The scary part of this thread was that these books were not written by a bunch of yahoos, but are authors with a lot of education and experience. Even the experts cant seem to make good predictions at times.
Bob Zuccaro began his career as an analyst for the Value Line Survey in New York City in 1967. When he entered the investment business, there were only 204 mutual funds of all types in existence compared to some 15,000 today. In late 1983 after receiving numerous opportunities to join other investment firms, he decided to form an advisory firm and named it Target Investors. In 1997, Mr. Zuccaro founded Grand Prix Fund--oriented toward aggressive growth stocks. The new fund achieved distinction as one of only seven mutual funds in history to achieve back-to-back years of triple-digit returns. Grand Prix Fund returned 112% in 1998 and 148% in 1999 before it got caught in the throes of the vicious bear market that took hold in early 2000. The author has managed money during his 34-year career through seven bull markets, seven bear markets, and five recessions. The success and accolades received over the years have been earned through in-depth study, intense efforts and application of strict investment disciplines.
