Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This is a how-to book on making money in the stock market, whether the market is going up or falling or holding steady. What makes the book different is the author's own fantastic success as an investor. William O'Neil is founder and CEO of Investor's Daily, an up-and-coming competitor of The Wall Street Journal in delivering financial news and information to investors. O'Neil has used his stock market savvy to underwrite this ambitious effort. In How to Make Money in Stocks, O'Neil shows the reader when to buy and when to sell under a variety of market conditions. He provides the formula for his own success (based on an extensive study of the most successful stocks from 1953 to 1990) and translates it into practical advice for anyone interested in investing. He takes a broad view of investments. In addition to stocks, this book contains valuable tips on mortgages, retirement funds, savings accounts, real estate, IRAs, and mutual funds. O'Neil is down to earth and easy to read, so that novices as well as professionals will benefit from what he has to say. All in all, this book should have wide appeal among investors at all levels of sophistication. The beginner will learn how; the veteran will gain access to the secrets and strategies of one of their most successful colleagues.

Amazon.com Review:
From the school of unemotional investing comes the classic How to Make Money in Stocks, by Wall Street analyst and publisher William O'Neil. Readers new to securities will find it an excellent primer, one that relies on time-honored indicators such as quarterly earnings, market capitalization, and daily indexes. O'Neil's study of winning stocks stretches back to the 1960s, and he shares his insights here, describing what characterizes a growth stock, when to cut your losses (at 7 or 8 percent, no more), and how to spot a market top.

The techniques in How to Make Money in Stocks are hardly revolutionary, but therein lies their strength, as O'Neil claims his is "a winning system in good times or bad." Investors interested in Net stocks might be disappointed--the author's first rule is that a company must show a pattern of growing profits, which disqualifies many dot coms. (Try Rule Breakers, Rule Makers for a different take.) O'Neil's approach to stocks is, above all, rational, and he pays little heed to market hype.

Those new to investing would do well to read this book before embarking, and even more seasoned traders may find How to Make Money in Stocks a refreshing return to basics. Markets may swing bull and bear, but O'Neil promises to stand firm. --Demian McLean

Rating: - Classic
A must have investment book but this method requires a lot of close monitoring of the market which most of us can't do as non-professional investors.

Rating: - What this book is about
Some reviews think this book is about

* using technical analysis to buy and sell stocks in general, it is not, it is about buying the best of breed (in the very best industry groups) when the time is right and only this point is determined by looking at the chart, once this is passed in strong volume, chances are good that prices will move higher. (VOLUME is one of the classic indicators, see Livermore, Darvas etc)

* it is pushing IBD too hard, I agree on that, and I would ... Read More

Rating: - One of the best book in stocks!
Pros:

* I know nothing about the stock market until I read this book.
* Very well explain on how to tackle the market during good times or bad.
* Even you know nothing about stock, you can have better understanding on this industry once you have read this book.

Cons:

* This book is good for gaining more knowledge but does not provide any plan or action that we need to take in order to succeed in this business. Overall, it is still ok.
