Meet our Forbes Guru: Jim Stack
Jim Stack is the editor of the InvesTech Market Analyst, which has earned widespread recognition for its time-proven risk allocation strategy, as well as their innovative analysis of the Federal Reserve. Through an extensive computer and satellite communications system, InvesTech maintains over 90 years of financial and historical market data.
Jim was one of the most vocal bears on Wall Street in the late 1990s, warning of a valuation and high-tech bubble that would end in disaster for the small investor. But that is not the first time Jim has earned national attention for his insightful market outlook. In 1987, he received widespread recognition as one of only a handful of advisors to warn of imminent danger prior to Black Monday. And in January 1991, he published his famous issue titled “Toro! Toro!,” just ten days before the stock market blastoff at DJIA 2400. He has earned a 20-year reputation for safety-first investing with a portfolio performance described by Forbes as “more or less impervious to declines.”
Jim was formerly a project manager for IBM Research with a number of domestic and international patents to his credit. Jim has a graduate degree in engineering with post-graduate study in business. He maintains direct control over the company's computer research... creating most of the custom analysis software used by InvesTech.
In addition to addressing numerous investment seminars, Jim has been a guest on "Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser," and is regularly invited to appear on the "Nightly Business Report" (on all PBS stations), CNN's "Business Day" and "Moneyline" and CNBC.
His distinctive approach to stock market analysis and unique insight into the Federal Reserve have led to InvesTech's being frequently quoted in BusinessWeek, Barron's, Money Magazine, Worth Magazine, Financial World, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, Forbes, and of course, The Wall Street Journal. Jim was one of only a handful of advisors credited by the national news media as having warned subscribers to exit the market before Black Monday.
