Give me the courage Lord, to sail my boat out from the shore;

For I'd rather know the Ocean's gale, and hear the Tempests' roar,

than anchor safely in some bay, because Fear conquered me;

Let craft less daring inland stay, be mine the pathless Sea.

Performance of Model Stocks between Jan 01, 2006 and Feb 14, 2007

 

I looked at 3 scenarios

1) My newsletter trades with my buy and sell prices

2) What would have happened if you simply bought all of the model stocks and held them

3) What was the maximum percent gain a model stock achieved after it was placed in the newsletter

 

Newsletter Trades:

Largest Gainer was AOB at 71.4%

Largest Loser was BRLC at (17.5%)

73 Model Stocks : 43 winners averaged 14.71% gain

                                 29 losers averaged  6.46% loss

                                   1 no gain

** the way I trade minimizes losses

 

 

Buy And Hold:

Largest Gainer was HRT at 132.2%

Largest Loser was ATI at (79.7%)

73 Model Stocks : 44 winners averaged 34.64% gain

                                 29 losers averaged  22.9% loss

 

** this is good for tax purposes (if you're in the money), but you have to stress through large draw downs in your portfolio

 

 

Maximum Average Gain after placed in Newsletter Model

Largest Gainer was COGO at 150.2%

Every stock has some appreciation after in model

The average appreciation of 73 Model Stocks after placed in model was 36.0% gain

**This is an excellent gain after placed in newsletter; Traders should be able to do very well
