Features: The wisdom of five investment masters—Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, Philip Fisher, Thomas Preiss, and John Templeton—can help you become rich. If you want to understand literature, you must study the writers; if you want to understand music, you must study the composers. So why do many investment textbooks ignore these remarkable investors and instead promote the Efficient Market Theory, which claims that no one can predict the market and therefore human factors can be disregarded? Thank you to Nicole Rose for correcting this with her book "Wall Street's Dream Team." In this book, you will find many practical tips—more than what you would get from 12 dogmatic investment textbooks combined.—Don Phillips, CEO of Morningstar Research Company "By studying how others profit from the stock market, every investor learns something useful. 'Wall Street's Dream Team' brilliantly reveals the strategies of America's five most famous stock investors. You will see how adopting the strategies of Graham, Buffett, Preiss, and others can help you build your own investment portfolio. You will definitely benefit from it."—Steven S. Sarnoff, Director of Value Line Research Publishing Company "This book presents an unprecedented study of the greatest financial minds of our time and is a must-read for all investors."—Dr. Christopher L. Hayes, Founder and Director of the National Center for Women and Retirement Research "In 35 years of common stock investing, I've come across a few books that I found useful. This is one of them, and it is one of the few good books I recommend to all serious investors."—Philip K. Schwager, Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder and Private Investor The wisdom of five legendary investors is condensed into three key steps of investing, accompanied by how to apply their strategies in any market condition—up, down, or volatile.
