The share-buying secrets of two investment legends

Investment strategies: The share-buying secrets of two investment legends - at Moneyweek.co.uk - the best of the week's international financial media.

Investors can learn some valuable lessons from "two early masters of the game", say Pablo Galarza and Stephen Gandel in Money. The first is value investor Benjamin Graham, who developed a "sceptical, by-the-numbers approach" that should help stockpickers avoid nasty surprises. Second is Philip Fisher, the "prototype for growth investors". He managed to identify some of the fastest-growing corporations of his age, including Texas Instruments and Motorola, shares in which he held from 1955 until his death in March at the age of 96. He made "millions". Here are the key principles of the two legends and what they might be buying now.
