Very well structured guideline for stock picking

Very well structured guideline for stock picking. The books illustrates Fisher’s 15 points a stock should present to be considered for purchase. Then, it discusses elements an investor should avoid while assessing opportunities, and the timing he/she should favour to get into an investment.
I’m wondering how the books can still be applied in more developed markets, but nevertheless it is definitely worth your time. 5 starts.

Useful, insightful and concise information

Gives a useful and accessible summary off his investment philosophy/ approach. Would have been great to have more details on implementing. Worth listening to periodically as a refresher.
