User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars People should really sober up about this book
I must admit that many of the things that author writes sound very convincing and practical. But people really need to sober up as I mentioned above. (I am not one of those sore losers in the market just to clarify)

As you get more experience, read more books, and become more mature you really start realizing how much of a hype this book really is. In some sense I would call this a borderline scam. And once you sign up for Investor’s Business Daily the sales people will not leave you alone. They will be all over you like freaking flies. Then again, don’t think I am for Wall Street Journal, Barrons, or Fortunes either. They are all garbages and do not provide useful insight.

People already realize that market is rigged. If they know it is rigged, and these products don’t help them, then they should stop buying this kind of product. There are way too many useless products out there already.

Read books by Richard Ferri, John Bogle, or Edward Griffin.

3 Stars CAN SLIM - same as most diets
The techniques suggested in the book are theoretically sound but like all security recommendations, once they are put into practice you realize that they are among the biggest frauds perpetrated on the American public.

4 Stars Great reading.
Great book, full of information. Well studied strategies. Easy to understand - although a couple sections make take two readings.

4 Stars Classic
A must have investment book but this method requires a lot of close monitoring of the market which most of us can’t do as non-professional investors.

5 Stars What this book is about
Some reviews think this book is about

* using technical analysis to buy and sell stocks in general, it is not, it is about buying the best of breed (in the very best industry groups) when the time is right and only this point is determined by looking at the chart, once this is passed in strong volume, chances are good that prices will move higher. (VOLUME is one of the classic indicators, see Livermore, Darvas etc)

* it is pushing IBD too hard, I agree on that, and I would give it 4.5 points if it were possible because of that, but IBD and esp. dailygraphs.com is simply saving you hours every day.

* think there are still too many good stocks around even in IBD and they don’t say buy or sell this stock now. I remember having read Livermore’s thoughts via the “make an easy buck in the stock market” crowd, “how easy is it to make a quick buck with brain surgery?” It takes a lot of work everyday to check the potential stocks.

* not all chart patterns are 100% up to the rules, this is correct but one would also check the daily charts and this might explain a bit.

Overall the book contains top advice based on old truths.

Another book that has lots of charts and explains the stages/cycles of stocks is Weinsteins “Secret for profiting…” Weinstein has good suggestions for longterm stop movement, while Weinstein is not interested in the quality of the company, it is worthwhile to read it because of the stock stages.(as mentioned in O`Neils book on when to sell, the quality of the stock -e.g. stellar growth outlook- is not important only price/volume action - a hint for DISTRIBUTION, in the stock market the future is now)

5 Stars Buy this book!
They say hindsight is 20/20, but by reading this book your foresight will be too. There is no hype here, just straight common sense from a guy who’s already where you want to be.

Are you planning on living on less money in retirement? Do you really want to? Stan tells you that’s not realistic and why. And what to expect about taxes, and health insurance.. Take it from someone who’s already there. This book will help you ensure a comfortable and happy retirement.

3 Stars Basic Overview for Beginners
For a financial writer with a major newspaper, this author was surprisingly uninformed about his retirement planning. He points out the mistakes he made, primarily from being uninformed about social security, his 401-k investment options, and how much money he might need in retirement. He then goes on to tell what he would have done differently HAD HE REALIZED the implications of his inaction while young. He realized too late that a little planning during his career would have made a big difference to him in retirement. While well written, this book is pretty basic. It is a good primer for someone thinking of their retirement options. This is an easy, enjoyable read; I finished it in two evenings.

5 Stars Better late then never
Well written and easy to read. The book fills in the gaps leading to retirement and allows one to make up for lost time in looking at things that need to be considered for retirement.
