Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Provides proven, easy-to-apply techniques for building a profitable portfolio. Cuts through the static of conventional wisdom with a refreshing array of common-sense strategies that help you accurately gauge the market, buy and sell at the right moment, and successfully manage your portfolio. Softcover.

Amazon.com Review:
In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks, William O'Neil, distills his 40 years of experience, study, and analysis of the market into a series of lessons about how to buy and sell stocks. O'Neil is neither a pure fundamentalist nor a technician--instead, he advocates blending both approaches, applying fundamental analysis to identifying the best companies and technical analysis to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account (always cut your losses at 8 percent of the purchase price) and basic chart reading (identifying market tops and bottoms) to understanding relative price strength and tips on building a concentrated portfolio. While not absolutely necessary, it helps to have a copy of Investor's Business Daily handy: these lessons were drawn from a series that O'Neil wrote, which frequently mention features unique to that newspaper. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is a easy-to-read, commonsense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C. Edwards




Rating: - Lost all respect for O'Neil
I read `The Successful Investor' and `How To Make Money in Stocks' by O'Neil. Both are good books for the beginning investor. However `24 Essential Lessons' is a big disappointment, it is nothing but a plug for O'Neil's newsletter the Investor's Business Daily. '24 Lessons should be given away for free to entice people to use Investor's Business Daily (IBD) instead of sold as a book. There is a plug for IBD on almost every page, often more then five times per page.

Rating: - Extended promotion for Investor's Business Daily...
Just finished "24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success" by Bill O'Neil, who happens to be the publisher of Investor's Business Daily. Consequently, the book is more or less an extended commercial for the paper -it is an investor's guide, but an investor's guide as applied to using Investor's Business Daily.

However, there's a good balance of information here. If you can steer past the obvious bias, he has some good tips I'd like to try out some day. He presents a formulaic approach ... Read More

Rating: - To All The Reviewers Denouncing O'Neil's "Sales Pitch" Of IBD - It is the HEART AND SOUL of his investment philosophy.
That is WHY he is "plugging" his paper. You must UNDERSTAND his paper to USE his paper so he "PLUGS" his paper - more correctly - DISSECTS - his paper so you can more easily USE the information. To all the ingnoramus reviewers who denounce this book as a "Sales Pitch" have clearly not bothered to pick up and read the Investors Business Daily but are paranoid of being sold and snookered. Perhaps they've been had too many times. Sometimes its ok to be sold. If you're sold on sound princibles and solid ... Read More
