Holiday Season provides a greater opportunity for reading. @peejayhercules mentioned a M.Minervini book a while back. Had a read of that and then found W.O'Neil's How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times and Bad. The Bad being a pertinent condition at present. I took out a cheapie trial at Investors Business Daily, www.investors.com, which he established & I have found it to be most worthwhile and stayed on as a regular subs. It provides a good filter to look at which US stocks to trade and a host of other material. And turns out it's a service M.Minervini has been using for only 35 years . . .
