forty-five years, and has proven to be a consistent and valuable tool in building
successful stock portfolios.
This short tutorial does not attempt to provide an
in-depth review of the Stock Selection Guide, but an
introduction to a method of fundamental analysis that
can be used by any individual investor interested in
building a long-term portfolio of growth stocks.
