Ken Fisher
Ken Fisher is a self-made billionaire and ranks among the world’s wealthiest individuals. He is currently ranked #281 on the 2008 Forbes 400 list of richest Americans.
He is perhaps best known for his Forbes "Portfolio Strategy" column, where a 24-year tenure of high profile market calls makes him the fourth longest-running columnist in the magazine’s history. Since the mid-1990s, his Forbes market forecasts have been among the most accurate as measured by third-party CXO Advisory Group*, the research firm whose "Guru Grades" rates the accuracy of publicly available expert forecasts on the stock market. Ken is currently ranked the third most accurate over recent years.
He has written four major finance books, including the New York Times bestseller, 2006's The Only Three Questions That Count. In 1984, his Super Stocks was that year's bestselling stock market book. Others include 1987's The Wall Street Waltz, just re-released by John Wiley & Sons; and 1993's 100 Minds That Made the Market.
Ken Fisher has been published, interviewed and/or been written about in numerous major American, British, and German finance and business periodicals. He writes a weekly column for Handelsblatt, Germany's leading daily. His early 1970s theoretical work pioneered a tool known as the Price-to-Sales ratio, now a core part of financial curriculum. A prize-winning researcher, Ken's credits span a multitude of professional and scholarly journals-in both traditional and behavioral finance.
