Hi,

Just got some ad email from the motley fools about the book The Only Three Questions that Count by Ken Fisher and I wonder if anyone in our community has read it and would recommend reading it? It seems to have good reviews on amazon.  Thanks!

Dave,

Mark Robertson's website ... manifestinvesting.com had a book discussion some time ago.  They've held it in high regard.

Thanks for the reference Bakul.

oh, the rest of the title of the book is "Invest by Knowing What Others Don't".  a very interesting discussion on the merits of that concept, including comments from the author.  also discussed are the value of p/e's, the use of other metrics in analysis (p/s, e/y, p/b etc), and benchmarking.  and i only read page 1/3 so far, worth the price of a free trial to just about anyone interested in investing imo, and then some!  here's a link to the forum discussion, you must be a regsitered user to access this content (register if not already, log in, then click this link):

Yes, I am a registered user on Mark's website.  I've got some live/public portfolios on his website: (1) http://www.manifestinvesting.com/dashboard/2041 (2) http://www.manifestinvesting.com/dashboard/1733 (3) http://www.manifestinvesting.com/dashboard/7965

I usually discuss any acitivities in these portfolios on Compuserve.

It took me three weeks to get through the book, The Only Three Questions That Count by Kenneth Fisher. I recommended it to several investor friends, some who felt that the author was brilliant and some who felt that Ken Fisher's arrogance was offputting. I like to be challenged to think outside the box. The concepts presented by Fisher are better understood by the experienced investor rather than the novice investor.
