El objetivo de todo inversor es encontrar empresas solventes y poder comprar sus acciones a un precio razonable. Por supuesto, esto resulta más difícil de lo que cabría pensar. Este libro, basado en una amplia experiencia inversora y en una filosofía clara y metódica, es la mejor introducción al conocimiento necesario para crear valor. Haciendo caso omiso de quienes se obsesionan con los movimientos de precios a corto plazo y consideran la bolsa como una especie de casino donde apostar, Pat Dorsey aboga por el trabajo serio y documentado. Un trabajo que resume en cinco reglas: como inversor tienes que hacer los deberes; debes encontrar empresas con una sólida ventaja competitiva; necesitas, por tu propio bien, crearte un margen de seguridad; y debes apostar por el largo plazo y aprender a detectar cuándo vender. La inversión tiene muchas zonas grises. No debes fiarte de quien te diga que hay que invertir en tal o cual compañía. Debes ser capaz de decidir por ti mismo y, para eso, tienes que investigar a fondo las acciones. Si no conoces en detalle a una empresa, no compres. Este libro, escrito por uno de los grandes inversores de todos los tiempos, te enseñará lo que necesitas saber para llevar a cabo un análisis profundo y útil del mercado y de las empresas que debes comprar o vender.

The South Platte River begins high atop the frozen Continental Divide, home to a chain of rugged 13,000-foot, snow-capped peaks. This region comprises lush valleys, meandering meadow streams, and rose-colored, boulder-filled canyons. For generations this area has been a recreation mecca and a fly fisher’s paradise in its purest form. Out of all the trout fisheries in America that are within an hour’s drive of a major metropolitan area, the South Platte River is clearly one of the best. It has become a river shrine to thousands of anglers on an annual basis and for good reason. Throughout the river’s entirety, the South Platte creates a series of reservoirs (Antero, Spinney, Eleven Mile, Cheesman, Strontia Springs, and Chatfield) that provide major metropolitan water storage systems for Denver Water and the City of Aurora. The by-products of these storage facilities are world-class tailwaters that provide anglers with year-round fishing opportunities. Against all odds, the South Platte River remains a world-class trout fishery abundant with some of the most finicky and challenging trout in the world. There’s a common belief among South Platte regulars—if you can catch trout on the South Platte; you can catch trout anywhere in the world. * Completely new maps and updated river, access, and fishing information * Regional experts like Landon Mayer, Greg Blessing, Jeremy Hyatt, Chris Wells, Richard Pilatzke and John Perizzolo, Rick Mikesell and many more, share insider information * New line up of cutting-edge fly patterns * Additional chapters on stillwaters and the Denver Metro Area

Dieser praktische Leitfaden macht Anleger mit dem Economic Moat Konzept vertraut, der "Zauberformel" des Morningstar, mit der sich erstklassige Investmentchancen aufspüren lassen. Das Konzept ist keineswegs neu: Es wurde zunächst durch Benjamin Graham und Warren Buffett populär, wurde dann aber lange vernachlässigt. "The Little Book that Builds Wealth" erklärt ganz genau, wie man den Economic Moat, d.h. die Wettbewerbsbarriere bzw. den Wettbewerbsvorteil (wie z.B. geringe Produktionskosten, ausgebautes Vertriebsnetz, gutes Markenimage etc.) ermittelt, durch den sich ein Unternehmen deutlich von Konkurrenzunternehmen abgrenzt. Dabei geht es aber weder um reines Value Investing, noch um reines Growth Investing, sondern vielmehr darum, erstklassige Nischen-Wachstumswerte zu einem attraktiven Kurs zu kaufen. Das Buch demonstriert anschaulich Schritt für Schritt, was einen Economic Moat ausmacht, wie man ihn ermittelt, wie man verschiedene Moats gegeneinander abwägt, und wie man auf der Basis dieser Daten am besten eine Investmententscheidung trifft. Mit begleitender Website. Sie wird vom Morningstar betrieben und enthält eine Reihe von Tools und Features, mit deren Hilfe der Leser das Gelernte in der Praxis testen kann. Autor Pat Dorsey ist ein renommierter Finanzexperte. Er ist Chef der Morningstar Equity Research und Kolumnist bei Morningstar.com. Ein neuer Band aus der beliebten ''Little Book''-Reihe.
