About this book
Exposes the truth about common investing myths and misconceptions and shows you how the truth shall set you freeâto reap greater long-term and short-term gains
Everybody knows that a strong dollar equals a strong economy, bonds are safer than stocks, gold is a safe investment and that high PEs signal high risk...right? While such "common-sense" rules of thumb may work for a time as investment strategies, as New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Ken Fisher, vividly demonstrates in this wise, informative, wholly entertaining new book, they'll always let you down in the long run. Ken exposes some of the most commonâand deadlyâmyths investors swear by, and he demonstrates why the rules-of-thumb approach to investing may be robbing you of the kinds returns you hope for.

- Brings together the best "bunks" by Wall Street's Master Debunker in a fun, easy-to-digest, bite-size format
- More than just a list of myths, Fisher meticulously explains of why each commonly held belief or strategy is dead wrong and how damaging it can be to your financial health
- Armed with this book, investors can immediately identify major errors they may be committing and adjust their strategies for greater investing success
