He uses examples but any idiot can cherry pick a few examples to prove a point. That does not make a convincing argument.

It seems like the time I spend reviewing an athlete's past performance and projecting future ones could be better spent on researching stocks, something that could actually make me money and possibly provide a similar stimulation. How to Make Money in Stocks teaches readers how to identify good companies that are about to become great and then how to determine if and when to buy their stock.

The mnemonic CAN SLIM William O'Neil's book made me want to give up fantasy sports and take up investing. The mnemonic CAN SLIM describes how he identifies fundamentally sound companies. The mnemonic seemed like a gimmick targeted at suckers who paid to learn about stocks in a Holiday Inn ball room, but the content of the mnemonic seemed sound. The portion of the book I found most interesting was learning how to interpret stock charts.

O'Neil recommends buying stocks after they have formed a good base price. The base refers to the shape a stock's historical price has made in recent weeks. There are a few shapes he recommends and at first these shapes seemed about as arbitrary as picking a loose grouping of stars and calling it a constellation, but after further research it seems like there is some truth to this advice. I can definitely look at the chart of a stock that went up and identify the base pattern signalling its rise.

The real question is whether I can identify a base pattern without the benefit of hind sight. If so, goodbye fantasy sports. If not, fantasy sports, I'll never stray again. Oct 20, Curtis rated it it was amazing Recommended to Curtis by: I've read a few investment books, and this is the most comprehensive system I've found for determining when EXACTLY to enter and exit positions.

The consistent, unemotional method that O'Neil provides has helped me immensely in thinking about and executing my investing strategies. Aug 31, Wayne rated it it was ok Shelves: Overall I think that the author has some good information that he is strying to get across, but unfortunately I felt that his writing and education style was poor.

For a subject that I generally find very interesting, it was a dry book that I was definitely ready to put down once I reached the end. This is more of a reflection of his presentation of the information rather than is message. Sep 07, Marco den Ouden rated it it was amazing. See my review here: How to Make Money in Stocks. May 29, Raphael Bernardo rated it really liked it. I mostly read biographies and other non fiction.

Even so this was a hard read for me because it was packed with theories and data or history to back it up. Maybe a few personal stories here and there I read those faster. Knowing that helped a lot because halfway through I started to question if this book is just one big sales pitch.

After reading an entire chapter dedicated to promoting their product I started to notice every other page has their product mentioned as being used to make a critical decisions. I just finished, so I'm still not sure what I think of the book. Their method seems way too perfect. I couldn't find much information about their Company or William J. Also all the people in the testimonials who made money mentioned they made it in between Anybody with a brain could have made money during that time.

A lot of the methods in the book contradicts everything everybody says ex. Doing things the Warren Buffet Way and Buying a good company like Coca Cola to keep for 10 years I really want to believe what I read works, but I might have to buy a subscription to their database to do it in the best way possible.

I'm skeptical for that reason. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's a classic, William J.

O'Neil includes a great story about how he made millions by betting everything he owned on margin multiple times, and besides the sales pitch it is a pretty good book.

I'm not a big investor but I have heard money managers say a lot facts he mentioned as doctrine It is for long term investing - months. The learning rate using canslim is very low, because you have to spend weeks, months before your forecast proves wrong or right! Right now, this is not what i want, so i close this book, after reading most important parts: As one reviewer on amazon stated: Jan 29, Ash Turki rated it it was ok.

The foundation of this classic by William O'Neil is his CANSLIM framework. He adds a richness of other ideas, including learning when to buy, when to sell, and how to develop your own style. The book is also filled with charts throughout, such that you sometimes need set it aside and return later with fresh eyes. The 4th edition includes data back into the 19th century all the way through the financial crisis.

I'm glad I took the recommendation for this book made to me by a master technicia The foundation of this classic by William O'Neil is his CANSLIM framework. I'm glad I took the recommendation for this book made to me by a master technician I work with. Nov 05, Michael rated it it was amazing Shelves: Having daytraded for 2. The CANSLIM is great for finding quality stocks. One could apply it to a shorter time frame than suggested in the book and still be trading a strong stock, which of course gives you greater chances for a successful trade.

Sounds simple doesn't it. Jan 16, Ian Cassel rated it really liked it Shelves: I enjoyed the author's strategy.

As a microcap investor in very illiquid securities I'm not that big of a proponent of technical analysis. I enjoyed his thoughts on selling, specifically keeping your losses small. Aug 27, Katie O'bryan rated it it was amazing. Mar 14, Frederic Kerr rated it it was ok. This is a good primer on charts as an investment tool, but charts should never be the prime method by which people choose investments.

O'Neil is the founder of the Investor's Business Daily newspaper, which focuses mostly on charts. Aug 31, Ardi Nursyamsu rated it really liked it. It's a good companion after you finished some of Market Wizard series. May 22, aldo added it Shelves: CAN SLIM is powerful strategy for picking the best stock. I learned so much from reading this book.

Still at the starting point, but ready to make better decisions.

Oct 14, Nishu rated it did not like it. M unable to open and read.. What hell is this. Jun 15, Mido Gamal rated it it was amazing Shelves: Mar 15, Oliver rated it liked it. This was a hard read for me as is most of the technical analysis books that I have read.

The book has several nuggets that a beginner or seasoned stock speculators can pickup. Most of the book is constantly reminding you about how a company—that the author is related to—can help you get where you want to be.

From Top 12 Investment Books to Start Off How to Make Money in Stocks, written by William J. This book provides investors with hundreds of charts of past winners in order to help stockpickers identify stocks with significant upside potential.

The method relies From Top 12 Investment Books to Start Off How to Make Money in Stocks, written by William J. Mar 01, Camille rated it really liked it.

The idea is that anyone can do well in a bull market , , but you can do better with a portfolio of market leaders. Even if they seem expensive at first glance -- once-costly stocks like Apple, after all, went on to far greater highs.

He focuses on how to identify basing patterns, breakouts, market tops, and other important technical indicators. This was really rough at first and I hated it, mostly because I couldn't understand a damned thing I was reading. The very first pages are stock charts Even though my interest went up as I continued through the book, this beginning was very frustrating.

One of the first things I learned in my science and math classes was how to properly label and display graphs, so that anyone looking at them can understand what the relationships are. I realize that in the world of stock This was really rough at first and I hated it, mostly because I couldn't understand a damned thing I was reading. I realize that in the world of stock investing, these charts are commonly shown as O'Neil has them.

But the purpose of this book is to explain the system to newbies like me. The very next chapter is "how to read charts like a pro", but it mostly goes into identifying patterns within the charts and includes a lot of heavy jargon.

Some sort of glossary or primer leading up to the charts would have been most helpful for those of us that are totally new to technical analysis.

Once I got past that issue, though, I was super intrigued. All in all I would say that after having read this book, I really don't know how to read stock charts any better, but I'm definitely excited to continue learning more about technical analysis as an investment tool. It is a very concise and hard to read book that requires focus and attention. It took me a few months to get through it the first time.

The book questions old belief in buying cheap and selling expensive. O'Neil attempts to teach intuitive interpretation of charts, and shares from the wealth of his experience and knowledge.

I wish I could learn from the less demanding source. Although main target audience for the book are speculators who want to commit It is a very concise and hard to read book that requires focus and attention. Although main target audience for the book are speculators who want to commit all their time and resources to the art of making money, it has definitely interesting approach and will enrich anybody who reads it.

Aug 11, K. This book is a classic for investing in individual stocks and understanding stock market charts. His research is not based on personal opinion, but historical data of winning stocks over decades. His book is written to educate the reader to allow personal analyzes of market conditions and stock performance along with correct timing techniques and guarding against heavy loses. A great deal of information and it will probably need to be reread a few times to absorb it all.

But, the information is h This book is a classic for investing in individual stocks and understanding stock market charts. But, the information is helpful and priceless.

Jan 07, Adam rated it it was amazing. I seldom ever made a dime trading stocks until I learned O'Neil's CAN SLIM system. If you're looking to set aside everything you know about investing or get started invested, I would highly recommend adding this book to your library.

Book Review: How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times and Bad – Money Summit & Wealth Expo

It's a great strategy that has been proven to help you apply hard facts to your research rather than relying on hunches. The system also has sound logic and structure behind it whereas most investment books tend to be more grounded in talk and less on action.

This book is an excellent foundation for understanding the stock market. His CAN SLIM methodology focuses on using historical studies to find chart patterns of fundamentally strong companies. These chart patterns are based on human psychology, which does not change and affects crowd behavior.

Apr 13, James Miller rated it liked it. Althogh O'neil denies it, he is a momentum trader - just a very good one. Some of the technical analysis stuff in the book was a little bit over the top in my opinion. But other strategies like only buying stocks with 3 consecutive quarters of high EPS growth make a lot of sense. O'neil also bashes on value investing. Overall, this book is not very good if you don't know anything about investing, but great if u are looking to add a little edge to your strategy.

Feb 11, Coral rated it liked it. I'm taking a personal finance class and this is one of the text books. So far, it's interesting and written for someone who has only a small amount of knowledge about the stock market i.

Definitely not the most interesting book, but written pretty clear and to the point. Hungarian by birth, Nicolas Darvas trained as an economist at the University of Budapest. Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and fifty pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey.

During his off hours as a dancer, he read some books on the market and the great speculators, spending as much as eight hours a day studying. Darvas ploughed his money into a couple of stocks that had been hitting their week high. He was utterly surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit. At the age of 39, after accumulating his fortune, Darvas documented his techniques in the book, How I Made 2,, in the Stock Market.

The book describes his unique "Box System", which he used to buy and sell stocks. Share on your website title link preview: Trivia About How to Make Money Quotes from How to Make Money Your health and peace of mind are always more important than any stock.
