Summary: Great Book but true Novices Beware.
Comment: This is a great book from a man who obviously knows investing from experience (he has been successful). The book describes investing in Value stocks (moderate to high price stocks in steady companies) using technical analysis.
Patterns of successful stocks in history are reviewed and a system for choosing winning stocks is explain using detailed company information and charts. If you don't like math or don't want to spend time weekly reviewing your investments, this book is probably not for you.
Ture novice investors (like myself) BEWARE. Mr O'Neil does not describe many of the basic concepts he discusses in his book. I found myself becoming frustrated in several chapters as he discussed terms like "price consolidation", "overhead supply","upside buypoint", "pivot point", etc. After reading the book, I went and bought a more basic book (The Neatest Little Guide...5 Stars) to help me as a true novice.
In summary, I am glad I purchased the book. I now understand the investing viewpoint from a Value/Technical investor as well as the patterns of past winning stocks.

Summary: It makes such good sense...It must work!
Comment: I first read the book in 1997. Using the principals I thought I understood and the Investors Business Daily data base (as recommended) I invested in a few stocks. Low and behold! They went up, just like they were supposed to. Then I got smug with my success. I strayed from the principals of CANSLIM. I treated the seven rules like entries on a buffet table. I took some and disregarded the others. Soon my investments soured, I lost money and I abandoned the whole process. After that I drifted from technique to technique. None worked. Now three years later, I am reading the book again. I am still not investing until I get the O'Neil technique nailed down tight. Some tips for would-be readers. (1)O'Neil commented in response to a question about which rules would he allow exceptions to. He remarked that he cannot allow any exceptions because they are not his rules. They are the "market's" rules. Do not allow yourself to tell the market what works. It will tell you--every day. (2)The Investors Business Daily "IBD" is the data base of stock information that you must reference to make sense of his book. It is not a newpaper, it is a reference, a daily "news letter". Do not be put-off by O'Neil's constant referal to its proprietary content. (3)The chapter and references to reading, analyzing and understanding charts are written for experienced technical investors. If you cannot pick out a consolidation before you read the book, you won't be able to pick one out afterward, either. The IBD does have an educational section each day and from reading these over many months I got further insight into the technical concepts he refers to as "sound bases" and especially "pivot points". I still am struggling to pull CANSLIM together into a concise executable process. When I do, however, I have confidence it will pay off handsomely!

Summary: Invest comfortably
Comment: I have been investing in the stock market since 1998. I've made my share and lost my share. However, it was always a chaotic affair. I wasn't investing based on anything solid, it was just going with the market. Besides who could lose in the 90's? Then came 2000 and 2001.
Lucky for me I ran into this book and let me tell you something, it has made me comfortable with the way I invest. I don't need to keep up with the market every minute and I don't stress as much. I also understand better how to read graphs and how to interpret market activities. A book well worth it.
It does mention the Investors Business Daily paper a lot because they publish it but it's a worthy paper also so I don't see anything wrong with that.
