@travis.woo.trades: One book can take you further than most “trading education.” It’s How I Made $2 Million in the Stock Market by Nicolas Darvas. Old book. Simple idea. Still lethal. The system is basically: buy strength (breakouts), let it run, add as it proves itself. Sounds too simple… until you live through a real bear market. Because the underrated superpower is what happens when the market is ugly: there are no clean breakouts. So instead of “buying dips” all the way down, you get stopped out… and then you’re forced to wait. That waiting is not laziness. It’s defense. It preserves capital while everything bleeds. And here’s the part that matters even more than the rules: asset selection. Bear markets give you information. Watch what goes down the least. That’s strength. That’s demand. People refuse to sell it. Those names tend to become leaders when the next bull cycle shows up. So when breakouts come back, you already know what to focus on. My whole approach is built around that DNA: strength, patience, and defense first. Click the link in my bio to learn more. #trading #investing #stocks #markets #mindset
