Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits – Philip A. Fisher

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits by Philip A. Fisher: One of the most influential investment texts ever written, Fisher introduces the "scuttlebutt" method of research—gathering information about a company from its employees, competitors, and suppliers. He focuses on identifying "growth" companies with exceptional management and long-term potential. His philosophy of buying high-quality businesses and holding them for the long term remains a cornerstone of the value-growth investing style favored by many top investors.
