2. Common Stocks And Uncommon Profits And Other Writings
And Other Writings
A classic guide to growth investing that emphasizes deep, qualitative research—often called the “scuttlebutt” approach—drawing on conversations with customers, suppliers and competitors and a checklist of traits (notably management quality, product innovation and durable competitive advantages) to identify businesses with exceptional long-term prospects. It advocates concentrated, patient holdings in well-understood companies, disciplined valuation, and independent decision-making rather than market timing or short-term speculation.
