The indexes we like to follow - the S&P 500, NASDAQ
Composite, and of course the Dow Jones Industrial Index, all
had a nice run up in the last 10 days of April, allowing them
to all to post gains for the month. Oil continues to spike
upwards, along with other commodities, which may have a
slowing effect on the current economic "recovery". We've
been waving this flag for a while now, but still believe it is
worth pointing out again - the debt crisis in Europe is still not
resolved, and even though you're not seeing a lot of coverage
in the media about this right now, this issue has the potential
to shock the markets. It appears to be getting worse, so it is
just a matter of time before it gets bad enough for the media
to start picking it up again. Keep your stop loss orders tight.
As of the close of the market Friday, the Rapid Growth System
was down about -2% for the period, the Aggressive Growth
System was up about 1% for the period, 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) |
8% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
-1% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
-4% |
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 5/2/11. This months
