Summary
Ian Cassel had never had a normal job, never worked for a big firm, and, sometimes struggles to even screw in a lightbulb. But give him a list of a thousand small stocks, and he can pick out the next winners.
Stock Picker is part personal journey, part manifesto for financial independence, and part collection of lessons learned while chasing greatness in stock picking. You’ll discover why investing is less about beating others, and more about buying freedom for yourself.
