more stock info

[David Slimp]

I am going to start posting some info I get from a stock advisory service
that I am subscribed to.  For part of their service, they update their database
of several thousands of stocks each week with new projections of what a
computer algorithm has determined will be the best (and worst) preforming
stocks over the next few weeks.

These stocks may or may not preform as expected, but that is the reason
I am going to share some info for about a month or so.  We can all follow
the picks and see how they really do over time, and if they are accurate
enough to regularly put money in to.

Keep in mind that the subscription fee for their Stock Analysis Tool is $500/mo,
and you will have trading commissions as well, so let's see if it's worth the cost.

SO...
for last week, they said:

(ARD) - Arena Resources Inc	83.30%
(GEF) - Greif Inc	5.50%
(GRMN) - Garmin Ltd	82.10%
(RIMM) - Research In Motion Ltd	7.60%
(VSEA) - Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates Inc	-28.10%

And here is what those stocks did...

I set up 2 portfolios in Clear Station to help track these over time.
One portfolio (TT_1k) will show results based on ~$1,000/stock, while
the other (TT_2k) will show the results based on ~$2,000/stock, and
the idea is to help show everyone exactly how big the difference is
when you start putting higher dollar amounts in to each stock.

As you look as these, keep in mind the NET total is the amount we have gained so far.
This week we had all winners!  That's great!  But don't expect that all the time!
Notice the gain differences for these portfolios just over the 1 week time frame, and
based on the amount put in to each stock... paying particular attention to the fact
that the $10k portfolio net is well beyond the $1k portfolio multiplied by 10.
