Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Chill winds frequently blow through the financial press. If it's not the Y2K thing, it's the simple fact that stocks have been growing so fast for so long that there just has to be a disaster on the horizon. But you'll find no gloom and doom in Getting Rich with Growth Stocks. Kirk Kazanjian retained five top investors to share their secrets and their outlook on the future, and the result is a book that's refreshing to read and easy to absorb. It doesn't mean that there isn't a hurricane brewing somewhere offshore; it just means that after the hurricane has passed through, the warm breezes will return.
The five investors--Donald Yacktman, Robert Stovall, Shelby Davis, Roy Papp, and Elizabeth Bramwell--share a remarkably consistent view of the future: If an investor consistently picks stocks that meet certain criteria (global sales, a high probability of continued growth, low price/earnings ratio relative to the rest of the market), he or she will get very rich.
Likewise, they share a disdain for international stocks (it's cheaper to buy American stocks that do business overseas), trend-of-the-moment plays (what goes up like a skyrocket can and usually does fall like a rock), and market timing (be in the market all the time, they counsel).
Kazanjian organizes their investment advice into a dozen principles, and intersperses profiles of each investor with their respective picks for the "10 growth stocks for the 21st century." Those generally include the usual suspects--Microsoft, GE, Intel, Merck--and are hardly the point of the book. By the time you're done reading this, you should be ready to pick your own high-ceiling stocks, sit back, and imagine those ocean breezes. --Lou Schuler

Common Sense Approach to Investing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Growing Rich With Growth Stocks: Wall Street's Top Money Managers Reveal the 12 Rules for Investment Success (Hardcover)
While this book might not be flashy enough for today's dot.com crowd, which thinks it can make a fortune through rapid day trading, I found it to be excellent reading for those who want to build a solid, long-term stock portfolio. My guess is if you follow the advice in this book, you'll make a ton more money than you will trying to play the day trading game. What's more, I found the investor biographies to be very interesting reading. It was a nice break from other investment books which seem to overlooad readers with a bunch of numbers and jargon. I especially recommend this book to readers who are rather new to investing. It is a fun read that's easy to understand.

Growing Rich With Growth Stocks,
This review is from: Growing Rich with Growth Stocks: Wall Street's Top Money Managers Reveal the 12 Rules for Investment Success (Paperback)
Don't buy the book for an entertaining read, unless you just enjoy reading about the personal home life and/or chidhood of famous investors. I found that part irrelevent and very boring.The book is well worth its price, however, for the top ten growth stock picks by each of the five featured investors. That's really the only information of value in the book, but they probably couldn't sell very many copies of a 5-page book, so you're stuck with the filler.

This review is from: Growing Rich With Growth Stocks: Wall Street's Top Money Managers Reveal the 12 Rules for Investment Success (Hardcover)
this book is a repeat of the basic tenets of investing. It is very shallow and repetitive. The experts' (Davis,Bramwell,Papp,Yacktman,Stovall) views have been known for years and have been expressed by them in the mediaThe biographies of each of the experts, which absorbs more than 30 pages is unnecessary and boring Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the content,all old hat and redundant.
