About Kenneth Fisher: Kenneth Fisher is the son of Philip Fisher, considered the “Father of Growth Investing”. He is a wealth manager, bestselling author, and longtime Forbes columnist. The younger Fisher wowed Wall Street in the mid-1980s when his book, Super Stocks, first popularized the idea of ​​using the price-to-sales ratio (PSR) as a means of identifying attractive stocks. According to his alma mater, Humboldt State University, Fisher is also one of the world’s leading experts on 19th-century logging. Fittingly, Fisher’s company, Fisher Investments, is based in a lush forest preserve in Woodside, California, where the controversial Fisher says he and his associates can escape Wall Street groupthink.
