So much for capitulation! What appears to be a bear market
rally started early in March, and gave long investors a little
relief from months of losses. The jury is still out on whether
or not the lows earlier this month will mark the low point for
this bear market (I don't think so).
As of the close of the market today, the Rapid Growth System
was up 9.2% for the month, the Aggressive Growth
System was up about 3% for the month, and the S&P500
was up about 8.5% for the same period.
The following table
shows where we stand, year to date:
S&P 500 (YTD) |
-12% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
-14% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
-2% |
We will not know the official results of either portfolio until
after we make our trades on Wednesday 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 4/1/09. This months
