Born and Raised

William Joseph O’Neil was born in 1933 in the southern plains of Oklahoma.

He was an only child but this was not the reason to get spoiled. He was a hard working kid that wanted to get something in his life.

His childhood was shaped by the economic depression which was in some part one of the pillars of financial discipline and work.

As a young boy he was delivering newspapers to make some money to help his family.

He attended southern methodist university and graduated with a degree in business in 1955.

Later he served in the Airforce. During that time he bought the first stock, five shares of Procter and Gamble. He wanted to become a stockbroker.

Later on he joined Hayden Stone & Co in 1958. He started as a broker where he did not know anyone.

He started without any account he could trade for so it was a hard start. So he started to look for the ones who are successful.

He looked at Dreyfus mutual fund who was performing very well at the time. He started with charting where he used quantitative analysis with computers.

At the beginning he bought Chrysler in 1962, Korvette discount department stores and Syntex Laboratories Inc.

He managed to increase his investment, $5000 into more than $200 000.

In 1964 he became the youngest person that bought the seat on the New York Stock Exchange.

William O’Neil Quotes

90% of the people in the stock market, professionals and amateurs alike, simply haven’t done enough homework

William O’Neil

The whole secret to winning in the stock market is to lose the least amount possible when you’re not right

William O’Neil

I make it a rule to never lose more than 7 percent on any stock I buy. If a stock drops 7 percent below my purchase price, I will automatically sell it at the market – no second-guessing, no hesitation

William O’Neil

Some investors have trouble making decisions to buy or sell. In other words, they vacillate and can’t make up their minds. They are unsure because they really don’t know what they are doing. They do not have a plan, a set of principles, or rules to guide them and, therefore, are uncertain of what they should be doing

William O’Neil

When a stock pulls back in price, you want to see volume dry up, indicating no significant selling pressure. When it rallies you want to see volume rise, which usually represents institutional buying

William O’Neil

The stock market does not go up due to greed, it goes up because of new products, new services and inventions

William O’Neil

Don’t be thrown off by the swarm of gloom and doomers. In the long run, they have seldom made anyone any money or provided any real happiness. I have also never met a successful pessimist

William O’Neil Trading Rules

Here are list of O’Neil trading rules which you can find in his books and in his CANSLIM strategy:

  1. Cut losses at 8%
  2. Do not buy cheap stocks, they should be higher than $20
  3. Buy stocks from top industries
  4. Stock company should have great product or service that is performing great
  5. Respect CANSLIM

William O’Neil On Mistakes

When you are investing you will make a lot of mistakes. All traders make mistakes.

Do not just sit and hope that the mistake will pass away. You should cut every single mistake, every loss you have.

If you have an 8% loss simply sell the stock. Do not just sit and wait for it to come back.

Because it can happen that it will fall even further and you could end up losing more than 50% or even more.

Market does not know who you are and does not care about you. You need to protect yourself and your investment.
