A History of the Modern Stock Market

From the trusted experts at Fisher Investments, a look at the events that shaped the stock market through the 20th century and beyond
As Mark Twain so famously said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." Though exact events differ, the larger trends never change-something all great investors know well. A History of the Modern Stock Market demonstrates that, through all of history's turmoil (the Great Depression, wars, scandal, assassinations, credit crises-all detailed here), in investing, "this time is never different." The details change, but economic fundamentals and human nature don't. So understanding the past can help you see the future more clearly. And seeing more clearly can help you invest better-now and in the future. The book
