DESCRIPTION:
From the Publisher Regarded as one of the pioneers of modern investment theory, Philip A. First published in 1958, this investment classic is considered a must-read as the foundation for many of today's popular investment beliefs. 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. Fisher's investment principles are studied and used by contemporary finance professionals including Warren Buffett.

He calls himself a growth investor, but I think anyone looking for a good solid foundation in value investing, ala Ben Graham, Warren Buffet, or Joel Greenbl. "I won't go into too much detail as to spoil the book but this is a great read for any investor" according to M-M. Must read! This book explains the investment philosophy of how Fisher finds growth stocks that lead to massive gains if held forever! It also includes his other writings such as Conservative Investors Sleep Well. I won't go into too much detail as to spoil the book but this is a great read for any investor..
