- Nov 07, 2020
Anyone can see how if a feared tax hike doesn't happen, that's a positive factor. But even if tax hikes happen as feared, vast history tells me it doesn't have to have the big bad impact folks fear. And fear of a false factor is always bullish.

- Differing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All equity categories, correctly calculated, create near-identical lifelong returns. They just get there via wildly differing paths.
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Back in the '60s and '70s, data were scarce, and while analysts knew that companies with fat gross margins lagged those with thin gross margins early in bull markets - and overachieved in the later phases - they couldn't do much about it.
- Image
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Long before folks fretted the demise of 'quantitative easing,' I fretted its existence. It proved the reverse of its image, an antistimulus, and we've done okay not because of it, but despite it.

- Nov 07, 2020
What is the most common investor mistake? Trading - getting in and getting out at all the wrong times, for all the wrong reasons.
- Only

- Nov 07, 2020
The average mutual fund holding period for equity or fixed income is only about three years. It's too short.
- Investment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Buy into good, well-researched companies and then wait. Let's call it a sit-on-your-hands investment strategy.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hundreds of investors ask me questions each year about the dilemmas they confront. Their worst problem? Uncertainty. They are traumatized and become emotional or confused to the state of inaction. Even worse, they try to solve a short-term problem in a way that hurts them financially in the long run.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me 'The Big Easy' is shorthand for owning big stocks that are easy for wary investors to buy into. These stocks tend to outperform during the back half of bull markets.
- Fade
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Indeed, bull markets are fueled by successive waves of prior skeptics finally capitulating as their fears fade. Eventually, fear turns to euphoria, and that's the stuff of bubbles.

- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father, Philip Fisher, was the toughest guy I ever knew. An example: He had terrible teeth, yet he got his fillings done without ever using a painkiller. Now, that's tough!
- Disaster
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Buying only what you know can end in disaster. Just think about Enron's employees and business partners, the 'locals' who bought lots of its stock because they thought they were in the know.
- China
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
China frequently confounds stock market prognosticators because it has a penchant for straying markedly from other broad global indexes year-by-year over the decades - even from emerging markets. It's hit or miss.
- Market

- Nov 07, 2020
China's stock market is inextricably tied to politics.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're 35, 45, or even 55 - you have a very long time horizon - 40 years or vastly more. That is you, and/or your spouse, are likely to live about that long, and you'll be investing the whole way.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm sometimes accused of being hostile to mutual funds. That's not fair, really. There is a place for them. Still, I am hostile to one thing, which is trying to use funds to time your way in and out of the market. That's a recipe for very bad results.
- Dirty

- Nov 07, 2020
Plenty of funds have fine long-term returns despite being tax-inefficient and generally costly. But a dirty secret is this: Average, no-load fund investors do much worse than the funds - or the market.
