Nicolas Darvas
Nicolas Darvas (1920-1977) was a dancer, self-taught investor, and author. He is best known for his book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market.” He had never considered investing in the stock market until he was paid in stock for a performance.
That stock shot up in value, and he realised that there was a great deal of money to be made investing in stocks. Over the next few years, he read widely about stocks and spent every free moment studying the market. In a very short amount of time, he learned when to buy, when not to buy, and when to sell.
