Why it seemed like only yesterday…. 9/13/2004 to be exact:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — AlphaTrade.com (OTCBB:APTD) — AlphaTrade is celebrating the release of its enhanced E-Gate Portfolio — a powerful, upgraded portfolio manager several years in the making — by running a special promotional giveaway featuring Robert Zuccaro’s book prophesying "Dow 30,000 by 2008." Mr. Zuccaro is manager of the technology-oriented "Grand Prix Funds" and the promotion includes Mr. Zuccaro’s "Market Outlook" newsletter.

[...]

Mr. Zuccaro’s book, "Why It’s Different This Time" features incisive historical and modern analyses of the market and its reaction to the various technological breakthroughs of the day. Mr. Zuccaro’s historically-based argument is that modern-day investors have not experienced a technological breakthrough of the magnitude of the Internet and related computer technology and thus may not be able to tell the difference between cyclical market moves and the longterm profit play offered by modern technological miracles.

"We’re intrigued by Bob’s analysis of technology and the markets," said Penny Perfect, CEO of AlphaTrade. "He’s historically-oriented and long-term focused, and we believe our subscribers — whether they agree with everything or not — will find his viewpoint valuable and practical."

…and Mr. Zuccaro’s book also makes a lovely and colorful coaster. You can find your copy of Dow 30,000 at your neighborhood bookstore right next to A Mormon in the White House?: 10 Things Every American Should Know about Mitt Romney and Painting the Map Red: The Fight to Create a Permanent Republican Majority.

Now available in twin-ply for severely chapped asses…
