Detailed Analysis of MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC
About Martin Zweig: During the 15 years that it was monitored, Zweig’s stock recommendation newsletter returned an average of 15.9 percent per year, during which time it was ranked number one based on risk-adjusted returns by Hulbert Financial Digest. Zweig has managed both mutual and hedge funds during his career, and he’s put the fortune he’s compiled to some interesting uses. He has owned what Forbes reported was the most expensive apartment in New York, a $70 million penthouse that sits atop Manhattan’s Pierre Hotel, and he is a collector of all sorts of pop culture and historical memorabilia — among his purchases are the gun used by Clint Eastwood in “Dirty Harry”, a stock certificate signed by Commodore Vanderbilt, and even two old-fashioned gas pumps similar to those he’d seen at a nearby gas station while growing up in Cleveland, according to published reports.
