the workshop is to help investors buy stocks with great fundamentals com-
ing out of a sound base pattern. We teach investors to buy on strength with
a stock that has already proven itself. We help investors learn a fact based
system founded on decades of research gleaned from studies of the best
performing stocks from the 1880s to the present day.
Justin: The Level 2 workshop which I teach with Scott O’Neil shows
investors how to spot market tops and bottoms, how to read charts more
accurately and profitably, and screening techniques to identify emerging
winners.
Jonathan: The Level 3 workshop was designed to teach investors what to
do between the initial buy and the final sell. We teach advanced holding
and selling strategies, the intricacies of portfolio management, and the
importance of post analysis. Finally, the speakers will put all the pieces
together in a unique trading simulation, applying the CAN SLIM System
in a real-market environment.

Ralph: And the Masters Program or the Level 4 features Bill O’Neil, IBD’s
founder, and includes sessions with O’Neil Data Systems portfolio man-
agers. We bring together the best financial minds to provide two days of
intense, comprehensive training that can turn attendees into successful
investors for the rest of their lives.
Justin: In addition to those workshops, we have three other workshops that
are subject-specific such as Chart School, Marketschool, and the Model
Stock Summit.

Jonathan: All of the workshops are designed to help investors reach a
higher level of investing. However, we realized that some people, due to
job commitments or travel considerations, can’t attend some of the work-
shops, so many of these great learning moments are available in the
Home Study Courses.
Ralph: We started this series of workshops in 2004 and have been able to
help countless investors who have taken the courses.

Amy: Why do you think so many people have had success after attending
these workshops?

Justin: The vast majority of the investing public doesn’t follow an investing
system. They purchase stocks solely based on gut feelings or poor advice
