By clicking on my name, you can read my previous posts on this book. I hope that my opinions are helpful.
For a lighthearted discussion of the fallacies of technical analysis and momentum trading, please refer to ‘The Money Game’ by Adam Smith (1967). The seminal mass-market book on the topic is ‘A Random Walk Down Wall Street’(1973), by Burt Malkiel.
Before making any serious investment, please consult with a professional — preferably a CFA charterholder with several years of experience.

This book is garbage. My feeling is that it is full of common senses in a stock market! Nothing really useful to be a successful trader. Don’t waste your money, like I did.

It has no fundamentals, nothing that can help you, only a so called method that’s garbage.

Perhaps the greatest investment that could be made regarding this book would be to read a copy at the library and deposit your money into an interest bearing account. Buying it assures a loss of the purchase price, in addition to anything you are silly enough to invest using this ‘method.’
Statistically, there is no correlation between returns of a stock from one period to another. In simple terms, they are random. Mr. O’Neil is pretending that he can somehow predict a random event. Believers of this probably also think they can consistently predict roulette numbers and die rolls. There is a disingenuous population of commission seeking, transaction-fee collecting charletans telling everyone they can ‘beat the market’. At least the casinos offer discounts on buffet dinners to their victims.
