IBD Learning Center - Table Of
Contents

Welcome to the IBD Learning Center. Here, you'll learn what
really makes stocks move and how to profit the most from this
knowledge.

What makes our lessons different is that they're based on a
half-century of research — learning what really works in the stock
market. IBD Chairman and Founder William J. O'Neil embarked on one
of the most important studies ever of the U.S. stock market. He took
every available way to measure stock performance and compared how
well each indicator fared in predicting major stock advances. The
results led to a short list of characteristics that today remain the
best predictors of a stock's price performance. They are the
foundation of this Learning Center and the Investor's Business Daily
family of research tools.

TIP

To maximize your learning experience, take each
lesson in sequence, starting with the self-assessment quiz at the
beginning of each topic. The lessons are divided into individual
concepts. (Key terms are boldfaced.) At the end of each, there's
another quiz to confirm how much you've learned. Also, the Investor's Corner
Archives — a collection of IBD stories on investment basics —
expands on many of the course topics.
