How to gain an edge in investing by defying conventional wisdom

By Ken Fisher, The National, Tuesday, July 1, 2025

High price-to-earnings ratios. Seasonal return adages. Tax rises. A weak (or strong) dollar. What do they have in common? Conventional wisdom claims all are bad for stocks. Most investors accept that unquestioned. Don't. Things "everyone knows" are very often provably wrong. Getting that right gives you an edge. It isn't hard to do. Never presume common wisdom about what is good or bad for capital markets is correct. See it as a theory to test like a scientist should. Here is your "laboratory" for doing just that. Little we see is truly unprecedented. So, you can easily test most basic claims against historical data. Many prove false.

"אמריקה קודם" הפילה את ארה"ב 35 מקומות בדירוג שוק המניות

By Ken Fisher, Calcalist, Sunday, June 29, 2025

בטור שפרסמתי באפריל טענתי שתוכנית המכסים של נשיא ארה"ב דונלד טראמפ לא היוותה את הטריגר לשוק הדובי שהתחולל לאחר מכן. אבל זה לא אומר שהמכסים הם טובים, והחדשות שזורמות מאז רק מאריכות, ולעתים מגבירות, את אי־הוודאות הכוללת. למעשה, גם פסיקת בית המשפט בארה"ב מסוף מאי שדחתה את רוב המכסים של טראמפ, והביאה לעצירתם הזמנית, היא עוד נדבך בחוסר היציבות הכולל.

By Ken Fisher, Business Times Singapore, Sunday, June 29, 2025

HAVE you ever noticed your ability to tune out background noise? So much, you don’t even hear when it stops? Investors do this now with a key global economic indicator: the “yield curve” … which is silently re-steepening. You can profit.

دحض الحكمة السوقية السائدة وكيفية تحليل الأسواق

By Ken Fisher, Al Eqtisadiah, Friday, June 27, 2025

نسب السعر إلى الربح المرتفعة، وزيادة الضرائب، والحروب الإقليمية، والعملات الضعيفة (أو القوية)، ما القاسم المشترك بينها؟ حكمة السوق التقليدية تُجمع على أنها جميعًا عوامل سلبية للأسهم. يتقبل معظم المستثمرين ذلك دون تساؤل، لكن لا داعِي للقلق. أشياء "يعرفها الجميع" غالبًا ما تكون خطأ بكل وضوح، وإدراك ذلك يمنحك ميزة تنافسية، الأمر ليس صعبًا. لا تفترض أبدًا أن الحكمة الشائعة عما هو جيد أو سيئ للأسواق صحيحة. عاملها كنظرية تحتاج إلى اختبار، تمامًا كما يفعل العالم، وهذا "مختبر" بسيط وسهل لمساعدتك في ذلك:

Cómo el 'America First' juega en contra de Wall Street

By Ken Fisher, elEconomista, Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Desde que el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump anunció su ilógica batería de aranceles el 2 de abril, el rápido ritmo al que se suceden las noticias sigue prolongando la ya elevada incertidumbre. La sentencia judicial de finales de mayo, que anuló la mayoría de esos aranceles, y su posterior suspensión, pendiente de apelación, generan aún más perplejidad.

La discreta curva que impulsa la Bolsa de México

By Ken Fisher, El Financiero, Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Las oscilaciones más pronunciadas de los mercados son consecuencia de factores imprevistos. Al menos, así ha sido siempre en los cincuenta años que llevo gestionando patrimonios. Ahora, le ha llegado el turno a una gran fuerza alcista que ha pasado desapercibida: la recuperación de la pendiente positiva de la curva de tipos.

The big problem with ‘cash cushions’ and ‘dry powder’ in your investing portfolio

By Ken Fisher, New York Post, Monday, June 23, 2025

Got a comfy “cash cushion”? Is your portfolio packed with plenty of “dry powder”? When it comes to investing, I can only wish feeling safe and secure was as simple as that. Cash feels safe – it’s got no short-term volatility. That balance in your savings account never goes down unless you make a withdrawal – right? The seeming certitude of cold, hard cash leads many investors to never question a habit of hoarding it.

全球孳息曲線悄然變陡屬牛市推手

By Ken Fisher, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Saturday, June 21, 2025

市場最大的波動往往源於未被察覺的因素,在筆者長達50多年的資金管理生涯中,這基本真理始終不變。目前,一股龐大但潛伏的牛市推手正在形成:全球孳息曲線悄悄地再次變陡。 被譽為預測指標工具 孳息曲線被視為預測指標,它以3個月至10年(或更長期)國債孳息率為基準繪製,當長期利率高於短期利率時,曲線向右上陡峭 ...
