One more anecdote: "The Business Week Contrarian Market Indicator" has just hit the streets - a cover story featuring Amazon. To a high degree of accuracy, cover pages on Business Week have called the tops to bull markets in many stocks. The logic of the Contrarian Indicator is that by the time a company quickly rises to prominance to be placed on the cover of B.W., just about everybody who might be interested in investing in it is now aware of it and there is no where for the stock interest level to go but down.<< Don't believe this BS Rob, Mike Dell has been on there too.

I would like to see you post a link or reference backing up your statement "To a high degree of accuracy, cover pages on Business Week have called the tops to bull markets in many stocks." The last paragraph of your post is provided below for ease of reading: One more anecdote: "The Business Week Contrarian Market Indicator" has just hit the streets - a cover story featuring Amazon. To a high degree of accuracy, cover pages on Business Week have called the tops to bull markets in many stocks. The logic of the Contrarian Indicator is that by the time a company quickly rises to prominance to be placed on the cover of B.W., just about everybody who might be interested in investing in it is now aware of it and there is no where for the stock interest level to go but down. While I don't have any research I have been a subscriber and reader of Business Week since 1986 and quite frankly I have not noticed this "To a high degree of accuracy, cover pages on Business Week have called the tops to bull markets in many stocks" of which you speak. Of course I don't have any research, just my anecdotal experience over the last 13 years with Business Week and I cleary state this is my opinion. I await your verifiable analysis, or do you wish to change your statement to read that it is your opinion that "cover pages on Business Week have called the tops to bull markets in many stocks"? Regards
