As per this book, investing money in any company isn’t a matter of luck and should not be played as a lottery game. There is an in-depth thought process behind that and through this book, the author helps the readers to know about picking companies that would prove to be worth investing their money in. The book mentions selecting a company for investment by starting to look at its merits, followed by the chain of logic that applies to every investment that brings profits successfully.
Sectioned as ‘Peter’s Principles, this book includes a list of principles that are a rich compilation to help investors make the best out of their wealth. Building an investment portfolio in its most profitable shape doesn’t always need a hand-holding but once the skill of investing is learned, the investors can research by themselves and acquire the necessary knowledge to succeed. Beating The Street was published as a revised edition by Simon and Schuster in 1994 and is available in paperback.
