4 out of 5 starsIdeas found elsewhere, but overall good, 2008-07-03
The book provides 8 clear ways to evaluate if you should buy a stock. These ideas are similar to William O'Neil or other investors, but overall good reminder as to what to look for. You can read this book in an hour. The only issue with this book is that you are basically buying and holding even when the market is down.

Do you want to know what the Author is buying? Go to his web site at www.navellier.com where he manages funds. His model portfolio's are down, some over 20% ! Yes, the issue here like many people that manage funds or model portfolios is that they stay invested even in the worst times.

Indicating what to buy is good as this book outlines, but having people hold on for a gut wrenching ride losing over 20% to wait YEARS to get it back to me is foolishness.

What is missing in this book is an overall market viewpoint to answer the question "Should I be a buyer, selling short, or stay in cash?"

This book does not answer that question. A great book that will and pointed to the down market in 2008 is the classic "Martin Zweig Winning on Wall Street." This book is a real winner and has a similar formula for picking stocks but you will get few results.

I would take Navellier stock picking recommendations then be a buyer based on Zweig's marketing timing model. Why buy big in a down market? If you want a gut wrenching experience go to Cedar Point or 6 Flags.

Very simple to understand and very straightforward. It helps an investor to understand he needs to remain cool, rely on facts and forget about emotions.

4 out of 5 starsNumbers are King, but other factors at play, 2008-05-17
This book provided an excellent overview of successful growth investing; but, while providing broad strokes, the book seems primarily focused on selling further services from Mr. Navellier. I share Mr. Navellier's love of numbers, but I wish there were further information on the exact forumlas used so I could replicate the calculations on my own...unless he is personally screening each of the 5000 stocks each day.

I tried to sign up for the given website and I have trial access, but have yet to receive credentials to sign on as a member--after two attempts and two weeks later. I have received all of the solicitations to purchase investing newletters though--from $200 to over $1000 per year or more.

Mr. Navellier is one of the few investors who beats the S&P 500 according to the Hulbert Report, but what if I invested that $1000 per year instead of purchasing the newsletter? If I invest $1000 for 20 years at a growth of 12% a year, $20,000 becomes $90,000 in a no load index fund--discounting taxes and other fees...I feel free to discount as Mr. Navellier does it in his advertisements.

The positives of the book are as follows:
1. It gets you excited about returns
2. It makes a good case for growth investing.
3. It is well written.
4. Mr. Navellier has demonstrated he is one of the few money managers to consistently beat the S&P 500

The negatives:
1. No exact way to replicate results on your own, you need the "free" website to do that.
2. The constant reminders that Mr. Navellier's newsletters were successful, if only you had purchased one...
