Summary: An updated version of How To Make Money in Stocks
Comment: I read O'Niels book How To Make Money in Stocks which was excellent. The Successful Investor covers much of the same information with some new. It is excellent and particularly pertinent to investors who have become "gun shy" after the last three year long bear market.Obviously a lot of new people became investors in the late 90's and were totally unprepared for what happened post March 2000.Fortunately I moved out of aggressive stocks and funds and partially into cash (money market funds) and into other investments that produced a 20%-40% annualized return even during the bear market.IBD is the first thing I read and I read it voraciously. I would not be in the maket without it. In particular, I check the Monday edition with the top 100 stocks based on eps. I AM NOT TOO PARTUCARLY CONCERNED ABOUT P/E RATIOS AS LONG AS THE STOCK IS GROWING AT AT LEAST A 20% LEVEL QUARTER OVER QUARTER.IBD mas finding these stocks so easy.In 2003 I stayed with tech stocs even though many thought they were overbought, had risen too far and too fast. I bought good names like INTC, DELL, IBM, CSCO, YHOO and EBAY. I also bought some no tech names based on eps and information found in IBD.Interesting is that these stocks are still moving up despite continually hitting new 52 week highs.The Successful Investor covers an easy 5 step method that anybody could follow. O'Niel once again has a chapter on CAN SLIM, the whole basis of his system---which does really work.The Successful Investor is a must read for anyone who is currently in the market or wants to be. I also recommend Winning On Wall Street by Martin Zweig and More Wealth Without Risk by Charles Givens. In More Wealth Without Risk, Givens details his "money mvement strategy" (a technique that I used back in 2000 and still use today) which has you in the best investment for the times.Good luck with your investments!

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: This book reminded me of an infomercial. It just read too quickly. The part about how to read charts is not for beginners. It could have used more detailed diagrams and explanations. O Neil's other book "How to Make Money in Stocks" is better. If you're new to investing read "Now to Buy Stocks" first. All in all I would not recommend this book unless you already have the others and are looking for more material.

Summary: Good book but 1 star below "How to make money....."
Comment: I'm a professional investor who has studied every conceivable investment theory imaginable. I use my own research and invest 10% of my portfolio in each position up to a maximum of 10 positions and a minimum of 0 positions (100% cash at times). I do extensive research every January and narrow the field of stocks to 100 - 150 companies. I value them using EPS estimates from I/B/E/S, Book Value Growth, Cash Flow Growth, EPS Growth, ROE, debt, etc (basic Buffett stuff). From this, I set my target buy point and wait. I look to buy stable companies at bargain prices before they resume their upward trend. When one of the 100-150 companies hits my chosen buy price I reexamine EPS estimates, technical, and sentiment data and then invest 10% of my portfolio in the company (must have guts here and EPS estimates help tremendously). I have averaged over 50%/year since 1998 with an average of 52% in money market the entire time. My worst year was 2001 at +41% (had over 60% in cash that year). I'm considering writing a book about my methods if there is enough interest. The point I'm trying to make is that you ABSOLUTELY need to AUTOMATE your investment strategy. Without a doubt, O'Neil can do this for you. For proof, goto www.aaii.com and look in the stock screen section. He is up 700% since Jan 1998. O'Neil has a great system of investing and I think it will work well for those who diligently apply his techniques. I would take it one step further though and apply EPS estimate revision data in addition to the quarterly reported EPS growth hurdles he outlines in the book (for EPS estimates goto Zacks.com, Multex.com, Yahoo finance and look for estimate trends).
