Book Reviews of The Little Book That Builds Wealth: The Knockout Formula for Finding Great Investments (Little Books. Big Profits)

Book Review: A sensible approach to picking stocks
Summary: 4 Stars

How do you pick stocks? Do you pay attention to earnings? Chart patterns? Growth potential? Your Uncle Morty? Instead of all that, use the same basic system that investment guru Warren Buffett perfected: Look for solid profitable companies that own a piece of the market, buy their stock and hold it a long time. Morningstar, the investment research company, uses the same approach to analyze and rate stock values. Its director of equity research, Pat Dorsey, explains its stock analysis system in this small volume. The stock selection system calls for seeking companies with protected unique advantages, called "economic moats." What sounds straightforward in theory may not be as easy in practice: Finding a structurally protected stock today is not necessarily a simple stroll across the drawbridge. Still, getAbstract finds Dorsey's presentation succinct and readable, and recommends it to investors who are not yet familiar with value investing and similar approaches.

Summary of The Little Book That Builds Wealth: The Knockout Formula for Finding Great Investments (Little Books. Big Profits)

In The Little Book That Builds Wealth, author Pat Dorsey-the Director of Equity Research for leading independent investment research provider Morningstar, Inc.-reveals why competitive advantages, or economic moats, are such strong indicators of great long-term investments and examines four of their most common sources: intangible assets, cost advantages, customer-switching costs, and network economics. Along the way, he skillfully outlines this proven approach and reveals how you can effectively apply it to your own investment endeavors.
