  • Ken Fisher and the Price to Research Ratio

    Kenneth Fisher - Ken Fisher And The Price To Research Ratio Any investor that has followed the techniques of Kenneth Fisher, writer at Forbes magazine for over 25 years and investing guru, has discovered that Fisher’s methodology is ever being refined. Aside from his P/S ratio introduced in his book, “Super Stocks,” Fisher also introduced investors to a "price to research ratio." You will still discover Fisher occasionally talking about the P/S ratio, but the price to research ratio appears to have disappeared from the radar screen.

    It is this ratio that I would like to revisit.

  • Kenneth Fisher Forbes Article: Give 'Em The Finger

    Ken Fisher is the CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Fisher Investments. He has written a column for Forbes for 27 years. This is his article from January 3: Buy good stocks that have been impaled by the euro-zone-fueled hysteria of 2011.

    I’m recently back from three weeks traveling in Europe. The trip has given me better perspective on the market’s current obsession—the troubled euro zone. To put it bluntly, I say, give ’em the finger—the Italian Finger, that is.  


  • Top Dividend Stocks from Kenneth Fisher

    Ken Fisher is CEO and chief investment officer of Fisher Investments. Also, he has been contributing to the “Portfolio Strategy” column at Forbes. Ken is a prestigious investor thanks to his numerous, accurate market calls, often in direct opposition to Wall Street's expectations. Ken has also written three major finance books, including the 1984 Dow Jones best seller, "Super Stocks."

    Fisher Investments bases its strategy based on the idea that supply and demand of securities is determined by their prices. In addition, the management team believes that the information has already been estimated. Fisher always says: "To add value it is necessary to identify information not widely known, or to interpret widely known information differently and correctly from other market participants."  


  • Ken Fisher Forbes Article: Read the Tea Leaves Correctly

    Bull markets don’t depend on job growth Today’s biggest investor fear boils down to one thing: recession. While there’s no guarantee that there won’t be a double dip, I can tell you with certainty that another recession now would be unprecedented when you consider the historical evidence.

    We have never had a recession after the traditional leading economic indicator (LEI) index has been high and rising for five months. But that’s what is happening today on an absolute and year-over-year basis. For those keen on ­comparing 2011 with the ugliness of 2007–09, note that the LEI back then had been falling for three years.

    Ken Fisher has been bullish with the market. He heavily invested in international market these days. In his latest column with Forbes, he said to be bullish even if Obama wins the re-election.  


  • Ken Fisher: Be Bullish Even If Obama Wins

    With Rick Perry and the seven dwarfs scrambling for the nomination, there is good news and bad news for investors aligned with the Republican Party. First, the bad news. Republicans hate President Obama, so they naturally overestimate his vulnerability. News flash: It's tougher to beat an incumbent than you think. Since the inception of Standard & Poor's benchmark stock index in 1925, Presidents have sought another term 14 times. Only four failed, and these losers were weak.

    Hoover ran against the Great Depression he presided over and lost. In 1976 Ford, a political novice who had never run a major race in his life, was barely beaten by Carter. Of course, Carter was an easy mark for Ronald Reagan, the greatest GOP campaigner ever. In 1992 incumbent George H.W. Bush lost against the recession begun on his watch and the second-best Democratic campaigner ever, Bill Clinton.  


  • Kenneth Fisher's Top Q2 Holdings - BASFY, SI, JNJ, SLB, ORCL

    Kenneth Fisher - Kenneth Fisher's Top Q2 Holdings - BASFY, SI, JNJ, SLB, ORCL Kenneth Fisher’s top portfolio picks are mainly large, multinational tech, medical and oil conglomerates that he has held over the long term. The philosophy of his $43 billion firm, Fisher Investments, is that the supply and demand of securities alone determines their pricing, and the only way to get an edge over other investors is to find information not widely known about the companies or to interpret it differently from the general consensus.

    At the outset of 2011, Fisher wrote, “This should be a relatively easy year for stock pickers. There is an abundance of cheap stocks relatives to interest rates, especially if you look beyond our borders.” His top holdings as of June 30, 2011, are: BASF Ag (BASFY), Siemens AG ADS (SI), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) and Oracle Corp. (ORCL).  


  • Kenneth Fisher's New Buys and Adds: IBM, AGN, GOOG, MDT, JNJ

    Ken Fisher, son of legendary investor Phillip A. Fisher, is the CEO and chief investment officer of Fisher Investments. He is the only industry professional his father ever trained, and over his career as a fund manager, he has made numerous accurate market calls that were often in opposition to the Wall Street consensus. Fisher is also a contributor to Forbes, having written the "Portfolio Strategy" column for over two decades. His investment philosophy assumes that supply and demand are the sole determinants of security pricing, and that all widely known information has already been priced into the market. Thus, Fisher Investments seeks to identify and exploit information not widely known or to interpret commonly held beliefs differently. According to his second quarter portfolio disclosures, Fisher made numerous new additions and buys, with the five most impacting his portfolio being IBM (IBM), Allergan Inc. (AGN), Google (GOOG), Medtronic Inc. (MDT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

  • Portfolio Juice From Hero CEOS

    Ken Fisher just published a column on Forbes titled: Portfolio Juice From Hero CEOs. He said that real hero CEOs can materially boost a stock's multiple.

    "My father, Philip Fisher, always believed management was the key. Warren Buffett said that when great management meets a lousy business it's the management's reputation that changes (and vice versa). They would both agree: A great management in a great business purchased at a great price is, well, great."  


  • Kenneth Fisher: Portfolio Juice From Hero CEOS

    Kenneth Fisher recommended five stocks in this month’s Forbes magazine and its online version Forbes.com. His selection this time is based on hero managers running the company. Two of stocks are the same companies he discussed during a recent CNBC interview. Without giving away too much, here is one more company:
    Fast-food chains often shine during a late bull market. John Schnatter of PAPA JOHN'S INTERNATIONAL (PZZA, 31) is my pick for this industry. His restaurant chain has 600 stores and 3,000 franchisees spanning America and internationally. In 1983 he sold his 1971 Camaro Z28 for $2,800 to finance a pizza kitchen in his father's tavern. He bought the car back in 2009 for $250,000 and offered Camaro owners a free pizza. Likable, handsome, a charmer, he is also a regular fellow, reminding me of a mix between Chuck Schwab and late-1970s Chuck E. Cheese hero Nolan Bushnell. The stock is at 70% of annual revenue and 12 times my estimate of 2011 earnings.

  • Kenneth Fisher's Stock Picks: RYAAY and COST

    U.S. stock investors are looking for a bounce back today following Monday's sell-off. Veteran stock picker Kenneth Fisher and a Forbes columnist shares his best stock advice.

    As the third year after the market bottom, 2011 will be the year when stock market goes sidewise, said Fisher.  


  • Kenneth Fisher's Recommendations for 2011

    Wallace Forbes of Forbes interviewed Kenneth Fisher in late part of February.

    Fisher think 2011 will be a year of stock selection, unlike in the previous two years in which things tends to move up or down together. As he put it:
    Now, I think we’ve returned to a world in which we see a growing dispersion of returns among and within categories. And the correlations fall. Picking becomes much more important than it has been – the picking of categories and also the picking of sub-categories and individual stocks.

  • Ken Fisher: A Year For Stock Pickers

    Kenneth Fisher - Ken Fisher: A Year For Stock Pickers This is the latest column from Ken Fisher. He thinks that 2011 will be a year for stock pickers. that is, most of us on GuruFocus.

    "My research now shows there are too many optimists out there. That's bearish! But wait, the research indicates that there are also too many pessimists lingering about--many longtime, heels-dug-in doomers--as well as newly converted acrophobics. They are fearful mostly because of the last two years' heady rise. That's bullish."  


  • Kenneth Fisher Bullish On International Stocks: TSU, THI, TKR and ENI

    Kenneth Fisher - Kenneth Fisher Bullish On International Stocks: TSU, THI, TKR And ENI I could not help imaging what will Ken Fisher and John Hussman say to each other if they ever meet. The former is always optimistic towards the stock market and the later has a tendency to be skeptical towards things.

    While Hussman has been calling the stock market “overvalued, overbought, overbullish”, and facing rising-yields condition environment. Fisher has been characteristically bullis. It is true that in long term, stock market goes up, so chances are he is more often to be right than wrong. As he wrote in his latest column in Forbes.com, he founds his recent bullishness on the global economic growth, the low interest environment and presidential term cycle. And dear to the value investors ears, if you believe what he says:This should be a relatively easy year for stock pickers. There is an abundance of cheap stocks relative to interest rates, especially if you look beyond our borders.

    Kenneth Fisher - Kenneth Fisher Bullish On Emerging Market Airlines: LFL, CEA, TAM, GOL With Election over and holiday seasons around the corner, money manager Kenneth Fisher is rather jolly these days.

    Out of his optimistic nature and following his bullish tradition, Fisher wrote a column for Forbes, entitled “Gridlock Is Good for Stocks”. The gridlock created by the mid-term election just gave him more reason to be bullish:
    We haven't had a negative stock market return in either the 6 or 12 months following a midterm election since World War II.
