    Description of Paths to Wealth Through Common Stocks

    An updated investment classic, which outlines the proven approach of Philip Fisher

    Originally written by investment legend Philip Fisher (1907-2004) in 1960, this timeless investment classic is reintroduced by Fisher’s well-known and well-respected son–money manager Ken Fisher–in a new Foreword. Paths to Wealth through Common Stocks provides one original concept after another, each designed to greatly improve the results of those who manage their own investments–and shows those who rely on professional investment advice how to go about selecting the right adviser for their needs. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Paths to Wealth through Common Stocks summarizes how worthwhile profits can be made through common stock ownership, and reveals why this method can create the greatest profits with the least amount of risk. Many of the ideas found here may depart from conventional investment wisdom of the time, but the impressive results produced by these concepts will quickly remind readers why Fisher’s process is legendary.

    Philip A. Fisher began his career as a securities analyst in 1928, and founded Fisher & Company, an investment counseling business, in 1931. His other books include investment classics such as Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits (0-471-24609-3), Conservative Investors Sleep Well, and Developing an Investment Philosophy.
