The rally continued for a second month, with the indexes that
we track all posting significant gains. The market seems to be
reacting to signs that the economic decline is decelerating -
we remain skeptical.
As of the close of the market today, the Rapid Growth System
was up 4.6% for the month, the Aggressive Growth
System was up about 26% for the month (you read that right),
and the S&P500 was up about 9.4% for the same period.
The following table shows where we stand, year to date:
S&P 500 (YTD) |
-3% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
-12% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
+21% |
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, 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.

represent ten percent of the value in their respective portfolios
based on the price they are purchased at on 5/1/09. This months
