  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.

  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.

  Good introduction to equity investing for retail investors. O’Neil’s methods do not work for professional fund managers.

  Some good thoughts mixed with some b.s. and a lot of self advertising for his business. The pro america agenda was unnecessary as was the views on politics and Iran.

  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.
