IBD Method of Investing

IBD is Investor's Business Daily, founded by William O'Neil. O'Neil created the CAN SLIM(TM) method of investing, which combines fundamental and technical analysis, and teaches sound buying and selling rules. I found that there were a lot of facts to remember and I created these flash cards to help people learn IBD's method of investing and remember the facts so they could be more effective.

Disclaimer: This is not a solicitation to buy or sell securities. Investing and Trading is risky. I have tried to make these cards factually correct, but I can make no guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of this material. This is just a fraction of what you need to know to be a successful investor anyway. If you want to be a successful investor, I suggest reading a lot of books and joining a local stock group. Check meetup.com for Investor's Business Daily meetups.
