Critic reviews

"I am an eager reader of whatever Phil [Fisher] has to say, and I recommend him to you". (Warren Buffett)

Decent introduction on growth stocks

you might require read much more as a growth stock investor though the general guidelines are good it's kind of a bird's eye view.

Good enough

Good enough, but would rather wait for a complete version instead of the abridged one.

Well spoken

Probably the most well spoken book on investing I have ever heard. Some of the english is pretty old school, and the author words things rather poetically, but his style of writing allows a reader to get the main points across easily. Chapters such as “15 points” and “five things not to do” make the book unambiguous. I suggest you to slow the book down though because the narrator is a very fast reader for such an old way of speaking.

great Insight on investing smart it is a must that

I listen to this again so my knowledge will grow thank you audible great work

Struggled with monotone voice, but good book

I thought the book was useful, but I struggled with the reader's voice. This book took me much longer than I anticipated because I had gotten lost in the monotone voice. I had to rewind and review parts multiple times to get it. I ultimately used a summary to help me get the jist of the book, which helped me the most.
