About Worth’s Greatest Stock Picks of All Time
Learn How to Pick the Right Stock at the Right Time
The momentum of the bull market spoiled us all—buying stock, any stock, was an almost surefire way to make a mint. Now, in a time of turbulent markets, stock picking has become a mixture of science and high art. With thousands of stocks to choose from, how can investors determine which ones will be future winners?
We all know there’s a time to buy and a time to sell every stock, but when is the right time? Timing stock buys so that you catch upward momentum is not luck, and Randy Jones shows you how to hone your buying and selling skills by striving to analyze the factors that made winners of the great stocks in the past. Why was AT&T a great stock pick in the 1920s, Polaroid a winner in the ’40s, Xerox in the ’50s, Teledyne in the ’70s, and Intel in the ’90s? The potential of these stocks was in plain sight—for those who knew how to read the signs. And perhaps as important is understanding the signs of decline and knowing when to sell.
Randy Jones analyzes twenty-five of the greatest stocks of all time, providing a framework for evaluating their strengths that can be used for future selections, including:
• Linking great management and bottom-line profits: Who were the faces behind AIG, GE, and IBM that led to profitability, and what was it about these people’s management skills that made their companies so great?
• Pathbreaking products: Polaroid, Xerox, and Amgen show that products that often seem to be overnight sensations were instead developed over many years, giving investors plenty of lead time to discover their potential as great investments.
• The innovative business model: Avon, McDonald’s, and Dell reveal that understanding how a company makes money helps you to understand its strengths and vulnerabilities.
• Investing during bad times: For some companies, such as Coca-Cola, Schlumberger, and Chrysler, nationwide economic downturns can actually be advantageous.
Worth’s Greatest Stock Picks of All Time has invaluable lessons for anyone in the market today.

Praise
“This book is brilliant. I wish I had thought of it myself.” —Jim Rogers, investor, and author of Investment Biker
“An Asian wise man used to ask the Deity in his prayers to spare him from living in an uninteresting era. But Jones won’t allow it. He makes the reader a copilot on a journey through the 1920s, the 1990s, and points in between, unfolding the sagas of twenty-five fascinating companies that were among the great stock picks of their day. Readily accessible and highly recommended.” —Dr. Michael J. Boskin, professor of economics and senior fellow, Hoover Institute, Stanford University, and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers
“Today a lot of people think they should murder their brokers, but my advice is don’t. You can stay out of jail and make a lot of money by learning from the greatest stocks of the last century and by heeding this advice for your future investments.” —Dominick Dunne, author of Justice
“This timely book proves that very few American corporations of any size, any quality, any management dominate for an indefinite period of time. Ultimately market events, consumer needs, and technological changes take over. The only certain thing in life is change. And Jones shows the investor how to recognize that change in order to recognize a portfolio gain. Read this and reap.” —Gerald Tsai, Jr., president, Tsai Management
“Read this book and let Randy Jones’s spellbinding business stories create a happy ending for your portfolio.”—Todd Buchholz, economist, managing director of Enso Capital Management and author of New Ideas from Dead Economists
