Am I the only one who finds this book to be completely vague? There's about as much strategy in this book as is to be found by looking up "strategy" in the dictionary. Replete with tautologies, and containing sections oozing with elitism in some silly way supported by preachy 'axioms' of elementary logic, which I suppose are meant to 'open my mind' to the 'correct' road of value investment. I found myself asking 'was Fisher in love with himself?' A boring, mostly fruitless read, offering insight only into Fisher's secret surprise at his own economic self sufficiency.Get more detail about Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings (Wiley Investment Classics).
