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

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.
