In 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success, the founder of Investor's Business Daily and author of How to Make Money in Stocks, William O'Neil, 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 analysis to understanding the price actions of those stocks. The lessons cover everything from protecting your investment account (always cut your losses at 8 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. While not absolutely necessary, it helps to have a copy of Investor's Business Daily handy: these lessons were drawn from a series that O'Neil wrote, which frequently mention features unique to that newspaper. 24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success is a easy-to-read, commonsense guide to stock picking that both novices and seasoned investors should find extremely useful. --Harry C. Edwards

This is a short and easy-to-read book that provides individual investors with essential lessons to find investment success. The author says that the most important lesson that investors should follow is to cut investment losses after an 8% decline.
Unlike other investment books that either preach following fundamental or technical analysis, this book recommends using both before making purchasing and selling decisions. Fundamental analysis tells investors about the quality of the companies ... Read More

This is a little frustrating. Basically the concepts are interesting, logical, and accessible, but there is insufficient space given to explaining, in more than an outline, just "why" the concepts are relevant, and, more important, exactly how to apply them. Of course, Mr. O'Neill has a business going, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to serve up everything at once.

I read `The Successful Investor' and `How To Make Money in Stocks' by O'Neil. Both are good books for the beginning investor. However `24 Essential Lessons' is a big disappointment, it is nothing but a plug for O'Neil's newsletter the Investor's Business Daily. '24 Lessons should be given away for free to entice people to use Investor's Business Daily (IBD) instead of sold as a book. There is a plug for IBD on almost every page, often more then five times per page.
Page 38 has IBD plugs ... Read More

Just finished "24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success" by Bill O'Neil, who happens to be the publisher of Investor's Business Daily. Consequently, the book is more or less an extended commercial for the paper -it is an investor's guide, but an investor's guide as applied to using Investor's Business Daily.
However, there's a good balance of information here. If you can steer past the obvious bias, he has some good tips I'd like to try out some day. He presents a formulaic approach for success ... Read More
