Summary
Everything individual investors need to know to get in on the ground floor of the next Google Monster Stocks offers a solid blueprint for selecting breakout stocks and understanding all the market conditions surrounding them. Readers will learn how to recognize stocks that have the potential to at least double in value in a year or less-some even skyrocketing several thousand percent! Written by financial controller and former columnist John Boik, this wealth-builidng resource thoroughly examines every aspect of monster stocks: cycles and conditions that must be present for them to appear, historical trends to look for, how to pinpoint these stocks, when to buy, and when to sell for maximum return. The author also explains how to break bad stock investing habits and gives readers the tools needed to recognize future high-performers. "Study past big winners and you'll buy future ones."-William J. O'Neil, Chairman and Founder, Investor's Business Daily
