Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 332.6 EAN: 9780470074992 ISBN: 047007499X Label: Wiley Manufacturer: Wiley Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 480 Publication Date: December 11, 2006 Publisher: Wiley Studio: Wiley Editorial Review: Product Description: The Only Three Questions That Count is the first book to show you how to think about investing for yourself and develop innovative ways to understand and profit from the markets. The only way to consistently beat the markets is by knowing something others don’t know. This book will show you how to do just that by using three simple questions. You’ll see why CNBC’s Mad Money host and money manager James J. Cramer says, "I believe that reading his book may be the single best thing you could do this year to make yourself a better investor. In The Only Three Questions That Count, Ken Fisher challenges the conventional wisdoms of investing, overturns glib theories with hard facts, and blows up complacent beliefs about money and the markets. Ultimately, he says, the key to successful investing is daring to challenge yourself and whatever you believe to be true. Packed with more than 100 visuals, usable tools, and a glossary, The Only Three Questions That Count is an entertaining and educational experience in the markets unlike any other, giving you an opportunity to reap the huge rewards that only the markets can offer. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - So far so goodI haven't gotten all the way through the book yet. But so far so good. Questioning what we all "know" makes sense. And I am a believer in most data is already built into the stock price. So you have to determine what is true that everyone else does not know. Good so far. Rating: - Great Read, Good Advice from a Contrarian CurmudgeonKen Fisher is an interesting guy. But don't let me tell you about him - let him talk about himself. He does that a lot in this book.

This is not like any other investing book I've read. The chapter on oil is worth the price of the book alone, particularly now that everyone's so worried about oil. This was just one eye-opening shocker after another. If you want real advice on how to beat markets, get this book. If you want another fad diet book on some magic formula that doesn't really work, this isn't it. Also, its pretty darn funny in parts! That was another nice surprise. I found ...

Rating: - Get a healthy new perspective on the marketsFisher's book explodes a number of market myths that are taken as conventional wisdom by most investors, very much to their disadvantage. Fisher not only puts matters in perspective, he teaches you how to think about markets, how to identify opportunities, when to take risks, when to play safe, when to get in, when to get out, etc. I like the way he writes, stating general principles and backing them up with solid facts. I think it's a good book for new investors, because he takes the time to explain ... Read More |
