I've been an avid subscriber of IBD since 1990, after I read William O'Neil's seminal book "How to Make Money in Stocks" and attended two seminars led by Mr. O'Neil himself and investing expert David Ryan. Using the information and strategies I discovered in the book and seminars, I invested in a little company called Cisco Systems at the "Pivot Point of the Decade", October 1990. CSCO ran almost non-stop for the rest of the decade. IBD helped me to make an average of 80% a year on my investments throughout the 1990's. It led me to a couple of 10-baggers (up over 1,000% in a year) with TASR and NBTY. Needless to say, I'm an IBD subscriber for life!
