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.
