—Victor Sperandeo Author of Trader Vic on Commodities

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.
