Think & Trade Like a Champion: The Secrets, Rules & Blunt Truths of a Stock Market Wizard Hardcover

I first started taking control of my own finances sometime around 15 years ago, and like many others I suspect, I made many many mistakes. I read as much as I could, and whilst there was lots of good stuff out there that taught me loads about company accounts, BS, P&L and Cash Flow statements, and gave copious amounts of advice on the plethora of ratios that you can use to analyse specific stocks as well as charting, after years of reading although I was somewhat wiser and periodically successful, I still lacked a plan and an approach by which I could make any success I achieved stick. After ten years, I even got to the stage where I was on the point of capitulation, after a particularly unsuccessful period. It all seemed more effort than it was worth, and the input was far exceeding the output.Anyway, after some support from my wife, and investing in various materials by Tony Robbins to get my motivational self back on track, I became aware of the books on trading / investment written by Mark Minervini. The teachings of Tony Robbins had stressed the importance of establishing mentors in your life and who better in the world of investment than the guy who had achieved annual returns way beyond the dreams of most people. So, I bought '....Stock Market Wizard' and shortly thereafter followed up with '....Like a Champion'. To this day, 'Wizard' resides on my bedside, and 'Champion' (Kindle edition), is on my laptop, never far from reach. I repeatedly refer to the content, and re-read various chapters on multiple occasions, whenever I feel that I need some more direction or support. What I particularly like about the books is that they are not prescriptive about following any particular approach or using specific techniques, but they encourage that you develop your own style, whilst also giving expert guidance on the strategies that Mark himself pursued to achieve excellent returns.Anyway, all I can say is that since embracing some of the strategies Mark shares, losses in any 12 month period have become a thing of the past, and whilst that doesn't necessarily translate into spectacular gains anything close to those achieved by Mark, what it does translate into is a performance beyond anything that I previously achieved and a confidence that I am now doing something right and doing it consistently. Whilst Mark's books are not intended, as I see it, for those new to the art of trading and investments, if there is one set of books you need on your bookshelf and which will guide you to consistently making money in the markets, it is these.

In my humble opinion this book is the diamond on the crown for all books Mark has written. As in this book he speaks purely about psychological and risk management side of trading , which is the most important thing in trading. What impressed me the most was the “bomb” of motivation which Mark hits you with at the beginning of the book . It’s just overall review which doesn’t really gives enough props for this excellent book, the best thing to do just buy it, read it and enjoy it .

I bought it for my husband to help with stock market analysis and choosing shares to invest in

Absolutely brilliant book. I was so impressed with the detail and how it was explained, with only the best knowledge from such an incredible expert. I'll be reading his next book very soon!

Do not even think of buying this book unless you have first read Mr Minervini's first book - Like a Stock Market Wizard.That book is excellent: see my review on it dated 23/02/2018.This book (Champion) has some useful additional material. If you are one of the very few people who has the time, discipline, commitment and will to try Mr Minervini's methods, then definitely by this book.However, be aware that well over half the content is repetition of the first book. Mr Minervini's publisher should have published an updated edition of the Wizard book with the additional material added.

This is amazing book. I learn a lot during day to day trading with the guideline from this book. This book is NOT teach you how to become a quick rich, however it teach you the process & the strategies you can use to become a better trader. Mark given practical approach in this book. Many Thanks to Mark share his long experience into this book.

Great follow on from the first book. Mark explains his framework very well, which is tried and tested. Highly recommended

Probably the best investment I’ve ever made. Mark provides the perfect blueprint for how to make life changing profits by share trading. Easy to read the book provides a level of knowledge that allows the reader to trade confidently in the market with strong emphasis on managing risk and hence preserving capital. Absolutely essential reading for newcomers and experienced stock traders.
