More Models of Great

Stock Market Winners

Throughout this book, I’ve shown you and discussed many of the greatest
winning stocks of the past. Now that you’ve been introduced to the CAN SLIM
system of investing, you should know that we actually suggested some of
these same companies to clients through our institutional services firm or
bought them ourselves.
Regardless of your current position in life or your financial standing,
it’s clearly possible for you to make your dreams come true using the
CAN SLIM system. You may have heard or read about the thousands of indi-
viduals who have changed their lives using this book and Investor’s Business
Daily. It really happens, and it can happen to you if you are determined and
have an overpowering desire, no matter how large or small your account . . .
as long as you make up your mind, work at it, and don’t ever let yourself get
discouraged.
This chapter will introduce you to a few early examples of success using
this system. There are many, many others. In addition, it will also introduce
you to more of the great winning stocks since 1952. Study this chapter
closely; you’ll find these patterns repeat over and over again throughout
time. If you learn to recognize them early, you could get in on some future
big profits, even if it takes some time.
