Customer Reviews

Straightforward investing insights
Ken Fisher is one of the most famous market pundits and money managers in the United States, and one of the few to occupy a spot on the Forbes list of America's richest people. In this book, he debunks conventional wisdom and widely believed folklore about securities markets and the process of investing. He suggests a sort of investors' examination of conscience: They should routinely ask themselves three simple, straightforward questions to ensure that they are not falling into avoidable error: Which of my beliefs are false? What can I understand that others cannot understand? And, what cognitive illusions are fooling me now? He provides ample supporting research to buttress his assertions about the market and, more to the point, to topple the false wisdom that leads so many investors to failure. We find that Fisher is lucid, strongly opinionated, sometimes a bit of a crank (a long tangent on Gertrude Stein seems particularly out of place in this book) but, on the whole, well worth reading.

Insight into the World of Markets
This book provides a wonderful array of investment ideas that you simply will not have read before. Ken Fisher's 'Portfolio Strategy' column in Forbes is well known but this book provides an intellectual approach that is radical and thought-provoking. For anyone who runs their own money or is thinking of using a money manager it will provide an armoury for either self-analysis or interrogation that could stop them from making profound mistakes with their capital.
