I bought the book for 3 reasons: 1) it had a high Amazon rating 2) a Schwab broker said it was a great book he had reread 30 times 3) It was 4th edition which implied it sold well, was revised and up to date. One sentence in the book made me STOP reading it and set it aside as a lost cause. That sentence was at bottom of page 117 and said, “If you work, and cannot watch the market constantly, small quote devices or quotes available on cell phones and web sites will help you stay on top of potential breakout points.” I do not want to spend every waking moment watching the market go up and down looking for potential breakout points. Due to his work, a Schwab broker can, and is, watching the market all the time. Potential readers should know that up front before they buy the book. Live and learn. Take care.

Not only have I saved much of my retirement savings applying the principles of this book, but added money also. I like the way Mr. O’Neil in plain language displays and explains past market results through the years, plus his proven techniques in the Stock Market. Many others out in the market still don’t admit their mistakes and worse yet, don’t learn from them!! This book is a must if you want to succeed in making money in stocks.

Excellent book,a bargain, the charts of the greatest winners in first part of book is great-unfortunately for me IBD ran a “special” course a few months before the book was released with less material than what is in these charts of the greatest winners and charged each attendee 5K each-i don’t know if anyone else is as pissed off as i am-it was a blatant rip off to offer the course knowing the same material, in more detail, was going to be published a few months later for under 20 dollars. So get the book but buyer beware when it comes to high priced courses. All you need is this edition of the book.

William J. O’Neil is “the man” and all his books are “Five Star.” Unfortunately, the Kindle DX version of this book rates only a single star – if that. The charts are basically washed out and unreadable – even when zoomed. I bought the DX version and saw it was a mistake. I’m buying the hard copy so I can learn from the charts.

This is a book with very good review and written by a very famous person. However, unless you do have subscription of IBD, 90% of the book is useless. It does not teach you how to use all kinds of freely available data from internet (like from yahoo or google) but it is very limited to the data and analysis results provided by IBD. It doesn’t even tell you how IBD obtains those results (I guess that the main reason IBD can still make money). However, living in 21st century with almost all information available for free, you cannot get much from the book.
