The rally that started in March took a pause in October, giving
back all the gains made through the middle of the month. One
thing that really stood out was the weakness in the high beta
stocks this newsletter invests in. We have been calling this a
bear market rally since it began, and when investors start to
flee high risk stocks like ours, it could be a sign of general
market weakness to come.
As of the close of the market today, the Rapid Growth System
was down about -15% for the month, the Aggressive Growth
System was down about -12% for the month, and the S&P500 was
down about -2% for the same period.
The following table
shows where we stand, year to date:
S&P 500 (YTD) |
+15% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
-3% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
+61% |
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 11/2/09. This months
