That is due to his use of risk management :// ng I have always believed that to be a successful investor you have a large tuition bill to pay in hard losses at the University of Wall Street before you can graduate and start making money Mark supplies the best textbook on growth stock investing, and so you can avoid paying such a high tuition ht With his help, a determined effort, and discipline, you can get an Ivy League education for the cost of a hardcover book If you are a seasoned investor this book is a graduate-level class that will certainly add to your investment knowledge, as it has mine Mark has also saved me a great deal of time because he wrote the book that I always wanted to write and did it better than I ever could! Enjoy, and may you all have investment success!
