Sommario/riassunto

Praise for Wall Street's Buried Treasure ""Mr. Houtkin has provided the reader with a wonderful education on a great strategy that has the potential to turn a very limited risk investment into an extraordinarily high return. He makes the critical distinction between penny stocks and serious opportunities available to the low-priced value investor using important examples of his own methodology. Along the way, Houtkin provides valuable insight into some of the inner workings of Wall Street.""-BILL KRAFT, trader, speaker, trading coach, and author of Trade Your Way
