The Zweig Method: 10 Growth Investments for a Tough Market

Problem is these 'fundamental analysis' schemes simply don't work in a ferocious bear market. All the clever Ben Graham derivatives approaches lose money. Zweig's approach is great in an up or flat market, but pretty useless now (though 2 out of 3 ain't bad).

Maybe not Zweig's approach, but many of these stock filtering schemes would have coughed up such illustrious stocks as GE.

For all the cynicism about technical analysis a simple 50 week moving average or 200 day moving average would have got you out of the market almost a year ago.
