Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits
Philip Fisher pioneered growth investing with his 'scuttlebutt' method — gathering qualitative intelligence about companies from customers, suppliers, competitors, and employees. His fifteen points for evaluating growth stocks emphasize R&D capability, profit margins, management integrity, and long-term competitive advantage. Warren Buffett credits Fisher's influence as second only to Graham's.
Fisher's '15 points to look for' — a qualitative framework for assessing growth companies that influenced Buffett's evolution toward business quality.
