Super Stocks

This is one of the titles that I wish I had caught when I was much, much younger. Not that 28 is a bad age to be reading this book. But looking back, so much more could have been done back then with the excellent analytical tools that Ken Fisher espouses in this outright investment classic.

Super Stocks has been slightly revised from its 1984 edition, though not much has been changed in terms of contents.

While the world was obsessed with cliché indicators such as the Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio, Ken Fisher is the rebel who first defined and pioneered the technique of using the Price to Sales Ratio (PSR) and Price to Research Ration (PRR) as primary forecasting tools. The technique has been remarkably accurate as you will see in the clearly given examples.

Besides the discussion on numbers, Super Stocks takes a look Fisher’s forays into the technology stocks of the 1980s. The details on how he managed to get in right at the bottom of Stellar companies like Verbatim makes for a very compelling read.
