I thought the book was useful, but I struggled with the reader's voice. This book took me much longer than I anticipated because I had gotten lost in the monotone voice. I had to rewind and review parts multiple times to get it. I ultimately used a summary to help me get the jist of the book, which helped me the most.

Some useful ideas, some less so
This book provides some interesting ideas on how to manage your investments, but as another reviewer has already stated, some of the strategies are not easy for the individual investor to employ. I don't think I'll be able to meet the bankers of the companies I am investing in anytime soon!
So, I would not put this at the top of my list of investing books to recommend, but do not completely pan it either. The author does espouse a long term investment strategy and offers what appears to be some sound advice for choosing investments. One particular bit of advice was a set of 14 points, some of which can be used as a screen to look for potential investments.
If you have not read (or listened to) "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, that is a work I highly recommend.

a must read for a long term investor
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The author identifies 15 characteristics of good companies for investment in companies that can pay off big over 25 years. Identification of good management is a key theme.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
If a company is to grow a few hundred percent or more, much more, over 25 years, does it really matter that much if you pay an extra 50 cents per share now? That, let us say 1.5% higher price on a good company that will continue to grow could cost a few hundred percent. Good companies rarely fall to bargain prices.
Any additional comments?
This book is one of Warren Buffet's favorites, and when it comes to the recommendation within to perform "Skuttlebutt", Warren certainly does. It is a good companion to The Intelligent Investor, another classic worth re-reading.

Informative and organized; listen on fast
Would you listen to Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits again? Why?
Yes... it is easier to get it all if you listen to a book like this more than once. The narrator's voice lacked much energy, and that made it hard to keep focused and listen. I undoubtedly missed several things and am listening to it again. I found that if you set the setting to 'fast' on your player, it makes it a bit easier to pay attention.
What did you like best about this story?
Early in the book, Mr. Fisher lays out his 15 principles. After that, he can continue to refer back to them throughout the text as needed.
What aspect of George Guidall’s performance would you have changed?
Increase the energy (significantly). The narrator seemed very bored with the material, and it showed.
Any additional comments?
I would rate this an high beginner/low intermediate for investors. Some of the information is relatively outdated (individual investors rarely go talk to management, and information is much easier to come by via the Internet and Regulation FD than finding employees or suppliers to visit with, for example), but the principles are still quite good.

Very well structured guideline for stock picking
Very well structured guideline for stock picking. The books illustrates Fisher’s 15 points a stock should present to be considered for purchase. Then, it discusses elements an investor should avoid while assessing opportunities, and the timing he/she should favour to get into an investment.
I’m wondering how the books can still be applied in more developed markets, but nevertheless it is definitely worth your time. 5 starts.
