Background of and More Information About Fisher
Investments Press
Ken Fisher and the Founding of His Woodside, CA Based Firm Fisher Investments
For almost 30 years, Ken Fisher of Fisher
Investments has been analyzing, studying and writing about investing.
With the early success of his 1984 New York Times bestseller
Super Stocks, Ken established himself as an author at the forefront
of modern finance theory. In Super Stocks, he identified the
Price-to-Sales Ratio as a valuation tool when looking at companies
in which to invest. Now this tool is a gold standard of finance,
used worldwide when analyzing stocks, and part of standard financial
curriculum.
The same forethought and innovative thinking is a core value
at Ken Fisher’s investment firm, Fisher Investments. The
company, started as a sole proprietorship in 1979 and later
incorporated in 1987, has been known for its capital markets
technology and advances in financial research and market analysis.
Among those advances, Fisher Investments has been credited with
identifying the small cap value style of equity (and continues
to be a leader in this style of equity management), and in the
early 1990s the firm was nationally recognized for developing
research on investment styles and cycles. In [the late 1990s
and still today, Ken Fisher and the research team at Fisher
Investments are making advancements in the new area of behavioral
finance.
In addition to Super Stocks, Ken went on to pen another three
additional books: 100 Minds That Made The Market, The Wall Street
Waltz, and The Only Three Questions that Count: Investing by
Knowing What Others Don’t, which went on to become another
New York Times bestseller. The Only Three Questions that Count
was published in 2006 by John Wiley & Sons, a leading publisher
of text books, cookbooks, and the famous For Dummies®, Cliff
Notes® and Frommers® series of books among others.
John Wiley & Sons
John Wiley & Sons was established
in New York City in 1807, starting with law texts and other
legal writings. In the 1800s, Wiley went on to publish many
distinguished books, such as Herman Melville’s Typee: A
Peep at Polynesian Life, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, Nathaniel
Hawthorne’s Mosses from an Old Manse, and European writers
such as Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Hans Christian Andersen
and Elizabeth Barrett Browning to name a few.
Fisher Investments Press
When Ken Fisher and Wiley collaborated
on the publication of The Only Three Questions that Count, the
reception in the marketplace was overwhelmingly positive, and
the ideas for additional investing books began flowing. It was
then determined to be enough interest and plenty of great ideas
for future publications, so Fisher and Wiley formed Fisher Investments
Press, a new investing-focused publishing imprint geared for
a broad range of investors.
The first title from this partnership is The Ten Roads to Riches:
The Ways the Wealthy Got There and How You Can Too! (October
2008). In this book, Ken Fisher identifies ten proven paths
to get rich, and maps out ways virtually anyone can follow in
their footsteps. The ten key roads Ken explores are the following:
founding a successful company; become a CEO of a successful
company; join up with a successful visionary; become famous
and leverage the celebrity; marry very well; legally take it
from someone else; earn it from other people’s money; invent
a new, endless revenue stream; invest well in real estate; save
and invest well.
Fisher Investments Press looks forward to publishing many new
titles in the coming months and years, including Own The World:
How Smart Investors Create Global Portfolios scheduled for release
in 2009. Fisher Investments and John Wiley & Sons look forward
to working together to bring the general investment public new
and exciting reading in the years to come.
