Product Description
Bill O'Neil is a legend to individual investors everywhere. The Wall Street maverick founded Investor's Business Daily, which created a new generation of investor by providing carefully researched investment rules for targeting emerging growth, buying at the right time, and applying sell rules that ensure the greatest profit. Two decades later, IBD is a runaway success, and O'Neil continues to regularly beat the market at its own game.

Investor's Business Daily and the Making of Millionaires is a behind-the-scenes look at O'Neil and the growth of IBD. It describes how investors can use the paper's rich stock market data and focus on growing companies to amass huge stock market gains as it details:

  • O'Neil's legendary CANSLIM stock-picking system
  • Where the next opportunities could be coming from
  • How anyone can take on the leaders and win


  • From the Inside Flap
    The man who beat the market at its own game--and taught the average American investor rules for success.

    William O'Neil and his national newspaper Investor's Business Daily have become Wall Street legends. Twenty years ago, this revolutionary maverick launched his new financial paper with the goal of providing independent-thinking investors and entrepreneurs with the same detailed information previously available only to the investment pros. Not only did O'Neil and IBD survive and thrive, but their accessible investment lessons and market-savvy insight made many people millionaires. This is the fascinating true story of how one man beat the odds and changed the way America plays the stock market. And it is an inspiration to all individual investors who want to learn the smartest way to manage their finances, grow their businesses, and increase the value of their investments.

    In November 1983, O'Neil laid out his plans to start a brand-new national paper, Investor's Daily (its original name until Sept. 16, 1991). Unlike the Wall Street Journal, the industry's heavyweight champ for the past century, IBD would give daily ratings for every stock to measure profit growth and stock-price strength. For the first time, investors would be able to compare stocks against other stocks. The paper would also print charts of the major indexes so readers could study the market's overall price trend. It would run about 100 small weekly charts daily to ensure that no great stock would be ignored. IBD would feature new growing companies in detail and update a table of nearly 200 industry groups ranked by six-month performance. In short, IBD wouldn't be like any other financial publication.

    Achieving profitability wasn't IBD's only goal. Teaching readers to understand how the stock market really works would help them protect their interests even during severe market downswings. When the U.S. stock market lost an estimated $7 trillion in shareholder wealth during the 2000---2002 bear market, those who followed IBD's advice were able to cash out and save the majority of their portfolios. By providing a daily education on sound stock investing based on 50 years of fact-based stock market research, IBD has become a unique tool and information source that helps investors build wealth through buying, holding, and eventually selling the best growth stocks in the market. Along the way, the paper has debunked many of the myths on investing by highlighting the most relevant data for finding the big winners. This is O'Neil's legacy--a wealth of insight that will change the way you invest and succeed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars If your a fan of the paper, you'll enjoy its company history, October 20, 2004
    I bought this book as an opportunity to learn more about my new subscription to Investors Business Daily (IBD) what I got instead was a look at the evolution of the company and not the making of millionaires as the title suggests. If you are looking for a book that takes past examples of IBD millions you will be disappointed to only find 2 stories in here. If you are looking to learn more about the rise of IBD and its business competition with the Wall Street Journal, you will enjoy this. There are many excerpts from previous print editions and the book leaves you with an understanding of what IBD is trying to bring to their readers. Finally there is an epilogue that speaks to the five steps of investing with IBD using the analogy of an Olympic event, stressing practice, hard work and a positive attitude

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not particularly helpful., December 14, 2005
    By Michael S. Godsey "Snappy" (Bella Vista, AR USA) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    It's an OK book and if I'd read the title a little closer I probably wouldn't have purchased it. Basically the book details how IBD became a viable business by teaching different (and better) investing rules and helping average people locate potentially above average stocks. However, if you are interested in the hows and whys of stock picking get a subscription to IBD (I like the online PDF version myself) the information that comes with being a subscriber is far more detailed than what is in this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great cheerleading, April 14, 2009
    If you subscribe to IBD and would like to read some about the origin of the paper as well as cheerleading you to follow the CANSLIM system, then this is the book. You can get the same excitment from reading the readers success stories at the back of the book How to Make Money in Stocks.
