Martin Zweig's Winning on Wall Street by Martin E. Zweig, Morrie Goldfischer I picked this up and read again after glossing it over in the 1980's. At the time the buy/sell signals didn't make much sense to a new investor. Zweig is one of the few that survived the bear market of 1971-1973. Zweig hits the readers with numerous statistics, but applying the inverted yield curve, historically high PE, and constant FED hikes show in hindsight the March crash was coming with the inverted yield curve being the last trigger. The most interesting aspects were the signs he used to show that the bear of 1973 was over and the indictors he used to show it. Zweig plots out his many buy/signals and shows that they were right most of the time. He does show where it didn't work, but those losses were small compared to the huge gains. Zweig seems to have sold out early in many rallys, but never got killed in the bear markets. When Zweig wrote the newsletter, he was one the top subscribed and highly rated by Hulbert. He went to work privately as a fund manager. A book to reread a few times and markup with your notes. This was my main read for the last three months. Highly recommended. Jack
