Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits is a classic investment guide with a focus on conservative investments and long-term growth. Fisher explores not only how to maintain an investment portfolio, but how to choose the most promising stocks based on company management and potential. He insists on an individualized approach to managing and investing in the stock market and a ten-year minimum plan to see a return on investments. Fisher’s main take-away is that conservative investing is not as flashy as some other strategies, but will guarantee returns over your lifetime.
