A timeless classic, Paths to Wealth through Common Stocks includes one distinctive concept after another, each tailored to profoundly refine the results of those who manage their own investments and help select the right advisor to those who rely on professional investment advice. This book is a supplementary of Fisher's highly regarded Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits. Rich with in-depth insights and expert advice, many of the ideas spotted here may vary from typical investment wisdom, but the impressive results brought by these concepts will surely remind you why Philip Fisher is considered a legend.
