In Markets Never Forget, 4-time New York Times bestselling author Ken Fisher layouts out his case for why we should all mind the past and scrutinize it, but know “this time it isn’t different.” From politics to recessions, by reviewing and studying history, patterns are more easily identified, and can be used as an example for future investing decisions.
As Ken Fisher explains, “A great many things we think are new and different, we’ve had around for a long time.” And, “One concern some may have about this book is: Can the past predict the future? No, the past never predicts the future. But what the past does, in studying it, is allow us to see the impact of things in prior periods.”
