Investor's Business Daily and the Making of Millionaires

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.

This is a very interesting book if you subscribe to Investor's Business Daily, or are just a big fan of O'Neil. If you aren't, you probsably will be after reading this book.

Fast paced and very readable. Excellent insight into the financial publishing business in general and IBD, in particular. I would recommend to anyone looking for an overview of the industry. Great 'perspective' book for traders.

The IBD Monday usually is sold out at the bookstores that I frequent across Orange County by at least 2 to 3pm on Saturdays. This book gives an insight on why this occurs. The newspaper provides what the audience demands "great investment material on a daily basis". This book reads like an autobiography providing historical reasons why certain columns exist in IBD.

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
