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

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.

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)

One of the best book in stocks!
Pros:

* I know nothing about the stock market until I read this book.
* Very well explain on how to tackle the market during good times or bad.
* Even you know nothing about stock, you can have better understanding on this industry once you have read this book.

Cons:

* This book is good for gaining more knowledge but does not provide any plan or action that we need to take in order to succeed in this business. Overall, it is still ok.

A Goldmine of Stock Investing Ideas!
William O'Neil, who started a successful financial paper known as Investors Business Daily, wrote How to Make Money in Stocks. Decade of research, critical thinking and common sense has helped O'Neil to create some very powerful ways of investing successfully.

This book isn't about getting rich quick. It takes time, study diligence and patience coupled with controlling ones emotions to become an excellent investor.

I have read many books, magazines and articles on investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and more over the years. O'Neil's ideas are some of the most solid and consistent I have found to apply to the stock market.

In the book he teaches his CAN SLIM method of investing. Looking at these indicators are powerful ways to find the right stocks. CAN SLIM stands for:

C = Current Quarterly Earnings per share: The Higher the Better
A = Annual Earnings Increases: Look for Growth
N = New Products, New Management, New Highs
S = Supply and Demand
L = Leader or Laggard
I = Institutional Sponsorship
M = Market Direction

There are other great ideas in the book such as: Nineteen Common Mistakes Most Investors Make, How to Cut Your Losses, When to Sell and Take Your Profit and much more. How to Make Money in Stocks is a gold mine of ideas!
