Less than 10% of all mutual fund managers have been able to beat the S&P 500 index over the past five years. Those who have are a rare breed. They have a keen sense of knowing when and what to buy and -- just as important -- when to sell. They are the true wizards of Wall Street. This series of interviews gets into the heads of 18 of these stars to learn their strategies for outperforming the market. Some of them have been around for decades, while others have quickly proven their prowess by becoming leaders of the new generation of fund managers. Kazanjian also distills the wisdom of the wizards into a special section called "10 Keys to Beating the Market."

Cyclic Analysis (33 pages, $19.95 softcover, 1974, ISBN 0934380560), by J.M. Hurst, published by Traders Press. Traders Press president Edward Dobson had for many years heard that the work of J.M. Hurst was of great value to technical analysis, especially in the area of cyclical analysis of stock price movement. Believing it was important that Hurst's work be kept alive, Dobson made a special project of resuscitating the Hurst research in its various forms. After persevering through a number of challenges, the project reached fruition with the publication of this booklet. Hurst wrote this booklet as a summary and overview of his very lengthy Hurst Cycles Course, which is once again also available from Traders Press after being out of print for many years.

The Disciplined Trader: Developing Winning Attitudes (236 pages, $34.95 hardcover, 1990, ISBN 0132157578), by Mark Douglas, published by New York Institute of Finance/Prentice Hall Press.

Then he shows the reader how to develop and apply attitudes and behaviors that transcend psychological obstacles and lead to success. This book gives an overview of the psychological trading requirements, defines the problems of becoming a successful trader, gives insights into what behavior might need to be changed, and how to develop specific trading skills.
