Product Description:
The renowned, iconoclastic head of the Acorn Fund shares his profit-maximizing, risk-minimizing investment advice in a book as irreverent as it is smart.
When USA Today asked a group of prominent professional portfolio managers whom they would choose to manage their personal wealth, the person most often cited was Ralph Wanger (Warren Buffett came in second). Hailed by both Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report as the "dean" of small-cap investing, Ralph Wanger explains the principles of investing in small, rapidly growing companies whose stocks will yield well-above-average returns.
Investors are like zebras in lion country: They must settle for meager pickings by sticking in the middle of the herd, or seek richer rewards at the outer edge, where hungry lions lurk. Wanger shows investors -- whether they are investing in mutual funds or buying stocks on their own -- how to achieve the right balance of safety and risk to survive and prosper in the investment jungle. Destined to become a classic in the field of investing, A Zebra in Lion Country is as entertaining as it is instructive.

Acorn Funds was bought by Liberty Funds, which was then bought by Columbia (BoA). I would give ... Read More

I have spent the last decade working in the investments industry and only wish I had discoverd Ralph Wanger's book sooner. He is right on target with is investment process and philosopy. In addition, his book is not some dry, droll, academic textbook, he is equally entertaining as he shares his words of wisdom!...

I bought this book when it first came out. It is an easy read, but the insights are timeless. I probably read five or six investment books a year. Of those, I re-read very few. This one I re-read every two or three years because it just reinforces the basics and it is enjoyable. Books like this are very helpful in understanding market psychology and volatility. I am a basic fundamental investor, but not understanding fear and greed will impact your successes and losses when dealing with Mr. Market. ... Read More

If you are looking for a book on how to pick small cap stocks, this book is not for you.
If you are looking for reasons why mutual funds are better off than picking stocks on your own, this book will offer you many such reasons.
Mr Wanger invests in what I would conclude as a fundamental-value style and indeed there are certain principles that a reader may be able to extract and apply to his own stock picking approach, eg investing in themes, buying value etc.
However, ... Read More

A must read if you plan on investing in this very competitive market. Mr. Wagner picks his brain for us for his knowledge of this special market.
