Amazon.com Review
In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks, William O'Neil, distills his 40 years of experience, study, and analysis of the market into a series of lessons about how to buy and sell stocks. O'Neil is neither a pure fundamentalist nor a technician--instead, he advocates blending both approaches, applying fundamental analysis to identifying the best companies and technical analysis to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account (always cut your losses at 8 percent of the purchase price) and basic chart reading (identifying market tops and bottoms) to understanding relative price strength and tips on building a concentrated portfolio. While not absolutely necessary, it helps to have a copy of Investor's Business Daily handy: these lessons were drawn from a series that O'Neil wrote, which frequently mention features unique to that newspaper. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is a easy-to-read, commonsense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C. Edwards

 Complete money investing guide book, 2009-09-26
It's not as helpful as I hoped it would be. I felt more like I was in a history class

 The author keeps educating individual investors, 2009-08-14
This is a short and easy-to-read book that provides individual investors with essential lessons to find investment success. The author says that the most important lesson that investors should follow is to cut investment losses after an 8% decline.
Unlike other investment books that either preach following fundamental or technical analysis, this book recommends using both before making purchasing and selling decisions. Fundamental analysis tells investors about the quality of the companies and technical analysis explains price movements. For those who master these lessons, investment success is more likely to happen.

Two great sites that are faithful to O'Neil's strategy, 2009-05-21
I've found the best websites that follow O'Neil's CANSLIM strategy are www.gilmoreport.com, run by two market wizards Gil Morales and Chris Kacher, and www.canslim.net. Though not CANSLIM, I also like www.decisionmoose.com.

 Good starter, 2009-01-26
This is a little frustrating. Basically the concepts are interesting, logical, and accessible, but there is insufficient space given to explaining, in more than an outline, just "why" the concepts are relevant, and, more important, exactly how to apply them. Of course, Mr. O'Neill has a business going, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to serve up everything at once.

 Lost all respect for O'Neil, 2008-07-24
I read `The Successful Investor' and `How To Make Money in Stocks' by O'Neil. Both are good books for the beginning investor. However `24 Essential Lessons' is a big disappointment, it is nothing but a plug for O'Neil's newsletter the Investor's Business Daily. '24 Lessons should be given away for free to entice people to use Investor's Business Daily (IBD) instead of sold as a book. There is a plug for IBD on almost every page, often more then five times per page.
Page 38 has IBD plugs 5 times:
Only Investor's Business Daily gives you "Volume Percent Change"........
For example, a stock showing a +356 volume percentage change in Investor's Business Daily stock tables indicates.........
Additionally, Investor's Business Daily provides special screened lists daily which identify stocks with the greatest percentage rise in volume.........
It's impossible for big institutions to buy a stock without it showing up in either Investor's Business Daily "Volume Percent Change" column in the stock tables .....
Investor's Business Daily enables you to easily track the institutional elephants......
Page 39 only has 2 plugs:
Investor's Business Daily has another proprietary gauge that can be very helpful in indemnifying whether a stock being sold is being brought or sold......
All you need to do is get in the habit of checking Investor's Business Daily Mutual fund section.......
Page 40: 2 more plugs
Page 41: 3 plugs.
I can go on and on listing the pages IBD is mentioned on and how often.
The ending of this book is dedicated to the advantages of using Investor's Business Daily. I'm writing this review because the author is taking advantage of people selling this book. He should be ashamed for himself.
