About the Author: John Winthrop Wright, was the founder and chairman of Wright Investors' Service, an investment management and advisory service company. The Company is still active as of the October 2012 posting of this book listing. Mr. Wright began in securities analysis by evaluating his own stock portfolio, and then started Wright Investors in 1961, developing it as an investment advisory service for Wall Street firms. He had a strong belief in conservative investments based on extensively researched companies. In a 1981 article in The New York Times, Mr. Wright was quoted as saying, "There's a lot of difference between gambling and investing," and characterized most stock traders as gamblers. "I have nothing against it," he added, "but that's not the business we're in." The company also publishes weekly economic reports for its clients -- mostly banks and brokerages -- discussing general trends and making specific stock recommendations. In 1985, Wright Investors founded the Worldscope Database, a subscriber service offering information on 13,000 companies, some of it dating to Mr. Wright's original 1960's research. Since 1990, Worldscope has been jointly owned and operated by Wright Investors and the Primark Corporation. The bulk of Mr. Wright's investment capital came from the sale of the Wright Power Saw and Tool Corporation, which he founded in 1947 and sold in 1954 to Thomas Industries of Louisville, Ky. After he sold the tool manufacturing company, he was a senior partner for four years in Andris Trubee, a financial consulting firm, and managed the bankruptcy of Rototiller Inc., from 1958 to 1959, before devoting himself to managing his own investment portfolio in 1960. Mr. Wright graduated from Amherst College in 1933, and worked for various banking corporations before World War II. -- end. EXTREMELY SCARCE, HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE.
