Must read for Value Investors
Great book for someone who wants to start thinking on investment in Stock market. I read this book twice and really its aa fantastic read. This is one of the few books every investor should read my 2 cents for reading this first and then the Intelligent Investor as this book provide you on how you should go on Stock picking and Intelligent investors gives you a much deeper analysis along with what happened with the US Stock markets for some period of years.. both are must read.Allwyn

A must for all investors
The great investor Phillip Fisher wrote this book more than fifty years ago.In this book Mr. Fisher describes interesting ways of acquiring more information about companies that you wish to invest in. He describes how to identify outstanding companies, how to determine companies' competitive advantages, and what to look for when buying a company, as well as when to sell a company and when not to. Don't miss reading part two of the book, "Conservative investors sleep well." This book is a must for those who are investing from a business point of view.The book provided a great framework and understanding of the questions that you need to ask before investing in a company and where one should look for answers. The author even utilizes a method that is more common today than in the past - a list of don'ts.Many of the companies that appear in the book do not exist anymore but I believe that the book lessons are as valid as they were 50 years ago.Amir AvitzurAuthor of "Why do we sell low and buy high?

1/2 Your Investment Library
Fisher's book should be 1/2 your investment library; the otherhalf should be Ben Graham's ``The Intelligent Investor''. WarrenBuffet, the world's most successful investor, describes himself as ``85% Graham, 15% Fisher.''Fisher explains the qualitative side to value investing, just as Graham explains the quantitative side. You really need both. If you follow Graham's advice insensitively, then you will find stocks which are selling cheap--because the company is truly in trouble. That's where Fisher comes in: you should examine low-priced companies from Fisher's perspective to find the ones which truly are bargains.... Online discussions are no substitute for firsthand discussion with employees, competitors, etc. You simply can't meet enough people online; some companies' employees aren't even on the Internet. ... you will end up investing only in tech stocks--which I would consider extremely short-sighted.On the other hand, online discussion is considerably better than nothing. Don't neglect the information you can find online! This source of information will become increasingly important over time.
