by Gerald M. Loeb (Author)
"Most of today's advisors are telling us to diversify into stocks, bonds, foreign stocks, and perhaps gold, to spread the risk; Loeb tells us to put all our eggs in one basket, and watch the basket."
The Battle for Investment Survival is a tribute to the long-term and incredible opportunities of the market as much as it is a guide to protect investors from common mistakes and pitfalls. Gerald Loeb's timeless and profound insights are sprinkled with humorous allusions and good-natured bluntness. Recommended for investors by investors, this is a book that every reader can learn from.

"This book is very special in my life. It is the very first Wall Street book I ever read. After reading 1,200 additional finance books, The Battle for Investment Survival's principles and concepts are still valid for consistent success."

In The Battle for Investment Survival, the turf is Wall Street, the goal is to preserve your capital at all costs, and to win is to "make a killing without being killed." This memorable classic, originally written in 1935, offers a fresh perspective on investing from times past. The Battle for Investment Survival treats investors to a straightforward account of how to profit--and how to avoid profit loss--in what Loeb would describe as the constant tug-of-war between rising and falling markets.
