Do not listen to the negative opinions or reviews. They will not make you a dime. This book will teach a way of thinking to begin to make money in stocks. There are no books that you can buy that I know of that hand you a winning secret that will make you money, and I've read about 150 investment books. This book is your introduction to the world of Bill O'Neil, an investing giant who has made enough of a fortune in the market so that he has no need to A)sell books or
B)sell newspapers to make money as others here have suggested. Those of you that are old enough may understand that in a certain point in your career you want to leave a legacy, and it appears that this is O'Neils motivation. As a successful non-financial professional, I can tell you that you can make much more in the market than you can ever make in any other job, and this is even more true for a trader such as O'Neil, and he has no need to scam anyone as some other posters have suggested.
The book is really a detailed outline of what you need to do to make big money in the market. The theory is really a continuation of previous authors extending back to jesse Livermore. Yes, O'Neil pushes the paper, Investors Business Daily (IBD), but the paper really is essential to your investing success. There is no comparison to the entertaining but useless (for making money trading)Wall Street Journal. IBD is really like having a personal research department -it's that good. You cannot superficially approach the book or the paper and expect to make money. What you are getting is the only available entre that I know of for non-wall street professionals into the world of making money trading stocks. Do not pass the opportunity to begin this journey.
The best stock investing book I've read. April 28, 2008
Its complicated. I'm not going to paint a rosy picture here; it takes time to digest AND understand the powerful concepts that William O'neil has gathered, with arguably years of research. But once you get past the heavy technicalities of understanding stocks, you will sail through them without fear and an edge.

Decent book. Time could be better spent by finding an online article on CANSLIM. Far too much IBD (Investors Business Daily) promotion. If you're planning on subscribing to IBD I suppose with would serve as a good instruction manual with some old examples.
 How to LOSE money in stocks! January 14, 2008
8 out of 17 found this review helpful
The popularity of books like this one explains why so many people lose so much money in the stock market.
The book puts too much emphasis on the most useless techniques of technical analysis. The use of chart patterns that O'neil loves is closer to astrology than finance.
The book talks about fundamentals (earnings, growth, etc), but in a very limited way. Using fundamentals according to O'neils way can easily make you lose your money!
A much better book on growth investing is "The Little Book That Makes You Rich". A good book on technical analysis is "How Technical Analysis Works". I also recommend reading "Evidence Based Technical Analysis" which shows how limitd technical analysis is.
Hey, lazy traders, Stay away from this method! December 12, 2007

It's not likely that the most of the readers of this book will practice CANSLIM paradigm diligently to success. Do you want to know what the reason is? The reason is very simple. Most traders are lazy. They don't want to work too hard in the market. Instead, they want Get-Rich-Quick schemes to instantly satisfy their greed. Thus for that reason, this type of trading style is largely untapped and under-exploited by the majority
of retail traders. However, for the traders who went around Wall Street blocks many times and understand the core value of hard work in trading WILL DEFINITELY BENEFIT from this book. To the ones who doubt my statement, I want to point out the fact that there are indeed long lists of roster which contain the names of the traders who succeeded with many different variations of 'Growth Momentum Stock trading'. Just search on the web. You'll see what I'm talking about.
