How to Buy Stocks – Louis Engel – Vintage Paperback | Classic Investment Guide & Wall Street Wisdom

$2.00

Thinking of buying stocks? Here’s the book that taught your grandparents how to hustle on Wall Street.

How to Buy Stocks is a timeless primer on stock investing, first published in the 1950s and revised through multiple editions—including this classic seventh edition. Forget TikTok finance tips—this book breaks down the fundamentals with clarity and old-school confidence.

Inside you’ll find:

  • How the stock market actually works

  • Choosing brokers, reading quotes, and avoiding rookie mistakes

  • Strategies for long-term growth (before “HODL” was a meme)

Equal parts practical and nostalgic, this is a fascinating look at both investing principles and financial history.

📖 Condition: Vintage paperback with mild wear. Pages clean, spine strong—Wall Street wisdom intact.

⚠️ Content Warnings

  • Advice from a pre-digital era (no crypto tips here!)

  • Language and references may feel dated

🫶 Perfect for: Finance history buffs, collectors, and anyone who loves a good retro investing perspective.
