$9.94
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.

I learned a long time ago that the best way to truly learn something is the read it over and over again and in ways that are slightly different. Repetition plus a little difference in technique to help your brain grow !! Well, this book doesn’t cover any new material for the CANSLIM system but it’s conducted in a slightly different way to help you think about trading differently. It’s a quick way to think about the system and continue to help you absorb the material. It’s a good book that will help you make money.. If you follow O’Neil’s sage advice.

I’m a big William O’Neil fan. Enough to know today is his birthday. But that said, this book is more of a summary of How to Make Money in Stocks. It is definitely an easier read but is not as specific as the other books. It’s a nice review but How to Make Money in Stocks is the trader bible and always will be. Happy Birthday William O’Neil!

William J. O’Neal has 3 very good books, including this one. I have read all three multiple times and use How to Make Money in Stocks as my main reference. This book is a quick reference to his big book.
