Common Stocks & Uncommon Profits

Although Graham’s writing provided invaluable advice on how to mitigate risk and find hidden value on corporate balance sheets, other great thinkers assisted Buffett’s overall approach. Phil Fisher was one those influencers. His book really provides amazing guidance for investors to assess the potential value of successful and profitable business. He teaches the reader how to find growth opportunities in areas that many overlook. The book is organized in a fun manner and it’s fairly straight forward for anyone with a good grasp of financial terminology. This isn’t one of my personal favorites, but it’s a good book and well worth you time to read.
