If you are expecting to learn how to make quick money from the stock market by reading this book, you'll be, without doubt, disappointed. It is, however, one of the best books to help develop sound and solid knowledge about surviving the stock market and making uncommon profits in the long run.
In order to grasp the general picture of the messages from the author, I rushed it through the first time I read it. And I have got a strong feeling that it pays to read this book from cover to cover. Now, I am about to read it the second time slowly, page by page.
Warren Buffett has scarcely recommended books about the stock market. This book is one of the exceptions. I am a follower of Buffett's philosophy, so I have no qualms at all about recommending this book to those who aim to develop a long-term perspective of the stock market.

I've not heard of the name "Philip Fisher" in my entire school years (4 yrs Undergrad. b-school & 2 yrs MBA) even I've been majoring in Finance. The "fundamental" approach in investing, as opposed to looking at a "beta", has been so ignored by the academica as it's "not objective enough" or that it has no math involved. Indeed, the book is 95% art & 5% science, and there're no certain ways to pick up the technique. However, the book makes so much sense to me that I had to read it twice. The principles are sound and stand through the test of time. Most investing books disappear after a few years, and this one is still as good. Some of the techniques are hard to put into practice such as "getting to know the management" and "investigate the competitors", but this book lets you know that selecting an outstanding long term investment involves more homeworks than most people are willing to do nowaday. The tradeoff btw. "easy money" and risk always exists even in today's stockmarket most people don't know what kind of risk they're undertaking.
Surely a great buy! December 30, 1998

An excellent book. Can be understood by any layman and the ideas expounded are applicable not only in the US but I think universal. The book has changed my way of looking at buying stocks and to be focused on the growth stocks for long term growth instead of following the ups and downs of the stock market everyday. But there are some pointers that might be a little bit hard to be followed by the layman. Such are the information needed about the organisations' management that your intended to buy in. These information are hard to come by and more importantly assessing them; and another wrong steps could cost the investor. But, again, if to follow Fisher's ideas about spreading the risk, think the cost would not be too heartbreaking.

Fisher opens up his investment philosophy after over 50 years of investing. Three books for the price of one-=- a true bargain. Now if we can only practise what we learn without repeating his mistakes. J
Priceless ideas from the mind of a genius ! August 19, 1998

Those lucky enough to read Philip Fisher's writings early in their investment lifetime, get by far the most logical advice ever formulated. The few who follow it tenaciously, are bound to enjoy it's results forever. Philip Fisher's investment mind-set allows you to think in terms of decades, not years, and focus on patiently finding the best companies, and owning them forever. Clear words from a timeless genius !
