What makes a Mummy

Mummies were doing this before X existed. They've been through the dot-com bust, 2008 and every rate cycle since, and they're still here, which is rarer than it sounds.

The other mummies

Here since the dot-com bust.

  1. No. 01: Jim Cramer@jimcramer

    Has called markets since the dot-com era, and every cycle since has gone through his desk.

    Four decades in portfolio management and still putting money behind the next big disruption.

  3. No. 04: David Rosenberg@EconguyRosie

    Merrill Lynch's ex-chief economist, still calling cycles from Toronto after living through most of them.

    Created the MOVE Index, so the bond market has measured its own fear in his units ever since.
