Am I the only one who finds this book to be completely vague? There's about as much strategy in this book as is to be found by looking up "strategy" in the dictionary. Replete with tautologies, and containing sections oozing with elitism in some silly way supported by preachy 'axioms' of elementary logic, which I suppose are meant to 'open my mind' to the 'correct' road of value investment. I found myself asking 'was Fisher in love with himself?' A boring, mostly fruitless read, offering insight only into Fisher's secret surprise at his own economic self sufficiency.
Time Tested Strategy
If you want to know how to invest in the Stock Market, not just gamble, this is a must have. These principles are not flashpan trends but fundamentals as valid today as in the 30's and 40's.
Scuttlebutt is great
This is a great book. For me, personally, scuttlebutt revolutionized my way of investing. Small-cap companies are not followed as closely as the big blue chip companies, and I found it essential to use the scuttlebutt approach to assess the strengths and weaknesses of individual companies. It is amazing what one can find out by talking with industry experts, competitors, salesmen, managers, and many other industry participants. This book teaches readers how to evaluate companies on a qualitative basis versus quantitative.

Great book
This book served me well from the early 1960s until now. It stood out from the other financial books then and does today. Lawrence Wegeman, Jr.
