, "safe" securities. The second section speaks to the speculator who is willing to take certain risks for the sake of immediate cash gains. Both sections fully explain the type of thinking- and actions- that could lead to the achievement of either of these aims, or possibly a combination of both. " " Along with the vital information that only an experienced broker can give, this book also provides clear explanations of all the fundamentals of buying and selling in today's market. For example, the techniques of dollar-cost averaging, margin buying, selling short, and stop-order buying are fully covered. In fact, this book gives you a complete bird's-eye view of the different approaches available for operating profitably as an investor, speculator, or both. In short, you will learn how to get the best results in line with your temperament, personality, needs, and available funds.
