The Little Book of Market Myths: How to Profit by Avoiding the Investing Mistakes Everyone Else Makes Hardcover - 2013 - 1st Edition

by Kenneth L. Fisher

Bestselling author Fisher exposes some of the most common--and deadly--myths investors swear by, and he demonstrates why the rules-of-thumb approach to investing may be robbing people of the kinds returns they hope for.


From the rear cover

"By demolishing so many wealth-destroying myths, Ken Fisher has performed a priceless service for investors at a time when they need all the help they can get."
--Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, Forbes Media

Learn the truth about common investing myths and the truth shall set you free

Have you ever asked if what you believe to be true actually is? If not, why not? A huge amount of what most investors believe is actually wholly or partially untrue--utter market myth leading to, at times, costly errors.

But investors don't follow myths because they know they're wrong. They follow myths because they seem like smart, common sense, "everyone knows" market wisdom. How can you tell the difference between myth and reality?

By questioning. And in The Little Book of Market Myths, CEO and bestselling author Ken Fisher questions everything. From the belief that bonds are always safer than stocks to the idea that America's big debt must spell economic doom. He stamps out rules of thumb and overturns decades of widely accepted but ultimately misguided market wisdom.

In doing so, he shows readers how they, too, can question everything and see the world more clearly. And by seeing the world more clearly, they can begin seeing better investing results.

Read The Little Book of Market Myths yourself and start investing based on reality, not "everyone knows" mythology.
