December 28, 2006: Recap and Ken Fisher

I received twenty-seven e-mails regarding my portfolio post yesterday. I forwarded a copy early to Random Roger (Roger has the best general investment blog out there, in my opinion).Then more e-mails and a couple of questions came in.

Each e-mail had a specific request, so I am responding today to make sure each inquiry is given my best effort.

Every investor should do recreational reading in the field from time to time. One book I just finished is really good:

THE ONLY THREE QUESTIONS THAT COUNT by Ken Fisher.

Mr. Fisher runs a very successful investment advisory service. He is also a Forbes contributor with his on column.He also goes on a lot of neat first class cruises via Forbes hawking his wares and advice.

Buy the book.Cramer pens the Forward. Even Charles Schwab manages to get in on the accolades.

I found the book to be a good intellectual read. Not every recreational investment book makes you think.
