The rally continued unabated in July, with major indexes
posting very solid gains for the month. This still feels like
a bear market rally, so if you are long in the market right
now, keep your stop orders tight.
As of the close of the market Friday, the Rapid Growth System
was up 7% for the month, the Aggressive Growth
System was up about 21% for the month, and the S&P500 was
up about 6.5% for the same period.
The following table
shows where we stand, year to date:
S&P 500 (YTD) |
+9% |
Rapid Growth System (YTD) |
-0.5% |
Aggressive Growth System (YTD) |
+65% |
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

do not follow this method, but the top 30 service was
requested by many subscribers, so we're happy to provide it.
