From the Back Cover

"Market commentators and investment managers who glibly refer to 'growth' and 'value' styles as contrasting approaches to investment are displaying their ignorance, not their sophistication." —Warren Buffett, 2001

The stock market will present magnificent opportunities for those who know what to look for over the next ten years. It will also be littered with the same old traps for those unaware of the vital principles for good investing. Those using an intellectually cheap and easy way to fortune will find their path strewn with dangerous temptations. Valuegrowth investing will help investors move adeptly and avoid the potential pitfalls on the path to fortune.

Valuegrowth Investing:

• draws on investment principles discovered by world-renowned investors such as Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett
• combines these principles with insights provided by recent developments in the field of business strategy to provide a coherent investment philosophy for tomorrow's investment strategies
• describes what the ordinary investor should focus on and then offers evaluation techniques to identify underpriced shares
• provides tools for analyzing key investment factors
• shows that successful investing does not require great intellect, it requires great principles.

Valuegrowth investing is an integrated approach that brings together the requirements of growth and value in selected shares and answers the key question for investors: "What are the crucial elements leading to the successful analysis of shares?" It provides a sound intellectual framework for understanding the behavior of shares and making investment selections, as well as providing a bulwark against emotions corroding that framework.

Valuegrowth Investing is divided into two parts. The first part describes the philosophies of the world's most influential investors:

• Peter Lynch
• John Neff
• Benjamin Graham
• Philip Fisher
• Warren Buffett
• Charles Munger

The second part fuses the main elements of these approaches with modern strategic and financial analysis to develop a philosophy and set of guidelines for the valuegrowth investor.

All investors are searching for the Holy Grail of a set of sound and profitable investment principles to guide them in share selections. Valuegrowth Investing shows that the Grail has been found. It was hidden in the writings of the great investors of the twentieth century.
