Cover of Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits

Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits

Philip Fisher's investing ideas were first presented almost forty years ago, and investors still study his approach to choosing stocks. This updated paperback reprints the full original text of his 1958 work, which argues for picking companies with strong growth prospects and holding them for the long term. The new edition adds a foreword and an introduction by Fisher's son, Ken, who explains how the book shaped his own career and how his father's passion for investing filled their family life. It suits readers interested in finance, from individual investors to professionals.
