I resisted getting this book when it first came out. Much as I enjoy Ken Fisher as a writer, and appreciate the interaction that I have had with him over the years, the title turned me away. "Three questions? Only three? Investing is far more complex than that." I would say that to myself.After reviewing his most recent book, I said to myself, "Well, you've reviewed all of his books but one; you may as well do it." So, I borrowed the book from a friend.I wish I had read it sooner. The three questions are simple ones, and they have been mentioned elsewhere on the internet, so here they are: * What do you believe that is actually false? * What can you fathom that others find unfathomable? * What the heck is my brain doing to blindside me now?The idea is to get us to think more deeply. Test the received wisdom to see if it is really true. Look for unusual areas of competitive advantage that you have that are possessed by few. Your emotions will often lead you astray: look for opportunity amid fear; look for shelter amid wild abandon.Competitive advantage in investing is an elusive thing. The clever idea that you might discover is just one journal article away from an academic toiling in obscurity, but will go to a hedge fund two years from now.Patterns that work in one market should work in most markets.

这本书刚出版时，我就不肯买。虽然我很欣赏肯·费舍尔作为一名作家，也很欣赏我与他多年来的互动，但这个头衔却把我拒之门外。”三个问题？只有三个？投资远比这复杂得多。”我会这样对自己说，看完他最近的一本书，我对自己说，“好吧，你已经看完了他所有的书，只有一本；所以，我向一个朋友借了这本书。我真希望早点读。这三个问题很简单，在网上其他地方也提到过，所以这里是：*你认为这实际上是假的是什么？*你能理解什么让别人觉得深不可测？*我的大脑到底在做什么来蒙蔽我？这个想法是为了让我们更深入地思考。检验所接受的智慧，看它是否真的是真的。寻找少数人拥有的不寻常的竞争优势领域。你的情绪常常会使你误入歧途：在恐惧中寻找机会；在荒野中寻找庇护。投资的竞争优势是一件难以捉摸的事情。你可能会发现一个聪明的想法，它离默默无闻的学术工作只差一篇期刊文章了，但两年后它将流向一家对冲基金，在一个市场上起作用的模式应该适用于大多数市场。
