I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Only 3 Questions That Count

The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't by Ken Fisher


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ken Fisher teaches a scientific method of discovering what other people don't know. What they don't know is what they have been taught to believe are likely to be market myths which have no correlation to the reality of the market. This book was important to me because for the last several years I have been intent on learning what other people know that I don't.
I gave it 3 stars out of 5 because I'm not sure the structure of the book worked as an unabridged Audio book. I kept thinking, get to the point! For those who are listening where they can't write down the 3 questions here they are:
1. What can I know that other people don't? What do they believe that is actually false?
2. What can I fathom that other people find un-fathomable? Out-of-box thinking
3. What the heck is my brain doing to midlead or misguide me now? What can behavioral finance teach me to do a proper reality check?
A book may be more helpful to have to scan some parts and truly study the necessary details.
