The Only Three Questions that Still Count, Ken Fisher, Lara Hoffmans, Jennifer Chou

Finished this one yesterday. Enjoyed learning more about Ken Fisher and how he has used data and analysis to go after some of the myths of Wall Street. Always good to be taught to think critically, whether that be about money or otherwise. And good to be reminded of the need to be cautious and humble in the market as well.

I picked up this book after getting a pitch from Fisher Investments as they'd like to manage as much of our portfolio as I will let them. A challenge, though, for me to give control to someone else as I've not been pleased with previous financial advisers, and I also enjoy the game as I try to learn and practice good investor behavior. I really enjoy learning about all the behavioral economics and psychological bias information in an investing framework. Some of my best work is simply doing nothing, as opposed to being reactive. I can sometimes be super skilled at doing nothing.
