This months newsletter is being published on 8/7/2011, so
all statistics for performance will be based on market activity
on 8/8/2011 for the July and August model portfolios. 

The stock markets have been taking it on the chin, so to
speak, for the last month, especially the last couple of
weeks.  There is a lot of concern about the state of the
economy in many countries around the world, including
the U.S.  Once again, keep your stop loss orders
tight, because the volatility we're currently seeing could
last a little longer than we'd like.

As of the close of the market Friday, the Rapid Growth System 
was down about -11% for the period, the Aggressive Growth 
System was down about -11% for the period, and the S&P500 was 
down about -9% for the same period.  The following table 
shows where we stand, year to date:

S&P 500 (YTD) -5%
Rapid Growth System (YTD) -23%
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) -22%

We will not know the official results of either portfolio until 
after we make our trades on Monday 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, just
click on the above link to view them. 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 8/8/11.  This months
