Breakouts on growth stocks. Now you don't have to read it.

 

It is a great story. More of a recreational read. I did take away a few things from it though, so yeah I would say go for it.

Go to the library and test it out. -

 

Yes, absolutely. Two major lessons I learnt are:

1. People talk a lot about letting the winners run and cutting losses short. He showed how he did it.

2. Price tells all the story, there is no need for news.

It is a quick read and I think it is worth reading at least once.

 

I agree. Good book. Great foundation. Easy and enjoyable read. Shows that "anyone" can do it as long as they use their balls AND brain (common sense wise).

I picked it up one day when I was bored and found it worth my while.

I think you will too.

 

one of the 3 books i think are essential for people to start out reading is darvas'. the others are reminiscences and o'neil's how to make money in stocks.

a must-read. and easy to read as well.

 

Thanx for replying everyone.

I think 'The Secret of Selecting Stocks for Immediate & Substantial Gains - Larry Williams' is also a must read.

I feel it should be the 1st book any beginner should pick.
