You've still got to go down a lot of wrong paths. The book gets more authoritative and better the longer you stay in investing. I've had people tell me O'Neil is old hat, he's yesterday's hero, he's gone by the wayside now in today's fast paced world, his methods are antiquated, etc., etc., etc. Well, let me just tell you what experience has taught me. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Nothing compares to it and nothing does what it does.
IT IS the investors newspaper. Yes, there are other methods that work. But let me tell you this - If you are look for the softer, easier way then you are in for some tough knocks. This is NOT going to be much fun for you. AND, most likely, you and your money are going to be soon parted.
