Book description
Introducing the new Fisher Investment Series, comprised of engaging and
informative titles written by renowned money manager and bestselling
author Ken Fisher. This series offers essential insights into the worlds
of investing and finance.
Over the course of nearly two centuries, the innovations, mistakes, and
scandals of different market participants have played an important role
in shaping today's financial markets. Now, in 100 Minds That Made the Market
, Ken Fisher delivers cameo biographies of these pioneers of American
financial history. From Joe Kennedy's "sexcapades" to Jesse
Livermore's suicide, this book details the drama, the dirt, and the
financial principles of an amazingly inventive group of financial minds.
Fisher digs deep to uncover the careers, personal lives, and
contributions of these individuals, and leads you through the lessons
that can be learned from each one. Here you have 100 of the best
teachers -- some you already know, some you will feel you know, and some
you may not have previously discovered -- whose experiences will
undoubtedly enhance your understanding of the markets.
With a few pages dedicated to each person, 100 Minds That Made the Market
quickly captures the essence of the people and ideas that have
influenced the evolution of the financial industry. Ken Fisher
