Product Description
Critical Praise for Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings
“You will find lots of jewels in these pages that may do as much for you as they have for me.”
–– Kenneth L. Fisher
“I sought out Phil Fisher after reading his Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings. When I met him, I was as impressed by the man as by his ideas. A thorough understanding of the business, obtained by using Phil’s techniques . . . enables one to make intelligent investment commitments.”
–– Warren Buffett
“Little known to the public, rarely interviewed, and accepting few clients, Philip Fisher is nevertheless read and studied by most thoughtful investment professionals . . . everyone will profit from pondering–as Warren Buffett has done–the investment principles Fisher espouses.”
–– James W. Michaels
former editor, Forbes
“My own copy [of Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings] has underlinings and marginal thoughts throughout.”
–– John Train
author of Dance of the Money Bees
Updated features include a new Preface and Introduction from Kenneth L. Fisher

This book best qualify as a novel. A bunch of stories. It is hard to beleive that a book on investing doesn’t mention and explain stock market strategies like value stock. growth stock, P/E…etc

The book is not even close to what the title claims to be. The strategy in the book is outdated and it spent too much time to “polish” the author family instead! It’s not for those who want solid knowledges for real battles. It was not worth the money I paid at all.

Am I the only one who finds this book to be completely vague? There’s about as much strategy in this book as is to be found by looking up “strategy” in the dictionary. Replete with tautologies, and containing sections oozing with elitism in some silly way supported by preachy ‘axioms’ of elementary logic, which I suppose are meant to ‘open my mind’ to the ‘correct’ road of value investment. I found myself asking ‘was Fisher in love with himself?’ A boring, mostly fruitless read, offering insight only into Fisher’s secret surprise at his own economic self sufficiency.

If you want to know how to invest in the Stock Market, not just gamble, this is a must have. These principles are not flashpan trends but fundamentals as valid today as in the 30′s and 40′s.
