If you are a follower of Ken Fisher you must be interested to listen to his latest forecast on what will happen in the next decade.

The next decade will be as good for investors as the 1990s, said Ken Fisher, the billionaire chief executive officer of Fisher Investments Inc.From Bloomberg

Fisher made this forecast at the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Sydney.

Don’t follow Fisher’s forecast blindly, the man might have made a ton of money from stocks before but keep in mind the man is human and he makes mistakes just like us mere mortals.Like in the case below:-

Fisher said in October 2008 that U.S. stocks were close to the bottom. The S&P 500 fell about 30 percent from October 2008 to a 12-year low in March 2009.
