Product Description
by Robert M. Davis (Author)
During my 56-year career, I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about investing and about people who interact with and within the broad investment services market. The first 38 years of my life were all about positioning for the next 42 years. The foundational principles of my company were developed over my career through actual experience. I write this book to share some lessons learned along the entire route, some investment philosophy, and some experiences that one may find interesting, educational, or simply outrageous. I provide some observations and share some knowledge. During my years at R. M. Davis, Inc., I was both nurtured and guided by numerous principles and personal beliefs that I used to help shape the growth and culture of the firm, and to govern my personal conduct. You will become familiar with many of these, as they are reinforced in this book. I believe that most of these principles and beliefs are vital to the success of any organization.
