Turn It Off: Why Background Noise Is Killing Your Investments

by Kenneth L. Fisher

Backed by months of tedious research and analysis, Bestselling author Ken Fisher tackles the subject of noise and just how much it affects people's investment choices. In true Ken style, the book is chock full of number crunching and hard-hitting analysis to back up the overall thesis: spending too much time listening to pundits talk about money is going to negatively affect your portfolio. Ken tracks years of historical data to prove that investments swayed by giving into too much background noise are worse off than investments made via old fashioned hard work (sticking to the fundamentals).
