Summary: EXTREMELY SCARCE TRADING COURSE from Wyckoff written in the early 1930s (Wyckoff died in 1934). The course has stood the test of time. This is a very difficult title to find even in reprint form. Originals, if you can find one, are 5 figures. Wyckoff was a very disciplined trader and this course reflects his focus, tenacity and attention to detail.
Bookseller Note: There seems to be some debate and confusion on different versions of this title and their publication dates. The title page on THIS version shows copyright dates from 1931 to 1944 (see title page photo), most of the individual pages have copyright dates of 1931 AND 1937. Unfortunately I can not speak to the reason behind the dates, but have done my best to present the data exactly as it appears on the documents themselves. We've included a complete Table of Contents (see photo or text above), so you can confirm whether this is the version you're looking for or not. This reprint version is the same one that was originally sold through The Investment Centre Bookstore in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 80s. 400 pages. Highly Collectible Reprint.
Status: Now available in Hardback addition here.
