David Tice, the former Federated Investors fund manager who correctly predicted the bear marketBloomberg Terminal in October 2007, is wagering that a film about a one-armed teen surfer will be a big hit.

The Dallas-based investor is executive producer and said he provided two-thirds of the $15 million budget for “Soul Surfer,” a film based on Hawaiian surfing champion Bethany Hamilton, who returned to competition three months after losing her left arm in a shark attack in 2003.
