Answer 3

Hi,

O'Neil makes a valiant effort to isolate the factors that indicate

a given stock is (almost) always going to go up in price.

Logically, it should work. It will certainly seem quite reasonable

to you.

The problem is, reality is not so neat and rational, and a well-run

company today is tomorrow's lousy company.

This is not predictable. That's the problem with real life.

Remember also that most of the price move of any individual company

is due to the overall market, not due to the company's particular

details.

I suggest that you also read FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, to remind you that real markets are not predictable.

best, Rick Stooker

Answer 4

There is no such thing as a winning system. If there was professwionals  would use it and nullify it. By all means buy and read the book but don't take too seriously.

Answer 5

Its a decent book, many books on investing.  Try something about how Warren Buffet invests.
