Can a single page of a book change your investment life? We believe it can. Periodically, we highlight some of the Great Pages that have had a great impact on our investment philosophy. Today, we look at p. 194 from Martin Zweig’s “Winning on Wall Street”, in which Zweig first discusses stock-picking using a “rifle” approach (deeply analyzing a small number of companies), and then talks about the “shotgun” approach (screening thousands of stocks against pre-set criteria).
