I own all the editions. I prefer the first and the fourth. The first for raw nostalgia, and the fourth for the expanded chart book.

Actually it's more than 2 million sales with your purchase=LOL

I didn't know that!

Edit:
Yep
On January 5, 2012, after energy drinks had grown to the largest source of revenue, shareholders agreed to change the name of the company from Hansen's Natural to Monster Beverage Corporation, under the new ticker MNST. Shareholders also approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to 240,000,000 shares from 120,000,000 shares.

My second largest spec position currently is CELH, another energy drink manufacturer/marketer. I started buying in 2020 in the $7's. Sold it in November 2021 in the $80's after it made new all-time highs above $100 and closed the week outside and down. Started buying again in 2022 in the low-mid $40's.
I wouldn't be surprised to see PEP try to acquire this one. Someone is bound to ask why I didn't sell it.
My largest spec holding is SMCI. It is mighty extended now and I've taken some profits on it. If the market were to break and SMCI breaks with it, I'll close it out but it will remain on my watchlist. This isn't the dot com were tech names topped and died. Quality companies, for example NVDA, will probably continue to give active swing traders further opportunities for large profits.

I'm reading an article on investing.com on him now, ''Learn From the Best''
People asked him[WO'N] ,''why not buy bonds.....?'' He said simple ,I dont want to get distracted''
I noticed he seldom liked 2nd best also LOL
He also said ''I dont know why people buy ETFs, I can make more money with stocks''
I do, i can average less losses with ETFs, so sometimes that makes more profit .
If my name was WO'N or Mike [Marlin ] Masters , I would buy stocks also.

AMAZING all the drinks[+ water] selling now + different hamburger sellers
I did try quite a few single stocks this JAN , seemed like a major turning point+ was.
But I limited it to about 10% max for of them;
+stopped when SPY benchmark started to outperform me , weekly .
Amazing info on William o' Neill , I just found out he founded 12 companies ;+ sold IBD to News Corp for $275 million
But SPY has outperformed FFTY[IBD 50] in almost every year except one year.
I remember he was born in depression, 1930s. but i did not know he was raised in a multifamily home on Indian reservation+ sold newspapers @ 6 years old
the first edition is pretty cool and can be reviewed in one day, even because a couple of chapters at the end are not useful.
As you are into weekly charts since long time, please do you think volume can be today manipulated on a weekly timeframe, aka is still significant as O'Neill and Weinstein used to say? Thanks
%%
IT can be important;
but volume = real on weekly charts .
Intraday single stocks could be ''painted'' or whitewashed
LOLBUT insisting on daily stair stepping volume[IBD books insist on that ]maybe too limiting.
