Jason Winklers book club evaluation |
| "Praise for 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success," explains what every investor should know going into the stock market. O'Neil does a great job of explicating that when it comes to getting started, there's no time like the present. Passages on fundamental and technical analysis elaborate on how you are to use the stock market to your benefit. I think he has radiant ideas pertaining to ways of picking big winners in the stock market. Such as, most all of the brokers encourage you to buy low and sell high. O' Neil on the other hand takes a different approach in figuring to buy high and sell higher. The madness behind that theory is that you buy the best performers in the market which will be priced high. He creates a splendid scenario of his thesis for you. When you go purchase a car do you want a good car or a bad one? The obvious answer is a good one. Well in stocks it's the same way. It's worth the price to buy a good stock and as for the cheap stocks, there's a reason why there cheap. The best advice he gave was to cut your loses by selling your worst performing stocks rather then holding on to them for a possible comeback. I think this book is a great source and easy to understand. If you like making money you should pick up a copy. I give "24 essential Lessons for Investment Success" five stars. |

Excellent book for the "serious novice" |
| I thought it was a great book for someone like me who knew ablsolutely NOTHING about investing in the stock market. I found it while browsing in a book store. Although I bought several books on investing that day, this one is my favorite primarily because of it's readability. One of my favortite features is the bulleted summary at the end of each chapter. Now, I have a basic understanding about how to pick stocks which was exaclty what I was looking for. Although the book discusses fundamental and technical analysis of stocks, I did not find it overly technical. The day after I completed the book, I went to my local library to take a look at IBD and 'lo and behold' it wasn't Greek to me. "24 Lessons" has opened my eyes to the world of trading stocks which to me was an invaluable lesson. True, it's not a comprehensive book about the stock market, but no single book can be. I viewed it simply as a place to start. Halfway through the book I had already trained myself not to be irritated by the excessive advertising for IBD because I liked what I was learning. Bottom line? I guess the value of the book is not what it costs, but how we individually can relate to the information presented. But just to put it in perspective, last month my husband went to a "FREE Seminar" [not by William O'Neil or IBD]on investing in stocks. What did he get?--a REAL sales pitch for "trading" software that cost (get this) only $3,995.00! That's what I would call shameless advertising. |
