By Ken Fisher, Hong Kong Economic Journal, Tuesday, January 14, 2025

小測驗︰以下哪一項是股票市場的重要驅動因素? 1.全球央行動向。 2.氣候變化。 3.香港生育不足與內地人口憂患。 4.科技巨擘的反壟斷角力。 答案是?以上皆非! 難以置信?大多數人認為股票是短視、遠視或兩者間的奇怪組合。非也!股票通常只受未來3至30個月內影響獲利能力的因素影響,並忽視大部分的短期

Un año de confusión y paciencia en los mercados

By Ken Fisher, elEconomista, Monday, January 13, 2025

Antes de compartir mi pronóstico para 2025, quiero revelar una verdad absoluta: cualquier pronóstico requiere conocer información importante que otros han pasado por alto. Por eso, cuando estoy seguro de algo, no hay medias tintas. En enero del año pasado, expliqué por qué tanto la bolsa española como la internacional se dispararían en 2024. Predije lo mismo para 2023. Mis lectores más fieles saben que también me he equivocado muchas veces, y eso es algo molesto.

Don’t fall prey to The Great Humiliator

By Ken Fisher, The Australian, Sunday, January 12, 2025

What will the ASX and global stocks do in 2025? Despite trying hard, I humbly don’t know … yet … but I have a plan. Let me explain. My neck sticks out. I am not shy. You saw it last January, when I foresaw global stocks’ gangbusters 2024. Ditto 2023. But overconfidence is poison. I have long called the stock market “The Great Humiliator” (TGH). It seeks to humiliate as many investors as possible, for as much money as possible for as long as possible. Overconfident investors are its prey.

Why your plan this New Year should be to ignore Fed rate moves

By Ken Fisher, The National, Wednesday, January 8, 2025

Will the Fed keep cutting rates in 2025? Or will resurgent inflation force renewed hikes? Will UK and eurozone cuts prove too little, too late? Will more Bank of Japan hikes derail its gross domestic product bounce?

Anyone telling you what central banks will do is a liar or fool. You can’t know, ever. The good news? You don’t need to. Central banks’ power is hugely overrated. Cut, hike or hold, their actions rarely mean much. Sound heretical? Hear me out.

Ken Fisher: Lockande att hoppa på kryptotåget – men var medveten om riskerna

By Ken Fisher, Privata Affärer, Tuesday, January 7, 2025

Dags att haka på kryptotåget? Handelsvolymen för krypto passerade ju 10 biljoner dollar för första gången i november, så det är säkert många som gör det – och verkar tjäna storkovan direkt. Bitcoin stack iväg upp över 100 000 dollar efter att ”kryptovänliga” Donald Trump vann presidentvalet i USA i november. Men innan du hoppar på tåget, ha klart för dig vad man kan vänta sig, skriver Ken Fisher i en krönika.

El bitcoin se dispara… pero también caerá

By Ken Fisher, El Financiero, Friday, January 3, 2025

Seguro que se ha preguntado si debería invertir en criptomonedas. Después de que el volumen de bitcoins haya superado por primera vez los 10 billones de dólares, muchos se hacen la misma pregunta. Al parecer, varios inversionistas —entre otros, el mexicano Ricardo Salinas Pliego— están cosechando ganancias de forma inmediata tras la reelección de Donald Trump, partidario de las criptomonedas, que impulsó al bitcoin por encima de los 100 mil dólares. Antes de lanzarse a comprar, le conviene conocer todas sus implicaciones.
