FOREWORD

Remember the old saw: Those who can, do. Those who cant, teach or write success stories.

Without for a moment implying that all teachers and authors lack the ability to do the things they teach and write about, the publishers undertook to prove the old adage false by persuading a successful speculator to revise his book in which he tells how he does it.

The author is a seasoned stock broker and the material in this book is distilled from over 40 years of experience in Wall Street, plus knowledge gained from study of the ups-and-downs of thousands of brokerage accounts. But, he is not an ivorytower theorist. He has tested his accumulated knowledge in the hot forge of the market place with millions of dollars of cold cash. His findings are now available to the readers of this book.

Until the stock market debacle of 1929, security-holders were inclined to accord their invested capitalthe life-blood of their economic existenceless attention than they gave to their automobile or teeth. Once a good investment, always a good investment seemed to be their attitude. But Mr. Loeb sets forth the inescapable investment doctrine that eternal vigilance is the price of success and bluntly states that an ideal investment is totally non-existent.

In substance, this book is hard-boiled, realistic, at times unorthodox. It promises no short cuts to wealth; neither does it take the sour grapes attitude that Wall Street is a snare and delusion. Rather it is a succinct, straight-forward, uncompromising revelation of stock market technique and philosophy by one who has been successful enough to make his views worth recording.

INTRODUCTION

The publication of this up-to-date and enlarged edition of The Battle for Investment Survival is due to two factorsthe steady demand for the first hardcover edition, which has sold over 200,000 copies, and the highly complimentary comments made by various readers of that edition. The contents of the hardcover book, which was last updated in 1957, are included here, practically without change. Here and there, as in the case of the 1964 tax revision, text changes have been made. Basically, the philosophy of the book has withstood the test of time. Some of the chapters were written in 1935 and checked in 1943 and 1957 and again now in 1965; they are still as valid as when they were written.
