<< After reading your un-informed ideas of investing, let me suggest ... O'Niel's book >>

Funny you should mention that one, partner. O'Neil has as one of his main strategies that earnings growth is key.

He looked historically at 40 years of stocks, isolating the ones that made the best gains. He then looked at what conditions were present just as the stocks were starting their amazing runs.

"In our models of the 500 best performing stocks in the 40 years from 1953 to 1993, three out of four of these securities showed earnings increases averaging more that 70% in the latest quarter before the stocks began their major price advance. The one of four that didn't show solid current quarter increases did so in the very next quarter...."

My un-informed ideas about investing? I have pretty much been echoing O'Neil's main strategy in my posts. I could have been quoting him, practically. Then you come along, say I am un-informed and suggest I might get some good knowledge by reading O'Neil? You are obviously not even aware of what he has to say. Incredible!

Just incredible.

Before he reads O'Neal's book, he needs to read Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People".
