Synopsis
Praise for Ken Fisher These endorsements are not in reference to this book, but otherbooks by Mr. Fisher as well as praise for Mr. Fisher himself. "Ken Fisher has produced the first worthwhilenew investment ideas Ive seen in years." James W. Michaels , Editor, Forbes, 1957 1999; Loeb Lifetime Achievement Award recipient; known as the "dean" of American business journalism; and Kens mentor and first editor at Forbes (from the 1984 endorsement of Ken Fishers first book, Super Stocks) "The reason for Kens longevity is not only hisexcellent record of individual stock recommendations but alsohis insightful general observations and his creation ofprinciples for investors to follow." Steve Forbes , Editor-in-chief, Forbes, President and CEO, Forbes Inc. (from "King Fisher," Forbes, August 3, 2009, commemorating Kens 25th year with Forbes) "Much of Fishers success is due to his career-longpractice of challenging the conventional wisdom of investing." Mary Scott , Research magazine (from "Befriending Your Brain," Research magazine, February 2007), Ken Fisher is founder and CEO of Fisher Investments, an independent money management firm managing over $35 billion (as of Dec. 31/09) for individuals and institutions. And, Fisher has written the monthly Portfolio Strategy column for Forbes magazine for the last twenty-five years--since 1984--making him, so far, the fourth longest-running columnist in the magazine's history. During this time, he's seen everything from the stock market crash of 1987 and the great bull markets of the 1980s and 1990s to the Tech bubble of 2000 and the global market meltdown of 2008. Now, with The Making of a Market Guru, you'll gain an insightful look at Fisher's prolific career over the years and discover the high-profile market calls he's made so far in these monthly columns. At times engaging and timely, at others revealing and informative, this book is a sweeping look at a recent and eventful slice of stock market history. You'll read about what's changed, but you'll be more amazed by what hasn't. And you'll see investing wisdom that still applies, now and for the foreseeable future, from a quarter-century of Fisher's concise and witty market wisdom. Preceding Fisher's columns for each year are a few pages of commentary--putting them in historic context, pointing out areas that are still salient, and others where Fisher's perspective has changed over the years--highlighting key points that deserve extra attention. Chapter by chapter, this book offers practical investment advice from a leading market voice, while: Looking at Fisher's market analysis over the years and providing an industry insider's view of major, and not-so-major, market events Examining how Fisher called three of the last four bear markets Showing that what many commonly think impacts markets doesn't--and some very surprising things that do impact markets that few are aware of. And much more The more things change, the more they stay the same--at least when it comes to investing. And seeing history through the eyes of a market guru can help improve your overall investment endeavors today. If you take the time to read this unique, historic compilation, you'll be taking your first steps to understanding how to become your own market guru., Ken Fisher is founder and CEO of Fisher Investments, an independent money management firm managing over $35 billion (as of Dec. 31/09) for individuals and institutions.

    Excellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!

    Purchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
