Good if you'd like a quick read.......2004-01-22

This book is a quick read. It glosses over concepts that are covered in greater detail in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. If you are looking for the fast read, this is your book. If you are serious about improving work relationships, I'd have to recommend Carnegie's book instead.

Gilbert's communication miracles: Is it helpful or not?.......2003-10-19

I found this book to be quite interesting. I liked and disliked this book at the same time. I enjoyed this book because it gave me some insight on situations that could occur at work that I never thought could cause communication problems. It made me realize how many miscommunications could occur at work, other than with the normal miscommunication with a coworker or manager.
Gilbert describes the various communicaton problems that occur not only with a coworker or boss but as well as with coworkers of the opposite sex and with customers. Gilbert also went into detail about how miscommunications can be caused by being the opposite sex from a fellow coworker, employees that feel that their manager or boss is with holding important information from them or by managers or boss's showing favortism to certain employees.
Miscommunication can also be caused by a long term problem that has not been resolved among two coworkers, employees who feel that tehy are superior to other employees and managers who speak down to their employees. All of Gilbert's examples made me realize that even though I have never encountered such communication problems with coworkers, but also to keep my eyes open about future miscomminications which may occur sometime throughout my working experience.
Although I really enjoyed this book and found it to be helpful, I also found some qualities about the book that I particulary did not care for. Before buying this book, I read the quick summary of the book. I felt that the book was a little different form what was written in the summary.
I was expecting there to be more examples related to the situation that Gilbert had discussed. I persomally feel that if Gilbert gave more examples, it would be more helpful when you find yourself in a similar situation. I was expecting the book to give actual ways to handle situations. Like how to confront a coworker. I guess I was expecting a little too much from this book. Overall, I found it to be helpful and interesting and I really enjoyed reading it.

Not a good book unless you also have Chriss's book of the same title - too many references to it. Software is interesting.

From the school of unemotional investing comes the classic How to Make Money in Stocks, by Wall Street analyst and publisher William O'Neil. Readers new to securities will find it an excellent primer, one that relies on time-honored indicators such as quarterly earnings, market capitalization, and daily indexes. O'Neil's study of winning stocks stretches back to the 1960s, and he shares his insights here, describing what characterizes a growth stock, when to cut your losses (at 7 or 8 percent, no more), and how to spot a market top.

The techniques in How to Make Money in Stocks are hardly revolutionary, but therein lies their strength, as O'Neil claims his is "a winning system in good times or bad." Investors interested in Net stocks might be disappointed--the author's first rule is that a company must show a pattern of growing profits, which disqualifies many dot coms. (Try Rule Breakers, Rule Makers for a different take.) O'Neil's approach to stocks is, above all, rational, and he pays little heed to market hype.

Those new to investing would do well to read this book before embarking, and even more seasoned traders may find How to Make Money in Stocks a refreshing return to basics. Markets may swing bull and bear, but O'Neil promises to stand firm. --Demian McLean

Book Description

THE BUSINESSWEEK, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER!

The bestselling guide to buying stocks, from the founder of Investor's Business Dailynow completely revised and updated

When it was first published, How to Make Money in Stocks hit the investing world like a jolt, providing readers with the first in-depth explanation of William J. O'Neil's innovative CAN SLIM investing method. Five years later, O'Neil, founder for the industry icon Investor's Business Daily, revised his classic text and provided readers with a newer glimpse on how the average investor can make money in the equities market.

Fresh stock charts featured in two colors for easier analysis of trends
And an invaluable guide on how to maximize both Investor's Business Daily and www.investors.com to find winning stocks

Championship Stock Trading Methods Revealed.......2007-10-17

I'll heard about this book years ago, but dismissed it because of it's title. But, I learned that someone named David Ryan won three investing championships with real money using the methods revealed in this book. And I wanted to start trading in the stock market again, but this time I wanted to learn a method that will help me be successful for a change.

I think that if you are new to investing in the stock market and would like to learn a good way to get started, then this book "How To Make Money In Stocks," by William O'Neil is a good guide.

You will learn all about the CANSLIM rules for selecting stocks that are about to make the big price moves. Also included is advice on buying only when a stock is making new highs or breaking out on big volume and cutting your loses short to protect your funds if you're wrong.

It shows you the five basic chart patterns that you should look for in a stock that is about to take off. And these patterns will help you buy at the right price.

The last few chapters are devoted to the features of Investor's Business Daily, which will help you find and track stocks that match the characteristics of the CANSLIM method.

I actually order this book at a local Borders -- paying full price -- because I didn't want to wait for the mail. I was in a hurry to learn how to use Investors.com -- one of the websites of Investors' Business Daily which I have subscribed too.

Interesting but not great.......2007-09-13

I'm new to investing but have read 7 books in the last couple of months on investing and financial statement analysis. These other books (the intelligent investor etc.) are more focused on value investing and tend to dissuade from considering stocks at all time highs. So it was interesting to read a different approach and this book would certainly make me consider looking at more growth stocks. It was also good to get some basics on chart interpretation which I think will prove useful. The downside is that the book (like all his books from looking at other reviews) focuses too much on IBD his website/newspaper, also the explanations for interpreting the charts was not really thorough enough, also a lot of the charts that he advised not to buy on did not look all that dissimilar in places to charts that he advised were good buys - its easy to go back in hindsight on the ones that didn't take off in price and pick holes into why they didn't.
Also his guide to selling at 7% to 8% below your buy price seems a bit extreme - maybe this is just for high risk growth stock buys but in general given the nature of the market most stock fluctuate far more and could be down 8% over a week to recover to the same of higher level the following week. If you sold every time as he suggests you'd constantly be selling and trying to find new stocks to buy.
He seemingly derides the value investing concept which is odd as some of the best investors of all time followed this approach - Buffett & Graham and their disciples being the obvious ones. Overall an interesting read for a different perspective and introduction to chart interpretation.

Study This Book.......2007-09-08

This book is very easy and most interesting to read. The author, Wm. O'Neil is the founder of Investor Business Daily newspaper, which I have always considered the best financial newspaper.
If you are willing to "study" and learn rather than just read this book, You will make money in stocks.
I use this book and Jim Cramer's 'Real money' and 'Mad Money' books daily (almost like text books) to study, learn and apply what I learn.

Hybrid Investing 101.......2007-07-27

An excellent book on how to use both fundamental and technical analysis together to produce big profits. William J O neal is a great author.

Wish I read this 10 years ago.......2007-06-08

Great book. Sound concepts that work. Yes, I subscribe to the paper (IBD) and use his rules. I'm up over 30% in a solid bull market over the last 4 months without being fully invested. When the market pulls back, my stocks also pull back, but when the market is up, my stocks tend to go up hard.

I find that I do better when I pyramid up after a bounce off the 50-day rather than every 2% or round number like promoted by Darvas. It's a good book worth underlining and scribbling all over the margins.

Book Description

"The sand beach that stretches nearly a mile beyond the [Kalaupapa] wharf was always laid smooth by the tide. Hansen's disease plays havoc with feet, ulcerating them, crippling them. Such feet walk poorly. And in sand they cannot walk at all..."

When Henry Nalaielua was diagnosed with Hansen's disease in 1936 and taken from his home and family, he began a journey of exile that led him to Kalaupapa--the remote settlement with the tragic history on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i. This is Henry's story--an unforgettable memoir of the boy who grew to build a full and joyous life at Kalaupapa, and still calls it home today. No Footprints in the Sand is one of only a few memoirs ever shared with the public by a Kalaupapa patient. Its intimacy and candor make it, in the words of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin, "a rare and precious human document." Nalaielua's story is an inspiring one; despite exile, physical challenges and the severing of family ties, he has faced life -- as an artist, musician and historian -- with courage, honesty, hope and humor.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful, rare story. Illuminating.......2007-05-18

Aloha kakou,
Outstanding collaborative effort by two very important Native Hawaiian voices. This wonderful portrait details a man`s life spent well--dealing with the challenges and trials of surviving Hansen`s disease in Kalaupapa, Moloka`i. Not an in depth about Hansen`s or Kalaupapa, this is Henry`s story, his life, loves, talents and legacy. Henry tells his story, through Sally-Jo`s sensitive handling, with the self effacing, off hand manner of a true local Bruddah. Typical of Hawaiians of his generation, he can do a handful of difficult things really well. This celebration of a life lived with purpose also shows what can result from a life lived purposefully with Aloha. I strongly recommend this book.

Hope and courage in adversity.......2007-04-22

Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (3/07)

This is an amazing story. It is Henry's story. Henry Nalielua, diagnosed with Hansen's disease at the age of ten, was branded leprous. "No Footprints in the Sand" is an important memoir. It tells of the journey that took Henry from a sugar plantation community on the Island of Hawaii to Kalaupapa, a remote settlement on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.

Nalaielua's story is inspiring. Even in exile, with lifelong medical and physical challenges and isolation from his family, he faced life with hope, perseverance, courage, and humor. Henry learned to draw and paint. He became an artist. Henry loved music and mastered the ukulele and upright bass. He became a musician. Henry's mind was sharp. He was determined and quick-to-learn. He became an historian. Henry has also served on numerous public agency advisory boards. When the facility at Kalaupapa was named a National Historic Park, Henry became a guide for park visitors. He still resides at Kalaupapa

Co-author Sally-Jo Bowman worked determinedly over a period of years to help bring Henry's story to publication. She first met Henry in 1995, when he helped her with on-site research at Kaluapapa for several magazine articles about the Hansen's disease colony.

Henry's story is unforgettable. It is told with intimacy and openness. "No Footprints in the Sand" is a heartwarming memoir that will inspire anyone facing adversity, long term illness, or needing encouragement. This was a very positive reading experience.

It stirred emotions in the same way as Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist".......2007-02-08

In his powerful first book, "Uncle Henry" Nalaielua tells a story that has rarely been told, of a dark moment of Hawai'i's history; not from the distant viewpoint of the historian, but from the first-person testimony of its survivor.

With honesty, humor and vivid detail, Henry's courageous tale touched my soul, so profoundly, that I kept wanting to know more. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting, wishing that it wouldn't end. It stirred emotions in the same way as Paulo Coelho's, "The Alchemist," in its message of following one's dream, despite all obstacles. (Except, this is no fable; it is a real life piece.)

Along with his brilliant co-author, Sally-Jo Bowman, he weaves an intimate story of strength and perserverence, which will surely be known for decades to come as one of the islands' finest mo`olelo.

This is a must read for everyone and makes for a wonderful gift. It will touch you in surprising ways, and make you want to meet this incredible man and the spiritual place that he would finally call, "home."

Henry, a rascal, can-do kanaka (Hawaiian man).......2007-01-19

I've now given away so many copies of No Footprints that I should have bought a dozen or twenty at wholesale. Henry's is an amazing story of a kolohe kanaka - naughty Hawaiian - who had the misfortune to contract a dreaded disease in 1936. Sally-Jo Bowman's input makes it a fascinating read. Sounds just like Henry sat down and wrote it all by himself, but we know it doesn't work that way. I chuckled at Henry's can-do attitude. Man after my own heart. I'm glad the book includes all his Casanova events. What a guy, a real renaissance kanaka kane - Hawaiian man. Great title!

A powerful reading experience.......2007-01-19

Henry's authentic Hawaiian sensibility and voice walked all the way through his memoir into my heart. This book is the footprint denied him by Hansen's disease and the sands of Kalaupapa. The history was previously unknown to me, so I was shocked at times and outraged on his behalf, but I always trusted his courage, humor, and rebellious resourcefulness. I couldn't wait to see which way Henry would spin in order to stick the next landing. He's a man I'm proud to have met, if only in print. A bit of Henry goes with me now to see how many ways I, too, can accept or face down obstacles.

What a beautiful and motivational look at the life of the author of the immortal poem, "Footprints in the Sand". Mary Stevenson is a true survivor who never loses her ability to look at the world and it's people in the most optimistic light. Her faith never waivers, despite the obstacles and tragedies she endures from childhood on. Ms. Giorgio (the author) obviously took great pains to learn and relate the true story of the woman behind one of the greatest poems of all time. I highly recommend it to everyone - makes a wonderful gift too!

An important contribution to the literature about Meher Baba.......1998-02-28

The story starts in 1969 when, at the age of 44, Bill Stephens went
through a near-death experience that changed him instantaneously
from an agnostic to a spiritual seeker, erased his lifelong fear of death
and eradicated his crippling addictions. He "...exploded into a brilliance
beyond anything I could imagine, and I was immersed in the warmth
and joy of a Living Presence that loved me and accepted me totally."

During the experience, Stephens saw a face in the light that he later
identified as the great 20th century spiritual master, Avatar Meher Baba.
That was the beginning of the author's love affair with God. His
compelling book includes many personal and graphic stories
of the ups and downs of treading the Path of Love by following
the divine footsteps of the Master.

The author has written many previous books about science and the
oceans, marine animals, and undersea research. But this
is his finest work because it comes straight from the heart.

Refreshingly filled with God's palpable essence.......1998-02-27

This book is brimful of God's presence. It weaves
His shining light between the sentences,
dancing with the words. The real-life vignettes are wonderful!

a superb page-turner--inspiring and enthralling.......1998-02-27

I was enthralled, inspired and tickled by the range
of potent, poetic images, intimate and
fascinating life details and real insight into
the nature, direction and synchronicities of
following a God-Realized Master in today's world.

Along with the inspirational material, superb
metaphors, and wisdom, I think the book
fills a significant niche. [Special appreciation
by the way for the material on Repeating God's
Name, tidbits like VP Gore's contact with
Meher Baba, and the light touch in much of the
poetry.] We've never before had published
biographical material about American followers
of Meher Baba that readers can identify with.
I admire the home-movie quality the author
brings to this volume.
