Press and Industry Reviews

"The Little Book That Builds Wealth provides a sensible framework for identifying companies that can sustain high returns on capital. Pat Dorsey tells the reader how to look for durable competitive advantage in choosing equities. His four sources of structural competitive advantage: (1) intangible assets; (2) switching costs; (3) network effect; and (4) cost advantage are particularly valuable in selecting long–term equity commitments."
- Louis A. Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Capital Operations, GEICO Corporation

"Pat Dorsey provides a practical framework for integrating the realities of a changing future into today′s investment decisions. A little art and a little science - key ingredients to successful long-term investing."
- Larry D. Coats, Chief Executive Officer, Oak Value Capital Management, Inc.

"Spend two evenings reading Pat Dorsey's The Little Book and you'll cast away all the techniques that failed for you in the past. This is the definitive text on how to identify strong-performing businesses for your portfolio and, more importantly, how to avoid thousands of investments that won't stand the test of time. It's must reading for every investor."
- Timothy P. Vick, Senior Portfolio Manager, The Sanibel Captiva Trust Co., and author of How to Pick Stocks Like Warren Buffett
