About this title

Review:

In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success William O'Neil, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks, 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 evaluation to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account (always cut your losses at eight 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. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is an easy-to-read, common-sense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C.
