Canada's 12 Wise Men - The Stock Market Superstars
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 01:10PM
I read Bob Thompson's book Stock Market Superstars
over the holidays. In summary this is a "Market Wizards" style book of interviews with some of Canada's best performing money managers. Most of the interviews sound like they were completed in early to mid -2008 so there isn't much commentary one what they are doing to navigate the current markets. I did a quick look through their fund performance, and guess what? Some of Canada's best money managers were crushed last year. In spite of that humbling reality check, this group had been consistently outperforming the markets and their performance is likely to snap back ahead of market averages. I'll be looking at each manager individually in future posts.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
This book is a revelation but my surprise is not all that great since my son John was always a whizz kid, Wunderking, and while I may be a world authority in my field of lexicography as Google freely states, I am not a financial wizard. If I were one, I would not be sitting here or leaving three trails behind every time I shufle to the stable in mid-winter.
Thanks for a job well done, Bob Thompson, and keep up the good work!
Cordially,
Jack Thiessen
Just encountered your blog. This appears like an extremely educational site and I hold in high esteem the effort you put into it. I will plan to visit your website commonly.
I saw a news item concerning that on TV at the weekend. Thanks for putting more meat on the bones
Please correct my mistake in the review of Stock Market Superstars. I meant to refer to Son John as a WUNDERKIND not Wundgerking.
