Arkadius Bizak · A Little Trading Beats a Ton of Work

At nine, I was selling bricks.

Other people saw rubble. I saw goods worth money. Thirty years later I wrote down what trading taught me — you can read it tonight, on the phone in your hand.

Others saw rubble. I saw goods.

After the bricks came carpets. Then antiques — one of those deals was with the Presidential Palace in Poland. Today I work in Miami: jewelry, watches, diamonds.

In thirty years I have seen one thing over and over. Many people work so hard that they never get the time to learn how a trader thinks.

Work is not the enemy. But without an eye for value, simple arithmetic and plain honesty, a person can labour for a lifetime and stay exactly where they started.

No textbook theory

  • how to see value where other people see an ordinary thing
  • why the profit is made when you buy, not when you sell
  • how to talk about price without fear
  • how to trade honestly and keep your soul

Ten short chapters, each ending with one task. About one evening of reading.

Three ways to read it

The e-book (PDF + EPUB) downloads the moment you pay and a copy of the link goes to your e-mail. The Kindle edition arrives in seconds through Amazon. The paperback is printed in the United States, so outside the US it usually takes two to four weeks and costs extra for shipping.

For your children

The same story of honest trading, told for younger readers — three printed books to read, colour and talk through together.
