« 《巴菲特勝券在握的12個原則》（The Warren Buffett Way）作者羅伯特‧海格斯壯和《超值投資》（Deep Value）作者杜白‧卡萊爾盛情推薦。

投資者挑選優質股票，同樣，一家上市企業也極需吸引優質股東，這樣才能取得雙贏優勢。

任何人都能購買上市公司股票，但不是所有股東都專注於公司的長遠成功。在這個越漸分散的金融世界中，股東對其所投資的公司的態度，從投資期限到信念都有很大的差異。面對指數型投資者、短線操作者和維權投資者，企業更加需要確保股東都能忠於公司使命。現今企業需要的是「優質股東」，也就是巴菲特所說「大量買進並長期持有」的股東。

Lawrence A. Cunningham提供一套專家指南，介紹吸引並留住優質股東的各種好處。他指出公司股東當中若以長期持有的忠誠股東為主，能為公司和經營階層帶來許多相對優勢和競爭優勢，包括有更長的期程來執行企業策略，以及有齊心度過難關的忠實團隊。作者鑽研多個企業實務作法和政策，包括合理的資本配置、長期績效指標和股東權益導向作法，證實這些能夠塑造公司的股東基礎，吸引忠誠的股票持有人。

在書中，作者著眼企業和股東權益，介紹哪些方式可以吸引優質股東投資特定企業，以及擁有這些股東對公司有何意義。這是一本投資人、企業主管和想要吸引優質股東的經營階層必讀指南。

Lawrence A. Cunningham是喬治華盛頓大學（George Washington University）亨利聖喬治塔克三世的法學研究教授（Henry St. George Tucker III Research Professor of Law），撰有許多企業治理和投資書籍，包括《少了巴菲特，波克夏行不行？：史上最大企業的未來挑戰》（Berkshire Beyond Buffett）。

This book asks readers to reflect on important questions: What is a quality shareholder, and are you acting as one in the stock market? By following Cunningham’s prescriptions, companies can attract such investors and improve economic returns, and individuals have a roadmap to become quality shareholders and improve their investment results. This is a worthy goal, one that should be broadly shared. -- Robert G. Hagstrom, author of The Warren Buffett Way

Cunningham has written a highly engaging, eminently readable book on an important but as-yet-unheralded shareholder cohort, the quality shareholders. Quality shareholders―engaged, long-term investors who can provide management with a sounding board and constructive criticism―may be the solution to rising transience and short-termism pervading markets. Cunningham describes how managers who run their companies to attract quality shareholders and investors who strive to exhibit those qualities contribute to the common good. -- Tobias Carlisle, author of Deep Value and The Acquirer's Multiple

Quality Shareholders highlights the close correlation between patient long-term investors and companies focusing on long-term strategies and profits. Its numerous examples of successfully run corporations with such dedicated shareholders will be of interest to individual and institutional investors alike. -- David Kass, University of Maryland, writer of the Warren Buffett Blog
