About this title: Regarded as one of the pioneers of modern investment theory, Philip A. Fisher's investment principles are studied and used by contemporary finance professionals including Warren Buffett. Fisher was the first to consider a stock's worth in terms of potential growth instead of just price trends and absolute value. His principles espouse identifying long-term growth stocks and their emerging value as opposed to choosing short-term trades for initial profit. First published in 1958, this investment classic is considered a must-read as the foundation for many of today's popular investment beliefs.

"This is a good book and tells you very well how to qualitatively value a business. Timeless advice, but the out-of-date examples does irk you in some parts."
"The investment advice provided is reasonable and straightforward, but like most good advice the problem is in the execution. However, the writing style is atrocious and the information contained could have been presented in 60% of the space, if the writing had been better."
"Title is self explanitory. This book goes into detail about sound strategies to picking winning stocks from companies with great management, products, and financials. He prefers to ignore the stock of the day and instead search for out of favor stocks in beaten down industries that have the liklihood of returning to past glory. He expects to find stocks that will double in 5 years and will net him a 15% yearly gain. He favors value investing over momentum investing and is able to stomach downturns in the market."
"Fisher's book added to the investment literature most effectively through his practical "scuttlebutt" process for collecting qualitative fundamental data. Today, business models such as Coleman, Guidepoint, and Gerson Lehrman are leading advocates of dissiminating channel information.
This book should be on the shelf of each true student of investing."
