Starting in 1960, the FORRESTT FORECASTER will supervise three Model Speculative Portfolios and report on them each week. The Reporting each week will be brief with a weekly total "score" for each portfolio because this book actually sets up each portfolio as to objective, and the how-and-why" of each transaction to be made this year." Forrestt goes on to explain how he has set up his 3 model portfolios and the strategies he'll employ for each. Alexander Forrestt was a registered investment advisor in New Haven, CT.

About Molodovski:
Nicholas Molodovski may be best known for the "Molodovski Effect," which deals PE Ratios. Assuming that a High PE stock is a Growth Stock may be fatal. The problem with this assumption is that the "E" component may be depressed as the earnings are at a low point in the economic cycle. So what you have in this case is a cyclical stock, which may not be a growth stock at all. This misleading High PE is known as the "Molodovsky Effect", named after Nicholas Molodovsky, who discussed this issue in his article "A Theory of Price Earnings Ratios" in the Analysts Journal (1953).

The CFA Institute has named an award in Molodovski's honor and it is still presented periodically to those individuals who have made outstanding contributions of such significance as to change the direction of the profession and to raise it to higher standards of accomplishments. Nicholas Molodovski was the first to receive this award in 1968.
