Nicolas Darvas created what he coined the “Darvas Method.” Darvas disagreed with old the Wall Street adage “buy low, sell high.” These words of wisdom are based on buying stocks because of their valuation. A stock with a low price and a high valuation is, theoretically, supposed to rise to what it is valued at. However Darvas believed that in order to make a profit, a trader had to “buy high, sell higher.” This concept went strongly against most traders’ view of choosing stocks, which is often done by judging stocks on their value. Unfortunately the valuation method is very difficult and complex, and is often incorrect.
