A number of colleagues and friends deserve tremendous praise and thanks for helping make this book a reality. We would like to extend our tremendous thanks to Ken Fisher for providing the opportunity to write this book. Jeff Silk deserves our thanks for constantly challenging us to improve and presenting new and insightful questions as fast as we can answer them. Our colleagues at Fisher Investments also deserve tremendous thanks for continually sharing their wealth of knowledge, insights, and analysis. Without these people the very concept of this book would never have been possible.

We owe enormous thanks to Lara Hoffmans for her guidance and significant editing contributions—she was instrumental in completing this book. We'd also like to thank Michael Hanson and Evelyn Chea for their editing work, as well as Evelyn's assistance with citations and sources. Thanks to Dina Ezzat for handling tactical details, and to Leila Amiri for her attractive graphics and images. A special thanks to Brian Kepp, Roger Bohl, Charles Thies, Aaron Azelton, and Brad Pyles for their contributions to data and content. We'd also like to thank Tom Holmes for helping with some of the book's graphics and tables.

Marc Haberman, Molly Lienesch, and Fabrizio Ornani were also instrumental in the creation of Fisher Investments Press, which created the infrastructure behind this book. Of course, this book would also not be possible without our data vendors, so we owe a big thank you to Thomson Reuters and Global Financial Data. We'd also like to thank our team at Wiley, for their support and guidance throughout this project, especially David Pugh and Kelly O'Connor.

Brendan Erne would also like to specifically thank his father Jim, mother Holly, and brother Joel for their ongoing support, as well as his manager John Hulwick for his understanding, patience, and encouragement through the book-writing process.
