Publisher's Summary

Widely respected and admired, Philip Fisher is among the most influential investors of all time. His investment philosophies, introduced almost 40 years ago, are not only studied and applied by today's financiers and investors, but are also regarded by many as gospel. This book is invaluable for investors and has been since it was first published in 1958. 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.

Excellent overview of essential investment thinking

Fisher uses simple language to explain his investment philosophy which should be any investor’s thinking. It encompasses the stock market from 30’s to 90’s but is just as relevant today.

too much fluff

sometimes getting to the point is easier said than done but this book honestly does not need to be so long! it repeats the same message over and over as if it's playing a psych game of repeat affirmations
