This updated edition retains the investment wisdom of the original edition and includes the perspectives of the author’s son Ken Fisher, an investment guru in his own right, in an expanded preface and introduction. His investment philosophies, introduced almost forty years ago, are not only studied and applied by today’s finance professionals, but are also regarded by many as gospel. He recorded these philosophies in Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, a book considered invaluable reading when it was first published in 1958, and a must-read today. As the first to consider a stock’s worth in terms of potential growth rather than price trends and absolute value, Fisher laid the foundation for many of today’s popular investment beliefs. His principles of selecting long-term growth stocks for their emerging value over short-term trades for initial profit continue to be studied and applied by today’s top finance professionals.
- Initially published in 1958, it is today considered an invaluable reference for investment success.
- There is also Fisher’s famous list of Top-Ten “Don’ts” for investors, complete with warnings against buying into promotional companies, over-stressing diversification, following the crowd, and buying stock just for the “tone” of its annual report.
- His investment philosophies, introduced almost forty years ago, are not only studied and applied by today’s financiers and investors, but are also regarded by many as gospel.
- These principles and theories were introduced by Fisher in Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits.
