Skill Purpose

Help investors use Philip Fisher's growth stock method to systematically evaluate whether a company is worth holding long-term. Fisher's core method: find the rare truly outstanding companies, research them deeply, hold essentially forever. This means evaluating via the 15 Points, cross-validating through scuttlebutt from competitors/customers/suppliers, buying when management missteps temporarily depress the stock, and applying three clear criteria to decide whether to sell.

This is not a trading tool or valuation calculator. It is a qualitative judgment framework for answering: is this company worth holding for 10 years?
