If your a fan of the paper, you'll enjoy its company historyOct 20, 2004
By K. Kaczmarek
"The things you own, end up owning you - Tyler Durden"
I bought this book as an opportunity to learn more about my new subscription to Investors Business Daily (IBD) what I got instead was a look at the evolution of the company and not the making of millionaires as the title suggests. If you are looking for a book that takes past examples of IBD millions you will be disappointed to only find 2 stories in here. If you are looking to learn more about the rise of IBD and its business competition with the Wall Street Journal, you will enjoy this. There are many excerpts from previous print editions and the book leaves you with an understanding of what IBD is trying to bring to their readers. Finally there is an epilogue that speaks to the five steps of investing with IBD using the analogy of an Olympic event, stressing practice, hard work and a positive attitude

 Not particularly helpful.Dec 14, 2005
By Michael S. Godsey
"Snappy"
It's an OK book and if I'd read the title a little closer I probably wouldn't have purchased it. Basically the book details how IBD became a viable business by teaching different (and better) investing rules and helping average people locate potentially above average stocks. However, if you are interested in the hows and whys of stock picking get a subscription to IBD (I like the online PDF version myself) the information that comes with being a subscriber is far more detailed than what is in this book.

Nice Background History on IBDSep 11, 2009
By M. R. Bergeron
""The Berge""
For those looking for a historical record of Investor's Business Dailey than this book is for you. Of course it doubles as a piece of marketing for IBD, but for true fans of the publication it shouldn't be bothersome. Its writen in a well documented and easy to read breazy fashion that makes it both a quick and enjoyable read.

Great cheerleadingApr 14, 2009
By 4Birds
"4Birds"
If you subscribe to IBD and would like to read some about the origin of the paper as well as cheerleading you to follow the CANSLIM system, then this is the book. You can get the same excitment from reading the readers success stories at the back of the book How to Make Money in Stocks.
