327.0. "Investment Newleter" by SUBWAY::SAMBAMURTY (Raja) Tue Dec 08 1992 18:25

    Has anyone had experience with The Professional Tape Reader ? I think
    this is published by Stan Weinstein, this guy appears on NBR every so
    often. I think he is some kind of technician but I am not sure about
    his record. Any info would be appreciated.

    In defense of Stan, the Wednesday before Black Monday, he put a special
    recording on his telephone hotline with appropriate warning of the
    impending trouble. 
    
    Normally Stan only has one recording a week. It is quite unusual to put
    on a special one and was indicative of the unusual conditions.
327.3Compared to what?VMSDEV::HALLYBFish have no concept of fire.Wed Dec 09 1992 15:1911
    Stan is very telegenic and uses the media to maximum advantage.
    
    I recall a couple years ago when DEC had just sunk below 100 and IBM
    was lounging in the same area and Stan said, very emphatically:
    "Do Not Go Bottom-Fishing in these Stocks!".  Good advice, no?
    
    But I don't subscribe to Stan's newsletter -- personally I find stock
    picking just isn't my game.  But for those who do that sort of thing,
    you could do a lot worse.

327.5Investech Market LetterCGOOA::DURNINLive Dangerously - Don't sit on the FenceMon Dec 14 1992 22:0111
    Hi
    
    The Investech market letter published by Jim Stack, I find to be very
    good with clear cut advice.  Currently he is bullish and about
    60 % invested.
    
    I am not aware of his official long term track record...see Hurlbert
    for that.  However, I find his information credible and recall him
    being disinvested at the time of the crash...Oct. 1987.
    
    Regards,  Jim
