Mandatory Reading!

A great history lesson on chart reading, understanding fundamental and technical indicators, and what drives the market. I felt this book lead to a much better understanding of how the market works through the eyes of a long-term investor. Some dated information, but still quite valuable for day trading. The CANSLIM method is insightful and definitely works. Highly recommended!

Legendary proven system

Just finsihed reading the 4th edition, and loved it. The CAN SLIM model is an a league of its own, focusing on vital fundies and chart patterns. The book also shows you how to use the IBD as a powerful tool. A must read for every investor.

Good read

Even if you don't follow the CANSLIM method in your trading for whatever reason (my time horizon is shorter), the ideas here make a lot of sense, and it's worth reading.

I like that Wm O'Neill looks at both fundamental and technical factors when assessing stocks, which makes sense over his timeframes, and it generates some spectacular results when it wins.

Some reviewers knock the fact that there are 100 pgs of charts in the book, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Since those technical patterns work on shorter time horizons, the more charts to stare at and analyze, the better.

Of course, the book is really a plug for IBD.

Good book for new investors

I went to my college's library and checked out this book because Tim Sykes recommended it in one of his blogs and it was one of the best books i have read when it comes to learning to how trade and how to stay focused with stocks. This book is very helpful for people who are thinking about trading stocks, investing or just want general knowledge about business. Well recommend. Read it 4 times!
