With five straightforward rules that would have saved any investor from Bernie Madoff, investment firm CEO and Forbes columnist Fisher (100 Minds That Made the Market) gives readers a secure plan for fraud-proof investing, worthwhile for novices and sophisticated financiers alike.

You might still believe that you can win big in stocks, and there are very few financial advisors that are going to tell you otherwise. Have you been listening to them? In fact all of them will tell you to put all of your money in stocks and mutual funds-of course they will recommend this; they are making a commission gambling with your money-money you can't afford to lose.

Wall Street is just like any other industry spending millions on psychologists, focus groups, and behavioral specialists to discover how they can sell their products and services to you. The big difference is what they're selling. It's not like they are trying to sell the latest bottled water, a new car, or a teeth whitener. Instead, they are selling a fantasy disguised as an investment.

This is a how-to book on making money in the stock market, whether the market is going up or falling or holding steady.

O'Neil has used his stock market savvy to underwrite this ambitious effort. In How to Make Money in Stocks, O'Neil shows the reader when to buy and when to sell under a variety of market conditions.

He provides the formula for his own success (based on an extensive study of the most successful stocks from 1953 to 1990) and translates it into practical advice for anyone interested in investing. He takes a broad view of investments. In addition to stocks, this book contains valuable tips on mortgages, retirement funds, savings accounts, real estate, IRAs, and mutual funds. O'Neil is down to earth and easy to read, so that novices as well as professionals will benefit from what he has to say. All in all, this book should have wide appeal among investors at all levels of sophistication. The beginner will learn how; the veteran will gain access to the secrets and strategies of one of their most successful colleagues.

The techniques in this book have been the key to success for the experts who present them, and they can become just as valuable to any market professional who learns them.
