Mark Hulbert is editor of The Hulbert Financial Digest (HFD), which has rated the performance of investment newsletters for more than 30 years. In 2002 the HFD became a service of MarketWatch. Since then, in addition to continuing to edit the monthly HFD newsletter, Hulbert has written a three-times-a-week investment column for the MarketWatch website. From 1998 through early 2010, Hulbert wrote a column on investment strategies for the Sunday New York Times.  For the 11 years before that, he was a columnist on the same subject for Forbes magazine. Hulbert has co-authored two books: “The Hulbert Guide to Financial Newsletters” (Dearborn, 1993) and “Interlock: The Untold Story of American Banks, Oil Interests, the Shah’s Money, Debts and the Astounding Connections Between Them” (Richardson & Snyder, 1982).
