I just finished reading How to Make Money in Stocks by William J. O'Neil for the third time. Every time I read it, it makes even more sense.

The final words in the last chapter from O'Neil say "My parting advice to you is: Have courage, be positive, and don't ever give up. Great opportunities occur every year in America. Get yourself prepared and go for it. You'll find that little acorns can grow into giant oaks. Anything is possible with persistence and hard work. It can be done, and your own determination to succeed is the most important element."
