Hi there. I read the book in 99 and used to get the IBD in print form. Its basically the study of breakouts on volume in leading stocks. combine it with solid risk management and enjoy investing. cheers.
You described my exact experience with CANSLIM - It was as if you were watching me trade the past couple years! Good stuff and I appreciate the insights. I’m an IBD Live subscriber and that’s how I found you. Couldn’t agree more that O’Niell has had a positive impact on my trading but I have been looking for more learning opportunities. You have really helped me in the short time I’ve been following your content. Thanks!
Starting in a choppy market you learn eventually that portfolio management and trade sizing is huge. Also market situational awareness is key… Saves your money and mind..
This is excellent and addresses my brief experience with breakouts, ie, most fail which gets “old” in a hurry. Last Sunday’s video was superb. Your focus on a small number of carefully selected quality companies with strong fundamentals is appreciated.
Thanks, Lee! If you are working with a breakout strategy, you need to be VERY restrictive as to which stocks qualify otherwise there will be a never ending stream of losses.
@@carusoinsightshey, would it make sense then to short / sell calls / buy puts against breakouts ?! Since most fail. Obviously keeping in mind the r/r as to not lose pants on the breakouts that actually work
Livermore and Wyckoff are clear. No more than 3 stocks in 3 industries. However they did not have a super computer. 10 stocks in 3 industries. each trade at approx 1 percent risk.
I face the same. Most of the time I punished by buying breakouts. Great video and hope to know your approach how to tackle with the issues you have mentioned.
read it 15 times. the secrets are in the fine print of the 100 charts. there are many secrets in this book. to tell you them, you would not understand their importance.
Great video! I'm aware of CANSLIM but haven't bought the book or used the system. As someone who has tried several different systems and experienced the downsides of those systems, it's nice to hear that perspective for this system.
Looking again at this for (X:th time!), this a perfect CANSLIM summary by you being a very skillfull investor/trader, thank you again. Just the subject of taking the profit or letting a trade run longer time with larger stop loss seems to be worth deeper discussion. It is discussed by another trader with long experience here on TH-cam. It would be highly appreciated to see a lecture/video specially on this subject with a few examples based on your experience and style.
Most of the times it works to have patience post breakout and accumulating in the consildation after the pullback post breakout ...imo operators have developed this great trap to stop out breakout traders ...
Thank you Bro ❤ Kindly plan for writing book for sharing your knowledge for timings, Risk management, portfolio management and position sizing which should be combined with canslim .
I could not agree more with your view that it is a simple method and strategy, but it is extremely difficult to implement behaviorally and seems easy from first glance. This is why I think so many people get attracted to the strategy and then leave after a time period such as the last 2 years.
You are so accurate, it really helps that you articulated the intense journey, and what this great book has, and what it hasn't. I think that Minevini's books fill the gap about entry tactics, position sizing, progressive exposure, and coping with different conditions of the market. Thank you for this enlightening video.
Great video. I feel like I’m going through exactly what you went through maybe. To your point, great book & so much foundational knowledge in there that is still the core of stock selection…but I’m glad I expanded my horizons in my investing/trading journey to learn from others & learn different stuff, including following everything you put out for the public!
Don’t worry about changing things if they don’t suit you. What you do hav to be cognizant about is making sure your change s don’t undermine the core of the system.
I have been trading for 30 years amd for me this strategy is far too much work and makes us attached and emotional with certain stocks and makes us make bad decisions holding on to them, trading with no emotions or detachment works a lot better for me and takes me a couple of hours per week, most people will never make money with this, 2 winners (sure big winners) out of 10 means the fundamental analysis work was all for nothing and you would get more success flipping a coin (which can make.money too) I agree with your verdict on the system, great video
That’s my exact take and experience with WON’s book. Thankfully IBD Live provides some of those external knowledge tips regarding risk management, portfolio management, trade sizing, etc. in addition to links to other educational resources and guest panelists such as yourself.
very similar IMHO , O Neills 4th edit is 1st for me and Weinstein is 2nd out of all my trading books , i think Weinstein is more breaking out of long bases /VCP's and O neill is breaking out of cup with handle followed by pullbacks , i prefer O neills method with my own twist
My 2 cents: I have been in the market since mid 2021. I told some of my stocks to my mother and sister. They have better returns than me in 2024. The reason for that is they don't see their portfolio for months and I see it everyday. Hence, I react to the market trends, they don't.
I've been in the markets for 30 years and I can tell you categorically you should never give stock tips to anyone and you are far more likely to lose money than someone who checks the charts infrequently, constantly watching charts will raise your emotions (the enemy of profit) raise your stress levels (leading to panic and poor decisions), unless you have many many years experience and success you should advise your family (best advice is never to take advice) to buy an extremely low index fund and dollar cost average for the next 30 years
I have watched tons of your videos especially on traderlion channel, and have learnt a lot from them, if possible kindly consider pen down and writing a book which will help a lot of people. Especially risk management and position sizing part
Matt, it seems that your system ignores the 'M - Market Direction'. While you commented that you made 346%+ in 2020 in a bull market, you didn't mention what you made in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Your system of holding on for home runs and not taking partial profits only works in a bull market, but has you fighting the trend and does not work in a choppy market like 2021 and 2022. My experience following your system has your members down -10 to 20% in 2022, down almost 10% in 2023 and a win rate under 10%. Losing money trade after trade in a choppy market while waiting for the next bull market is not a good system. Factor in inflation and your members will have to make 50+ percent just to break even after 2+ years of negative returns using your system. I really hope that your system will adapt to How to Make Money in a Choppy Market because that is where the real skill lies, not just a bull market where everybody can be a winner.
It’s a video on Canslim, not my career returns. I’ve been trading full time since 2008. I only launch my membership in March 2022, so I don’t know how you can extrapolate 2+ years of returns. In 2022 I was up single digits % and in 2023, so far down single digits%. Admittedly, it’s a tough market, but the system is designed to minimize drawdown in bad markets but really thrive in Bull markets. Anyway, markets are tough and I wish you the best of luck going forward.

I feel the same with CANSLIM. More focus would be needed on the portfolio management strategy and risk loss. Overall a must read anyway.

well articulated and excellent job threading a needle with a difficult message for many to understand who have not experienced the journey...
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Matt. As someone who bought my first stocks a fortnight ago you've convinced me to buy the book :)
You definitely won’t be disappointed!

Thanks a lot for sharing, I wish I have watched your video earlier, high-quality content, great insights!
Love your analysis and truthfulness
Great video! I prefer to buy pullbacks and you've really validated the experience i have had trying to buy breakouts and getting cut up
This is a great honest summary. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Would love to see your insights into accumulation/distribution on different timeframes from days you worked as MM
Great video! I'm aware of CANSLIM but haven't bought the book or used the system. As someone who has tried several different systems and experienced the downsides of those systems, it's nice to hear that perspective for this system.
Even if you don't plan on employing the strategy, I highly recommend you read O'Neil's book

Thanks for doing this video. I have had my share of frustrations in implementing Canslim.
Oh yes, I've been there. You know it works but you can't get it to work! The market environment makes a huge difference

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Matt speaks the truth about growth stock investment.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I’m as transparent as they come 👍🏻
Thanks for your honesty
Always!
Thanks for sharing!
Have you read Stan Weinstein book, any thoughts comparing Stan’s vs Bills approach to investing?
All the best!

Excellent honest review !
Most breakouts are fake outs
The skill, which I believe Bill O'NEil had, is to know when to use them. Not so easy in real time application

Can u pls make a full detailed video on "how to do post analysis "
Sure, I'll keep that in mind
Have you ever ran any back tests with the CANSLIM system? Or implementated CANSLIM in an automated strategy?
I haven’t, but I am currently starting a large research project
@@carusoinsights OK, cool, good luck :) I am looking to automate some of it with Python.
@@fredbennett5285 have you done it ?
you mention CANSLIM doesn't cover portfolio management, would you be able to recommended any books or resources which can fill in the gaps.
I cover it in my course. However, re: books, none really stand out.
@@carusoinsights OK thanks !
In the older books didn't he say you're looking for the top 2% of stocks? I don't think it's 2%.
I have watched tons of your videos especially on traderlion channel, and have learnt a lot from them, if possible kindly consider pen down and writing a book which will help a lot of people. Especially risk management and position sizing part
It is in the works!
Thanks! ❤
Married puts will make life easier when trading raw breakouts.
They’ll also kill your profits.
Please write a book!
I started, but it takes a lot of time. I hope to wrap it up by end of the year
Insider trading is the way to go.
Yeah! The way to go to prison..

If you don't have $100,000 to trade with in order to risk 1% to 2% per trade, then you shouldn’t be trading and that’s with top trading knowledge.

It is a laughable strategy. They talk about cup with broken handles or high tight ass flags. Warren Buffett would laugh at their silliness.
If you don't understand Warren Buffet is a value investor and Oneil is a growth and momentum trader, you need to keep learning.
Silly
