Durch die im Herbst 1911 in Angriff genommene Arbeit uber 1 den
"Wirkungsgrad von Dampfturbinenbeschauflungen" ) sah sich der
Verfasser veranlasst, gelegentlich der Erorterungen uber die reine
Uberdruckturbine und die Expansionsdusen, das Wesen der Ent stehung
von Energiestromungen in Mundungen und der Arbeitsuber tragung von
einer Stromung auf eine Maschine kritisch zu unter suchen. Das
fuhrte auf die einfachen Fragen, w i e entstehen - wegungsgrosse P
= G . . und mittlere Geschwindigkeit . . des Sekunden- U 2
arbeitswertes L = G . . . . einer Stromung und wie aus dieser wied-
g 2 um der Sekundenwert der mechanischen Arbeit L =Pu resp. ihre
Treibkraft P und ihre Geschwindigkeit u. Bei naherer Betrachtung
ergab sich, dass bei konsequenter Verfolgung der abstrakten
Vorgange die Berechnung mancher Formen der Energiewandlung mit
weniger Muhe gefunden werden kann, als auf dem Wege der empirischen
For schung, d. i. uber den Umweg der wissenschaftlichen
Untersuchung der mehr oder weniger untergeordneten
verlustbringenden N ebenerschei nungen. Die letztere Methode
kennzeichnet im allgemeinen die ge brauchliche theoretische
Behandlung von physikalisch-technischen Pro blemen, wobei das
energetische Pnnzip als ein Faktum in die Kalku lation eingefuhrt
wird, ohne nahere Untersuchung der Frage, wie die messbaren
Ausserungen der Energieubertragung, Kraft und Bewegung, im
Idealfall von einem Korper auf den anderen ubergeleitet werden."

The Duly Diligent Stock Investor is a practical, step-by-step
guide to investing in stocks as if you were buying a business that
you intend to own for a very long time. Long-term investing in fine
companies is not the only way to make money but it happens to be
the way very rich and famous investor Warren Buffett has made his
billions.
But how do you know if a company is worthy of your investment?
How do you know if becoming a part-owner will help you achieve your
financial goals? How do you know you're not putting your money into
a company headed for failure? Isn't Wall Street your enemy, just
waiting to pick your pocket of all your hard-earned savings? The
Duly Diligent Stock Investor gives you the answers and takes the
mystery out of investing in stocks.
Some books you buy to read. A book like this you buy to use.
Granted, there are hundreds of books on the market that address
every aspect of investing imaginable, many claiming to be the sure
way or the fast way to riches, but The Duly Diligent Stock Investor
is different. It's an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand book that
walks you through a process called due diligence, leading you to a
solid understanding of a company before you invest in it.
The author used this process during a 25-year career financing
private companies and has successfully refined it over 15 years of
personally investing in public companies. He wrote this book so
that if you have a $2.99 calculator and access to the internet you
can do exactly what he does before he buys stock in a company.
You may have been led to believe that only financial advisors
and mutual fund managers have the special skills necessary to
evaluate a business. You may have heard that it's just too hard for
an individual to make his or her own investment decisions. Are you
discouraged by those claims or do they challenge you to prove them
wrong? Yes, there's some work to being a Duly Diligent Stock
Investor, but it's not hard work. Certainly not as hard as
completing a New York Times crossword puzzle. By following the
steps outlined in this book, you will feel confident in your
ability to invest in some of America's finest companies, even if
you have never thought of yourself as sophisticated in financial
matters.
