The Story of a

Speculator

The way to make money is to be slow in taking

profits. Let your profits pile up as high as they

would go. This is the way to reduce the odds

against you — by consistently holding on when a

market is running favorably for you. My main

strength was in my ability to take a position and

stick with it. I was never an in-and-out trader. I

have overstayed markets at times, but this is

not, for me, really a failing. Because most of my

success has been due to my hanging on while

my profits mounted. There is the big secret. Do

with it what you will…
