Invested Interest
William J. O'Neil of
Investor's Business Daily offers up some tips on managing your investments with a little start-up experience thrown in.
You might have done well in the stock market during the recent
boom. You might even have financed your start-up or expanded your
company with the profits. Or perhaps your cousin Jack's
incredible return on an Internet stock got you so excited that you
jumped right in-just before it dropped like a rock, taking your
nest egg and entrepreneurial dreams with it.
Whatever the case, it's probably because of luck, says
67-year-old investment guru William J. O'Neil. He's the
author of several books that feature a research-based approach to
why and when stocks move up or down, including the bestseller
How to Make Money in Stocks
(McGraw-Hill) and, most recently, 24 Essential Lessons for Investment
Success (McGraw-Hill).
O'Neil knows what it's like to invest your money in your
own business. He has started several companies, the most notable
being Investor's Business Daily (IBD), which he funded
entirely out of his own pocket-unheard of in the publishing
industry. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, IBD
is the fastest-growing major newspaper, with more than 839,000
readers.
