The stock market traded in a range this month, with most
indexes finishing the month around the same level they
started at.  Oil prices have come down a little, which has
helped equity prices.  The credit crunch is still in full swing,
with major write-downs happening at financial institutions
on a regular basis.

As of the close of the market today, the Rapid Growth System 
was down -0.1%  for the month, the Aggressive Growth 
System was down about 5% for the month, and the S&P500 
was down about -1% for the same period.  The following table 
shows where we stand, year to date:

S&P 500 (YTD) -14%
Rapid Growth System (YTD) -14%
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) -18%

We will not know the official results of either portfolio until 
after we make our trades on Friday morning. Official 
results will be published on the web site. 

Just a reminder, the top 30 stocks picked by our computer 
program for both portfolios are listed on the web site. They 
are located in the password restricted area. This is done for 
subscribers who may want to hold stocks from previous 
month's newsletters, if they still are ranked in the top 30 by 
our computerized screening models. Our model portfolios 
do not follow this method, but the top 30 service was 
requested by many subscribers, so we're happy to provide it.

And now, here are this month's computer generated stock picks. 
Remember that each stock in both model portfolios should
represent ten percent of the value in their respective portfolios
based on the price they are purchased at on 8/1/08.  This months
stocks, which will be bought, or re-balanced, for the Rapid 
Growth System, on Friday, August 1, 2008, are:
