Amazon.co.uk Review
From the school of unemotional investing comes the classic How to Make Money in Stocks, by Wall Street analyst and publisher William O'Neil. Readers new to securities will find it an excellent primer, one that relies on time-honoured indicators such as quarterly earnings, market capitalization and daily indexes. O'Neil's study of winning stocks stretches back to the 1960s and he shares his insights here, describing what characterizes a growth stock, when to cut your losses (at seven or eight percent, no more) and how to spot a market top.The techniques in How to Make Money in Stocks are hardly revolutionary but therein lies their strength, as O'Neil claims his is "a winning system in good times or bad." Investors interested in Net stocks might be disappointed--the author's first rule is that a company must show a pattern of growing profits, which disqualifies many dot coms. O'Neil's approach to stocks is, above all, rational and he pays little heed to market hype. Those new to investing would do well to read this book before embarking, and even more seasoned traders may find How to Make Money in Stocks a refreshing return to basics. Markets may swing bull and bear but O'Neil promises to stand firm. --Demian McLean, Amazon.com

 Excellent, highly rated! February 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm new to investments and purchased this due to the previous glowing reviews. I was not disappointed; the book is well written and most importantly, very practical. It tells you exactly what to look for when purchasing stocks, when to sell, how to read the market and a whole lot more. It does push the IBD website and paper fairly heavily, but in fairness I think it would be difficult and very time consuming to pick CANSLIM stocks manually without the use of a website like IBD. There are thousands of stocks out there... do you want to narrow them down yourself, or let someone else do the hard work?
 Good Price and volume studies January 31, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Most books talk about price only, Mr O'Neil has added to our knowledge by introducing volume studies to his cup and handle price charts! This gives the short term trader a much braoder view of the market and stocks. Using a pivot point for entry on good volume has always been a high probability trade. What ever method you use to trade stocks learn it well, use it often. This book used in conjunction with IBD website can make as well as save you money. Highly recommended.
The Best Stock Investing Book for the Average Investor May 30, 2004
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Mr. O'Neil has written a modern classic, one that will be read for decades to come. During a period of market mania or depression, his practical advice will steer you toward timeless principles of successful investing. I found the book to be clear and accurate, a combination that seldom occurs in investing books. I have reread this book several times, and have learned much from each rereading. One of the book's strengths is to help you understand how much to pay for a rapidly-growing stock. Momentum stock investors: Be sure to read this book.
The benefits of this book are enhanced by also reading Investors Business Daily.
Surprisingly good book. October 6, 2002
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
I was a little sceptical about this book before I bought it. The large tabloid style typeface on the front cover and the name itself reminded me of some sort of 'get rich quick' scheme.
I couldn't have been more wrong. CAN SLIM is an ultra conservative system based on fundamental trading. You're taught to cut the guesswork out of your stock picking and really understand about why shares go up and down. I particularly liked the sections on minimising your losses. Following the books rules you will never get wiped out and will always survive to trade another day.
I learned an awful lot from this book and I can recommend it to beginners and more advanced traders alike. Great stuff.
A clear method for a bear market. March 3, 2001
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
Initially I borrowed this book from the library but after recommending it to friends and my investment club I must buy it to keep for ever. I have read dozens of books searching for each author's method but never came across one with such a clear and simple method as CAN SLIM. Now I scan the charts for those at an all time high instead of bottom fishing. I absolutely love this book and am happy to recommend it to everyone, although his method might seem contrary, it is the only one for a bear market - you'll find that not all the prices are going down!
