Great post, thanks for sharing! I’m currently rereading Common Stocks so this is very funny timing. It’s a truly wonderful book. However, his comments on hyperinflation certainly didn’t pan out! Maybe he should have taken his own advice and thought a bit less about the macro ;-)

Which is ironic because Phil Fishers son is a tremendous voice of reason when it comes to the macro. Ken Fisher has a real talent for the global outlook.

Really great stuff, I love this one: "“Nobody ever went broke taking a profit.’ Well, it is true that you don’t go broke taking a profit, but that assumes you will make a profit on everything you do. "

Fisher was the man. More people should re-read his '57 book, lots of it doesn't feel like it has aged a day. Cheers! 💚 🥃
