Warren Buffett “sought out Phil Fisher” after reading this book. Buffett adopted many of Fisher’s principles when he shifted from buying fair companies at cheap prices to buying great companies at fair prices. This is a classic investment book filled with timeless principles. I liked Fisher’s “Scuttlebutt” research method, which encourages gathering firsthand insights to gain an edge beyond financial statements. Originally published in 1958, the book was republished in 1996 and 2003.
