    12. Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits - Philip A. Fisher

    In this episode of Compounding Interest, we review the seminal investment classic, Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits by Philip A. Fisher. Originally published in 1958, this work redefined the world of finance by shifting the focus from purely quantitative data to the qualitative characteristics of a business. We examine Fisher’s “Fifteen Points” for stock selection, which provide a practical framework for identifying companies with significant market potential, effective research, and management of unquestionable integrity. The episode explores the “scuttlebutt” method, a technique for gathering vital information through a business “grapevine” of competitors, vendors, and customers. We also discuss Fisher’s authoritative views on market timing and his disciplined philosophy that the best time to sell an outstanding stock is “almost never”. For investors seeking to maintain purchasing power at a minimum of risk, this review offers clear insights into identifying sustainable growth. This episode is essential for anyone interested in mastering long-term money management and financial literacy. Buy it on Amazon.

    11. Security Analysis - Benjamin Graham, David L. Dodd

    In this episode of Compounding Interest, we review the seminal work Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd. Originally published in 1934, this text established value investing as a comprehensive philosophy centered on performing in-depth fundamental analysis. The authors draw a critical distinction between investment and speculation, defining an investment operation as one that, upon thorough study, promises safety of principal and a satisfactory return. Our review examines the core concept of intrinsic value, which represents the worth of a security justified by tangible facts like assets and earnings rather than psychological excesses. We explore Graham and Dodd’s methodology for analyzing balance sheets and income accounts to identify discrepancies between a security's price and its true value. Central to their approach is the "margin of safety," a principle providing room for error or market fluctuations by purchasing assets for less than they are worth. This episode highlights why these principles remain an essential roadmap for disciplined investors navigating unpredictable modern markets. Buy it on Amazon.
