Das Buch ist eine gute Zusammenfassung der als CAN SLIM (tm) bekannten Anlagemethode. Deren eher fundamentale Ausrichtung (Teil 1 des Buches) wird ergänzt durch technische Beispiele historisch erfolgreicher Chart-Formationen samt Erläuterung (Teil 2). Teil 3 beschäftigt sich mit Aspekten wie Branchenrotation, der Reaktion auf Nachrichten etc.

Für's Day- und Swing-Trading ist CAN SLIM (tm) zwar zu langsam, verbessert aber tendenziell die Selektion. Daher die 4 Punkte.

Eher peinlich wirken dagegen ein paar längliche Commercials zu diversen Publikationen des Autors sowie die auf den letzten Seiten angehängten "Success Stories" dankbarer Anleger(-schäflein?). Wer solche Passagen auch mal in Gnaden überlesen kann, lernt was dazu ;-)

Exceptionally well written in an easy-to-understand prose from the founder of IBD. The can slim approach is an invaluable tool, especially as it removes the trader's emotions and uses good, simple common sense. Truthfully, the book is one big plug for the newspaper, but there's a reason. IDB is an invaluable tool, so much so that I began reading it and going by its recommendations. Since I now live overseas, I had to subscribe to DailyGraphs Online.... - but this cost along with O'Neil's 2 books have made me a lot of money. Highly recommended! Couple it with his 24 lessons book and Edgar's book on technical analysis, and you have a winning combination!

It's so straghtforward it's silly. How to Make Money in Stocks. The funny thing is that what William O'Neil discusses in this book really works! His CANSLIM method makes sense and my favorite pattern, the cup-and-handle, has made me a very happy camper. His explanation of volume and volume spikes has help me find big moves on a regular basis in my trading.

I think that this book helps people earn more on their capital immediately by translating seemingly random price action into meaningful signals for investment that most people can understand. If you don't believe me, take a look at what a few of his students have to say. Kevin Marder and Loren Fleckenstein (formerly of O'Neil's newspaper, IBD) talk the talk when it comes to trading at TradingMarkets.com. Jeff Cooper, another successful trader and author, can't get enough of what O'Neil has to say.

Bottom Line: A very good investment of time and money.

How to Make Money in Stocks? If you can make it through this book, you're half way there. Not written for beginners, Bill's book tells you in detail- what, when, and how to select a winner. This would be a great beginner's book if used in conjunction with Barron's Financial Hand Book or Dictionary of Financial Terms- just to fill in some basics..

The selection method detailed in this book is called CANSLIM. The information, and CANSLIM method, is based on years of research and number crunching with main frame computers some years ago. O'Neil and his associates profiled 100s of already successful companies to determine what characteristics made a company's stock rise BEFORE it was a winner. His findings, and the CANSLIM selection method, are explained in great detail.

William O'Neil is also the CEO and Editor of the Investors Business Daily. His CANSLIM method of stock selection can best be executed using his IBD Newspaper. Surprise! Bound inside, there is a coupon for 10 free issues.

"How To Make Money In Stocks" is not the easiest book to understand for the beginner. It's information though will help narrow down 1000s of stocks to just one or two. I use it as a reference book and refer to it often. Take some notes on the inside cover- your going to need them.

An excellent buy, this book is destined to be a classic. As William himself says of one of his chapters: "one of the most valuable chapters in this book.... should be worth several hundred times what you paid for [it]. I agree.

I've read numerous investment books and this is by far the best I've read! After reading it investing almost seemed "too easy". I was skeptical but shortly there after I turned a 100% return in two weeks! I stepped out of the market top which I recognized from reading this book. I recommend this book to all my friends. I also subscribe to the author's paper, The Investor's Business Daily. I have purchased a hundred books from Amazon but this is the only one I've bothered to post a review... BUY THIS BOOK!

CANSLIM is wonerfull if you are a long term investor. I got confused in how he explains market direction. Definetly for the longer term investor.

If you've just been shaken from your buy and hold slumber by the recent slip of the NASDAQ into a bear market you should take a look at this book. The book gives you a system for selecting, buying and selling stocks based on technicals AND fundamentals. The criticisms that the book is merely a plug for IBD are unfair. IBD is the only publication that presents information in a form suitable for stock selection using this book's system. The book will make you a better consumer of stockmarket information from other publications as well. . . . . Good luck.

Whilst there is some useful information in this book, it is largely an unashamed plug for the newspaper "Investor's Business Daily". For example, an entire chapter (16: How to Make Money Reading the Daily Financial News Pages) is unreadable, as it talks ONLY of the "invaluable" stats available solely in that publication. I don't enjoy paying money to read hard-sell. You're better off buying something with a bit more integrity, like "One Up On Wall Street" by Peter Lynch. Good luck with the stock market.

This book have good reasons to subscribe to his newspaper, but when applied to the stock market- it doesn't come close. He lacks the fundamental and technical analysis that his competitors explain in their books.

The Founder of IBD keeps on trying to give you a sales pitch for his newspaper in almost every single page of the book. This is the only book that I've read that tries to make you buy additional resources from them.

Overall- This book is nothing, but a big sales pitch for his newspaper.

Rating: Hold

I read many books on investing but this is the one that opened my eyes and allowed me to make serious money. Making money in the market is tricky and with 10,000 stocks to choose from you need to be able to do two things well to succeed, 1) pick the best of the best, and 2) time your trade. This book will help you understand exactly how to do this.

This book will give you the HOW and his daily publication, IBD or Investor's Business Daily, will provide the WHAT. His book(s) go with IBD like a hand in a glove to give you the Midas touch and are truly worth their weight in gold. I cannot recommend his books or daily publication too strongly.
