Legendary stock trader William O'Neil once described the stock market as "a maddeningly contrary beast." For him, the greatest traders are those who move with the market and not against it. InHow Legendary Traders Made Millions, award-winning investment author and historian John Boik tells you how O'Neil and other legendary traders rode "the beast" to fortune through booms and busts alike--and how you can too.

Boik profiles eight of the greatest traders of all time, focusing on the historic trades and strategies behind the legends. With the help of exclusiveInvestor's Business Daily charts and data, he explores, decade by decade, how the market behaved over the past century, and how each trader took advantage of distinct market situations. And he gives you the specifics on dozens of important trades, described against the backdrop of the economic, political, and market environments in which each trader's strategy flourished.

• Use historical patters to read today's market cycles
• Predict individual stock performance based on emerging trends
• Spot key pivot points in market tops and bottoms
• Discover the best time to buy individual stocks based on emerging trends
• Know when to sell stocks to lock in profits
