The huge risk in seeking 'safety'

By Ken Fisher, Business Times Singapore, Sunday, November 3, 2024

GOT acrophobia? Fear of heights is common around all-time stock-market highs – such as now. With the Straits Times Index (STI) wobbling near record highs after summer’s stomach-turning volatility, many altitude-woozy investors seek “safety”. Enter sales brokers hawking poverty-producing products deemed “safe”. You know the approach, offering equity-like growth and capital preservation. Don’t be fooled. Despite seeming sensible, these schemes are as real as world peace or zero-calorie chendol. Let me explain.

Vraag: ‘Wat hebben klimaatverandering, besluiten van de ECB en de Amerikaanse Federal Reserve, de Amerikaanse staatsschuld, de strijd tegen monopolieposities van techreuzen en de ’crises’ omtrent de Europese vruchtbaarheidscijfers allemaal met elkaar gemeen?’

La obsesión con los bancos centrales está llegando demasiado lejos

By Ken Fisher, elEconomista, Tuesday, October 29, 2024

En todo el mundo, encontramos analistas empeñados en que el Banco Central Europeo (BCE) anuncie más y mayores recortes de tipos de interés para impulsar el crecimiento económico de la Unión Europea y revitalice la bolsa en España, Europa y el resto del mundo.

By Ken Fisher, Al Eqtisadiah, Friday, October 25, 2024

ما العامل المشترك بين تغير المناخ، وخفض أسعار الفائدة من جانب البنوك المركزية، وذروة الطلب على النفط، والبطالة في الولايات المتحدة، ومواجهة شركات التكنولوجيا الكبرى لقضايا الاحتكار، ومكانة الدولار كعملة احتياطية؟ جميعها لا تؤثر في الأسهم بشكل كبير رغم المخاوف المتعلقة بها.

주식 시장에 대해 '불가능한 환상'에 빠지지 마라

By Ken Fisher, Chosun Ilbo, Thursday, October 24, 2024

안전함을 추구하는가. 올해 코스피의 불안정성, 한국인들의 경제에 대한 우려, 미국 대선의 혼란, 한국 주식시장을 떠나는 개미 투자자를 볼 때 주식 투자 등을 통한 자산 증식과 안전 자산 투자를 통한 자산 보존을 동시에 추구하는 일은 매혹적으로 보인다. 하지만 주의해야 한다. 이는 속이 빈 호떡이나 세계 평화처럼 허상이며, 허구와 상술에 불과하다. 성공적 투자에는 합리적 목표 설정이 필수다. 간단히 말해서, 자산 증식과 자산 보존은 단기적으로 공존할 수 없다.

Don’t fall for the impossibly dreamy market myth of ‘capital preservation’

By Ken Fisher, The Globe and Mail, Thursday, October 17, 2024

Time to “lock in” 2024′s stock market gains? With the TSX hitting sporadic new highs – and this summer’s volatility – many investors seemingly have twinges of acrophobia and are seeking “safety.” Hence, strategies offering equity-like growth and capital preservation may seem increasingly alluring.

By Ken Fisher, The Telegraph, Thursday, October 17, 2024

How crazy can America’s presidential election be? After two abhorrent assassination attempts, wacky debates, incumbent President Joe Biden exiting the race, vacillating polls and more, investors from Liverpool to Little Rock fear there is crazier ahead.
