For More Than 25 Years, IBD Has Been Helping Investors

2009 Anniversary Issue

I dedicated the 2004 Stock Trader’s Almanac to Bill O’Neil: “His foresight, innovation and disciplined approach to stock market investing will influence investors and traders for generations to come.” I would also add that the inspiring daily column, IBD’s 10 Secrets to Success, by itself, is worth much more that the subscription price.

YALE HIRSCH, PUBLISHER, EDITOR OF STOCK TRADER’S ALMANAC, AUTHOR OF LET’S CHANGE THE WORLD INC.

I think the consistency of IBD and the interesting and informative news on a range of topics that is highly relevant for investors is impressive. The Monday newspaper also adds some interesting variables. I think the item that strikes me as very useful, and well edited day-in, day-out is trends and innovation on the always interesting page 2. Those nuggets just don’t turn up anywhere else. Keep up the good work.

JOHN CURLEY, FORMER CEO OF GANNETT INC.
AND FOUNDING EDITOR OF USA TODAY

The IBD editorial pages are a pure, insightful, and factual expression of free market capitalism. A wonder and a marvel to read every day. For me, these pages are a must read.

LARRY KUDLOW, HOST, CNBC’S THE KUDLOW REPORT

History has and will continue to hold a distinct credit of honor to the contributions Investor’s Business Daily has made on numerous individual and institutional investors over the past 25 years. No other information source can match the fact-based historical research that IBD delivers and teaches.

Congratulations to IBD for 25 amazing years of success! I would be lost without my Investor’s Business Daily and Investors.com. There is no better source, I have found, for the clear direction and insights we all need in the financial markets. It is my number one favorite source for finding the right stocks at the right time. It’s the very best arrow to have in your investing quiver!

GABE WISDOM, HOST OF BUSINESS TALK RADIO’S GABRIEL WISDOM SHOW

In 1984 I bought my first copy of Investor’s Daily and I was hooked. The charts! The data! The ratings! The advance-decline line! Finally, a financial newspaper with truly useful information. Little did I know that I was also starting on a path of investment enlightenment led by Bill O’Neil.

DAVE WHITMORE, PRESIDENT, SOGOTRADE.COM

Congratulations to Investor’s Business Daily on a quarter century of service to Americans. I confess that I mutter the phrase, “I wish I had written that!” more often reading IBDeditorials.com than at any other publication.

Congratulations of your 25th Silver Anniversary! Thank you, for these many years of financial education and insights! Looking forward to the next 25 years and your 50th Golden Anniversary!

GINNY W., CALIFORNIA, INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR

Congratulations on your longevity achievement. Truly outstanding. To an investment adviser, news is stock in trade. I can always count on your concise summaries to convey the business day’s chief events, and your graphics supplement this in a fine manner. Keep up the good work.

FRANK J., OHIO, INVESTING MANAGER

I have been an IBD reader since the beginning. After a lot of mistakes I eventually became a believer in the IBD – CAN SLIM method of investing. The best part is having a lot of cash at the bottom of a bear market. If that doesn’t make one a believer, nothing will. Congratulations and keep up the great work!

RON E., NEW YORK, INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR

I have been reading, studying, and implementing the IBD methodology of stock analysis and selection since 1988 and have been a subscriber for much of that time. The IBD team has continued to provide a service to investors small and large with tools to beat the market across a broad spectrum of investment opportunities. Thank you for a quarter century of service.
