Readers of the Money magazine though can still get a sneak peek in the latest Issue for sept 09 for his portfolio and  how its faring and what new stocks he recommends. And, notably in 11 of the 35 years his annual gain has exceeded 100%. David’s best 12 month gain was in 1999 by producing a 305.5% return, and in the same year the All-Ordinaries produced a comparatively small gain of just 11.5%

This article at the inflationist.com gives a brief history from the American perspective of David Haselhurst and compares him to warren buffet. Personally i think  there is truth in this  as i have been following his portfolio for some time now  and still don’t know how he manages to pick the winners  and always be ahead even though small  stock picking is such a  fine art.

Here is what the inflationist says about David Haselhurst

“We’re seeing financials, resources and listed property trusts weaker,” he said. “I think the only part of the market where I see a bit of green is in the telecommunications sector, which is really Telstra.
