Book Summary
The Zulu Principle: Making Extraordinary Profits from Ordinary Shares by Jim Slater is a classic investment guide that champions deep specialization in stock picking. Slater argues that individual investors can outperform professionals by becoming experts in a narrow sector—hence the "Zulu Principle," inspired by how focused study made his wife more knowledgeable than casual observers . Centered around a GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) philosophy, the book provides 11 specific criteria—such as PEG ratio thresholds, strong cash flows, low debt, and insider activity—to identify small-cap growth stocks with high upside potential. Through anecdotes and rigorous analysis, Slater equips readers with tools for when to buy and sell, managing portfolios, recognizing creative accounting, and evaluating cyclical and turnaround opportunities. Initially published in 1992 and updated in 2008, this enduring book remains a cornerstone for DIY investors aiming to surpass market averages.

About the Author –
Jim Slater (1929–2015) was a British chartered accountant, investor, and writer. Rising to prominence with his investment column in The Sunday Telegraph under the pen name "Capitalist," he co-founded the investment banking firm Slater Walker in 1964, growing it into a £200 million conglomerate before its collapse during the 1973–75 banking crisis. Undeterred, he rebuilt his fortune through smaller ventures and became a champion of small-company growth investing. Slater innovated the PEG ratio, co-created Company REFS statistical service, authored several investment books—including The Zulu Principle—and even wrote children’s fiction. Known for his clear, engaging writing and emphasis on analytical rigor, he influenced generations of private investors
