From Hard Knocks to Hot Stocks: How I Made a Fortune Through Smart Investing and How You Can Too

Larry King's review (on the back cover) said it best, "this is the best book I've ever read on making it big. You're in the hands of a master. Enjoy!"

This was definitely one of the best books I've ever read! It's a real page turner(I couldn't put it down!) Davis' life story is intriguing and really makes you laugh out loud many times. It simplifies the techniques of how to make big money in the stockmarket. A friend recommended the book with a rave review, saying he read it in one sitting, and described it as "inspirational" and "exciting." The lessons of the stockmarket are woven into the book with humor (most chapters begin with an apropos joke). It makes great reading for both the layman and the savvy investor. The ideas are fresh and exciting, and based on a high school drop-out turned Harvard businessman's years of real life experience and wisdom learned on the streets and on Wall Street. Davis cuts through all the boring terminology and stuffy theory, to give practical, simply stated advice (guidelines) on how to make it happen. Davis is humorous, honest, colorful, enthusiastic, dynamic and generous (in that he seems to genuinely want to share his formula for success). I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to invest and win big, or for anyone who just wants to have a good laugh and be inspired by a regular guy who turned his life around through hard work, good values, and the undaunting pursuit of a dream.

Morty Davis shares his inspiring rags-to-riches story while outlining an insightful path toward stock market wealth. The book is packed with real-life anecdotes that teach tremendous lessons on business and true success. I devoured the book and loved every minute of it. I can't wait to call my broker and start using the techniques on a portion of my portfolio. The humor and simple strategies make this a book that all will enjoy. I will be sure to include it as a gift idea for many of my friends.

I always felt that with hard work and determination I could succeed.After reading morty davis's book I'm sure of it.

I knew from Hard Knocks To Hot Stocks would be an outstanding book because it got rave reviews from Larry King, Donald Trump, Senator Dole, Ace Greenberg, Barry Farber, John Westergaard, and Carl Icahn. I took their recomendation and read it. They were right , It made me laugh and learn simultaneously. It was inspiring.
