In his groundbreaking bestseller, The Only Three Questions That Count, investment expert and longtime Forbes columnist Ken Fisher taught investors to question traditional investing wisdom, interrogate long-held market beliefs and, most importantly, to challenge themselves. And now, in The Only Three Questions That Still Count, he's back demonstrating that the path to better investment results remains knowing what others don't.

Most investors know the only way to consistently achieve investing success is by knowing things that others don't. Yet many investors believe they don't or can't know what others don't—so they continue making market bets based on "conventional wisdom." In the updated edition of The Only Three Questions That Count, Fisher debunks the conventional market myths that many investment decisions are based upon. And he reveals a methodology that allows investors to discover unknown or underappreciated information—information that can form the basis of a market bet.

And the methodology is as easy as asking three questions. The first helps you see things as they really are. The second question helps you see things other investors often miss. And the third will help you keep your unruly brain in line. Investing is a non-stop query session—this book hands you tools that should serve you the rest of your investing career.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition features new content and updated graphs and data. Packed with images, practical advice and anecdotes that show Fisher's ideas in action, the book helps you question how you think about the market, its component parts and even individual stocks. Taken together, Fisher's three questions can help you make better investment decisions by identifying what you—and you alone—can know and how you can profit from it.

The key to better investment returns is daring to challenge yourself and what you believe to be true, and in The Only Three Questions That Still Count, Ken Fisher explains how, in his own inimitable style—giving you the tools you need to outthink the market.
