Publisher's summary

In 100 to 1 in the Stock Market, Thomas Phelps discloses the secrets and strategies to increasing your wealth one hundredfold through buy-and-hold investing. Unlike the short-term trading trends that are popular today, Phelps's highly logical, yet radical approach focuses on identifying compounding machines in public markets, buying their stocks, and holding these investments long term for at least 10 years. In this indispensable audio guide, Phelps analyzes what made the big companies of his day so profitable for the diligent, long-term investor.

You will learn how to identify and invest in profitable business models without visible growth ceilings that will quickly increase your earnings. Worth its weight in gold (and then some), 100 to 1 in the Stock Market illuminates the way to the path of long-term wealth for you and your heirs.

With this classic, yet highly relevant approach, you will pick companies wisely and watch your investments soar! Thomas William Phelps (1902-1992) spent over 40 years in the investing world working as a private investor, columnist, analyst, and financial advisor. His illustrious investing career began just before the stock market crash in 1929 and lasted into the 1970s. In 1927, he began his career with The Wall Street Journal where he was a reporter, news editor, and chief. Beginning in 1936, he edited Barron's National Financial Weekly. From 1949 to 1960, he served as an assistant to the chairman and manager of the economics department at Socony Mobil Oil. Following this venture, he was a partner in the investment firm of Scudder, Stevens & Clark until his retirement in 1970.

Recipe for Stock Inbesting Success

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which showed the power of buying the right companies and holding on forever. Do that and you'll have a shot at turning 1 dollar into 100 dollars. Buy right and hold on.

Meh…

Buy “right” and hold for 30 years and you *might* be able to make 100:1.

I won’t tell you how to do it, the devil is in the details. No one can predict the future…

There, I saved you 7 hours of your live! You can thank me later.

Timeless wisdom.

Many timeless principles of investing. Difficult to relate to our current era with vastly different circumstances, but the basic principles hold good.

Investing Psychology hasn’t changed over the decades

Interesting history written in 1973 back to the 1920’s If you changed the names of the companies it could have written now.

Great book for knowledgeable long term investors.

This is not a get rich or easy investing book. It is also not about buying a lotto ticket that will make you 100x’s your money. It’s about a new way to see the market & the world of investing. Short sighted stock traders are truly wasting their time with this book. People without true vision & courage are also wasting their time. I rear another review here from an id**t saying this book will not work because we are bot in the Great Depression. He or she is dumb & missing the entire point of this book. If you could read this book & turn your bag investments into 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 baggers. That would bot be worth the few hours & $10 for the book ?
