Jim Slater is one of the foremost stockmarket investment experts of our time. His chief strengths are his uncanny ability to identify undervalued companies and his farsighted reading of the market trends. In this volume, Jim Slater makes available to the investor - whether the owner of only a few shares or an experienced investment manager with a large portfolio - the secret of his success. Central to his strategy is "The Zulu Principle", the benefits of homing in on a relatively narrow area. Deftly blending anecdote and analysis, Jim Slater gives valuable selective criteria for buying dynamic growth shares, turnarounds, cyclicals, shells and leading shares. He covers many other vitally relevant aspects of investment such as creative accounting, portfolio management, overseas markets and the investor's relationship with their broker. From "The Zulu Principle" you can learn exactly when to buy shares and, even more important, when to see - in essence, how to make "extraordinary profits from ordinary shares".
"Jim Slater was, for a time, the single most powerful influence on the business scene. Twenty years on, he has refined, honed and distilled his investment thoughts into a book that is vintage Slater: innovative, imaginative, original and fresh with sophisticated investment methods made to seem simple and glaringly obvious - if only you'd thought of them before."
- Ivan Fallon, Sunday Times
"When I was making my run from being a small business man to something larger, Jim Slater dominated the City. Somehow or other he was involved in virtually every major deal. He rode the waves with unprecedented skill, imagination and charisma. No wonder this book is an essential building block for understanding investment."
- Sir James Goldsmith
"Jim Slater's book is very readable, alive and fascinating. For anyone seriously interested in investment, it is essential reading. I recommend it strongly."
- Lord Hanson
