Over the year to date through October, Crawford Perspectives is up a breathtaking 36% by Hulbert Financial Digest count, vs. negative 32.94% for the dividend-reinvested Dow Jones Wilshire 5000.People like to follow what is working. If Arch Crawford was the top, big name market timer this year and he predicts a major rally into mid 2009, then this can be a self fulfilling prophecy as followers can move the market.
Over the past 12 months, Crawford is up 6% vs. negative 36.3% for the total return DJ-Wilshire 5000.
This is not a flash in the pan ... well, not completely. Over the past five years, the Crawford letter has achieved an annualized gain of 3.1%, vs. 0.8% annualized for the total return DJ-W.But over the entire period that the HFD has monitored Crawford, the letter has achieved only a 4.7% annualized gain, vs. 8.8% annualized for the total return DJ-W 5000.
This is because, every once in a while, Crawford's hot hand turns into a cold claw.
For example, Crawford was one the 10 worst-performing letters of 2006.
From Bradley Turn Dates for 2007, today, 10/17/07, is supposed to be the most important turn date for 2007.
