The Only Three Questions That Count
, was released in Dec 2006.

Ken Fisher's theoretical work in the early 1970s yielded a tool known as the Price to Sales Ratio, now a core element of modern
financial curriculum and Fisher Investments client education series. In the 1980s, he and Fisher Investments' research team helped create a school of equity style management called
domestic small cap value equity, now a major category for institutional and retail investors.
The firm has since branched its research and management expertise into a wide array of style-based investment strategies. Ken Fisher's recent
research focuses on the emerging field of behavioral finance, working with Dr. Meir Statman of Santa Clara University. Frequently published
in professional and scholarly journals, their piece titled "Cognitive Biases in Market Forecasts," which appeared in the Fall 2000 issue
