Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits by Philip Fisher

I rated the book highly solely because of his sound and interesting advice but Mr. Fisher’s prose is dense, his paragraphs of Teutonic proportions, with far too much use of the relative pronoun — especially ‘which’, where ‘that’ would be correct — and the verb ‘to be’. It would surprise me if to-day’s txtmsg-standard readers could manage it without losing the will to live!

This book makes me want to finish up any other project I'm currently working on so I can spend my free time finding good investments. Excellent book, not to mention it's recommended by Warren Buffett.I was disappointed, however, that there wasn't an Unabridged Audio CD version. And the reader of the abridged audio CD is rather boring, but overall I'm very glad I found this book.

One of the main, repetitive advices is this book is to talk to the CEO or CFO of the company whose stock you are going to buy. I am rather confused how that is possible for an average investor. Since I am not yet in the same league as Warren Buffet or even Mr Fisher, I found much of the book's advice useless to me.There are some good points though (not paying attention to trailing P/E too much, not being obsessed with price of the stock, Cost averaging, not selling a winner to take profits, etc.) which make the audiobook useful.

The Book did not have the jacket as shown in picture.

Good Book.
