Editorial Review:

Product Description:


THE BUSINESSWEEK, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER!



The bestselling guide to buying stocks, from the founder of Investor's Business Daily­­now completely revised and updated



When it was first published, How to Make Money in Stocks hit the investing world like a jolt, providing readers with the first in-depth explanation of William J. O'Neil's innovative CAN SLIM investing method. Five years later, O'Neil, founder for the industry icon Investor's Business Daily, revised his classic text and provided readers with a newer glimpse on how the average investor can make money in the equities market.



This third edition of How to Make Money in Stocks has been revised and updated with new chapters designed to help investors increase their performance.

Like his international bestselling 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, which stayed on international business bestseller lists for close to 6 months in 2000, How to Make Money in Stocks is the best reference for the individual investor in how to stay afloat and ahead in the rocky and volatile equities markets of the 21st century.



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: - My second reading of the same book, and still great.
This is my second reading (the other was the 2nd edition) of How to Make Money in Stocks within two weeks. What is different this time is that I made extensive notes from each chapter and typed them up. Now, I will begin studying the CAN SLIM system and start applying them to see if it works. The biggest improvement of this book from the 2nd edition is the introduction of Investor's Business Daily newspaper and website and how they work. I just recently enrolled myself for a free trial for both, ... Read More

Rating: - A comprehensive (and demonstraby successful) investment approach - beyond mere stock screening
The CANSLIM stock investing methodology outlined in "How to Make Money in Stocks" is a time tested method that incorporates how the equity (stock) market(s) really work - for the passive, minority, outside investor. It is a 80/20 approach (with William O'Neil's approach, proprietary metrics and tools you can achieve 80% of the success with 20% of the effort) and explicitly rides the coattails of the market (read and react - don't fight/argue with the market). This system *IS* designed for the individual ... Read More

Rating: - Best websites that follow O'Neil's CANSLIM
The best websites that follow O'Neil's CANSLIM strategy are www.gilmoreport.com, run by two market wizards, and www.canslim.net. Though not CANSLIM, I also like www.decisionmoose.com.

Rating: - A Good Book for the Passive Investor
This book is very cheap. It offers a few insights that are significant for individuals who are just starting to become interested in the stock market. The specific strategies that are offered in this book are not very effective. (Although O'Neil does demonstrates the important concept of not letting your losses run)

For example, a stock that has lost 50% of its value would require it to double in order for the original investor to recover his money. Therefore, it is important that the investor ... Read More
