Yale Hirsch
I am the creator of the annual STOCK TRADER’S ALMANAC. The first edition was in 1968. The next one in 2012 will be the 45th annual edition. The best known of the theories I formulated over the years is the well-known “January Barometer.” It states that as January goes, so goes the entire market year. This indicator has a very impressive record of accuracy since 1937, especially in odd-numbered years, when new Congresses convene. Other innovations have included the “Santa Claus Rally,” the quadrennial political/stock market cycle, and investing during the “Best Six Consecutive Months” of the Year, November through April.
In June 1973 I began publishing the investment newsletter SMART MONEY and achieved uncanny accuracy with the October 1974 issue. Its front page headline “Buy! Buy! Buy!” was mailed on the exact bottom day of the market. Two months later in December 1974, with the Dow just below 600, I proclaimed on page one, “Dow 800 By April.” This 33% gain in 4 months was reached just as I had predicted. The leading feature in Smart Money over the years was “America’s Most Undiscovered Companies.” Starting in 1985, there have were ten bull’s-eye annual forecasts in a row in Smart Money with just one mid-course correction.
In the April 1976 issue of Smart Money, I predicted a 500% market move by the end of 1990. I reiterated this concept on Wall Street Week in April 1978 and again in December 1981. This was not a wild guess but a carefully considered conclusion based on in-depth research into how inflationary periods following major wars have triggered subsequent 500% moves in the stock market. The 500% move was actually completed on July 16, 1990 by the S&P composite index. A SELL SIGNAL on September 23, 1987 at Dow 2585.67 was given just four weeks before the Crash to 1616.21.
My greatest stock picking record occurred in the early part of the 21st century. For a two-year period I had recommended 54 stocks and at their highs the average gain was an unbelievable gain of 485 percent
GROUND FLOOR, a second investment newsletter, was launched on October 23, 1981. It concentrated on exciting companies with an emphasis on technology, asset plays and turnarounds.
I also created the annual MUTUAL FUNDS ALMANAC in 1969 and edited and published it for 11 years until it was sold. An early feature was, “No-Loads Have a Helluva Head Start.” I also stood up in favor of term insurance and felt that whole life insurance provided a poor rate of return.
DON’T SELL STOCKS ON MONDAY was published in 1986. John Wiley in 2010 published another book I authored. Its title is, THE CAPITALIST SPIRIT: How Each and Every One of Us Can Make a Giant Difference in Our Fast-Changing World. Currently, I am almost finished with a new annual, FEMINIST DIARY 2012.
Six other books I am practically finished with are entitled,
1. JUMP START SOMEONE’S LIFE: Or Your Own, START RIGHT NOW
2. CLASSIC HEART WARMERS: To Warm Your Heart, Feast Your Eyes, Delight Your Mind, Amuse Your Spirits, and Tickle Your Fancy
3. POVERTY SUCKS! A Wry Look at Money, Power, and Success
4. TURN ME OVER PLEASE: But Swallow Any Beverage Before Reading Any Punchlines
5. CHANGE YOUR LIFE: Live Up to Your Full Potential (1200+ Inspirational Gems)
6. BEING A TEACHER IS AWESOME
A musical that I wrote the words and music for is based on the story of The Elephant Man. It is entitled, MERRICK AND MELISSA, and is being worked on at the NOHO Theater in North Hollywood CA.
