Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Why do so many traders and investors fail, while some—like Gil Morales and Chris Kacher—consistently generate enormous returns? Bill O’Neil himself notes, “Human nature being what it is, 90% of people in the stock market—professionals and amateurs alike—simply haven’t done sufficient homework.” Trade Like an O’Neil Disciple: How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market serves as your essential study guide. Investing always comes with a personal test, and this book prepares you for it.
Through years of careful observation and disciplined application of practical rules, the book highlights the subtle realities of stock trading, such as:
-
The significance of maintaining a 6–7% automatic stop-loss for stock purchases
-
Holding positions and being patient, or “taking profits gradually”
-
The role of psychological capital, and how mastering your mindset strengthens your trading approach
-
Focused position sizing, demonstrating that broad diversification—or “kissing all the babies”—is often unnecessary
-
How market timing can be both achievable and critical, despite what skeptics may claim
-
Common errors of beginners or inattentive investors, such as averaging down or only buying inexpensive stocks
-
How O’Neil used historical data and box theory to define consolidation patterns (“bases”), including ascending, cup-with-handle, double-bottom, square box, flat base, and high, tight flag formations
-
Leveraging early entry points via “pocket pivots” to gain an edge in challenging markets
-
Buying gap-ups to capitalize on strong-performing stocks
-
Advanced O’Neil-style short-selling strategies
It took O’Neil years to refine, test, and validate his system for identifying winning stocks. Morales and Kacher condense this knowledge into one comprehensive resource, saving you both time and, for investors, money—enabling you to trade confidently like a true O’Neil disciple.
