that other lives may be transformed by what he has learned from over 50
years in the market.
The kind and sincere part of Bill O’Neil is that he is a great teacher at
heart, and he knows that other people can transform their lives because he
himself has done so.
Through Bill’s generosity, combined with his tireless work ethic, he has
influenced thousands of professional and individual investors through his
teaching.
Of all the legendary traders, Bernard Baruch, Jesse Livermore, Nicolas
Darvas, Gerald Loeb and others, it is my personal opinion that Bill O’Neil’s
discovery and creation of the CAN SLIM Investing System will be talked
about for decades to come, and will have more influence on those that want
to learn about the market than any other trader in history.

The Legendary Trader
To become the very best trader you can be, imagine that Bill O’Neil is stand-
ing behind you, looking over your shoulder, and ask yourself: Would you
execute the trade you’re about to make? Would you sell? Why?

Did You Follow the System?
“Do or do not. There is no try.”

To become the very best trader you can be and achieve the highest returns
possible, stick to the time tested CAN SLIM Investing System. These are
not Bill’s opinions but how the market and leading stocks have actually
worked, with research going back to 1880.
If Bill’s portfolio managers stray from the CAN SLIM rules, he will call
them on it. Imagine he is doing the same for you. Reading IBD daily will
help reinforce these investing principles and familiarize you with parts of
the paper that identify top CAN SLIM stocks that are performing well in
the current market.

Be Flexible
