Synopsis
Philip Fisher gilt als einer der Pioniere der modernen Investmenttheorie und zählt zu den einflussreichsten Investoren aller Zeiten.

"Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings" ist die aktualisierte Broschurausgabe der 1958 erschienenen Originalausgabe. Diese Neuauflage stellt Fishers Ideen einer neuen Generation von Investoren vor. Sie enthält alle Investmentweisheiten der Originalausgabe sowie ein erweitertes Vorwort und eine Einleitung von Philip Fishers Sohn Ken - selbst ein angesehener Investment-Guru.

Seller Feedback (353,405)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
