Similar to scuttlebutt method by Phil Fisher. This can also be called reverse engineering or second level thinking. Eventually, it trains your mind to always keep asking this question:"Does this product have a public company?" Or " How is this going to show up in the results?"

This was the first book that I read on investing. Great classic! The article is inspired by him.
