William O'Neil passed away last week. He contributed to so many people's success (myself included), he's a big part of the reason why I'm here, and why you're able to watch this.
Trading is hard. Bill found a way that not only worked and built a personal fortune out of it, he dedicated most of his life to teaching and helping others how to do the same.
I was listening to Allissa Coram's interview with Mark Minervini on Bill's legacy (watch it, I highly recommend it). Mark touched on one of his big takeaways from Bill that I also personally share.
..It'd be one thing if Bill shared his knowledge of what worked and laid out his framework (he did).
...It'd be another thing if he revolutionized an industry, took on the WSJ by creating his own newspaper "Investors Business Daily" (he did).
...And it'd be another if he spent his own time, money, and resources teaching his methods, staying involved, developing many master level training programs, and community meetups through the years (he did that too).
But perhaps my BIGGEST takeaway from Bill O'Neil was that of being a coach. He was a coach to the masses. What he learned and where he found success, he wanted to pay it forward. Building confidence. Instilling a "never give up," "you can do it!" attitude. Inspiring!
As a guy who failed at trading for a decade before knowing who Bill O'Neil was, his was exactly the kind of rhetoric and framework I needed to hear. And it wasn't just talk. It was a conviction that came from research, experience, and lots of proof.
Through his work, William O'Neil helped me turn my trading around. He helped me find success, and many like-minded people, and inspired me to walk his path.
I'm grateful that God put William O'Neil in my life and may God rest his soul.
(And if you haven't read Bill's book "How To Make Money In Stocks" yet, get it, read it, study it).
