The rally stalled in August, with major indexes trading in a
range, but ending the month with small gains. Our stance on
this market remains that we are in a bear market rally, so it
is prudent to set stop orders under your long positions
right now.
As of the close of the market today, the Rapid Growth System
was flat for the month, the Aggressive Growth
System was up about 1% for the month, and the S&P500 was
up about 3% for the same period.
The following table
shows where we stand, year to date:
S&P 500 (YTD) |
+13% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
+2% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
+72% |
We will not know the official results of either portfolio until
after we make our trades on Tuesday 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 9/1/09. This months
