The market bottomed on Thursday, August 16th and I wrote an essay the very next day entitled "Looking to Go Long." Had you purchased the top ten stocks ranked by VST as of August 17th and held them through yesterday, you would have been up 25.27% with 10 winners and no losers.
Of course that is hindsight, but here's what I said on August 17th: "If you're an Aggressive investor or Trader, you should have bought stocks today. If you're a Prudent Investor, you should be getting your shopping list ready. If you're Riding-the-Wave, as we do in the Model Portfolio, you should be checking strategies with which to go long."
Just as I had expected, we got the signal to go long on Wednesday, August 21st. The Model Portfolio is up 19.55% since then and closed yesterday, up 54.70% so far this year. Clearly, it has been a wonderful time to make money in stocks since the market bottomed on August 16th. The question is, however, have you been making money?
If you have not made money over the last eight weeks, please give us a call. Tell us what you think has gone wrong and we will work with you to correct it. We are not Investment Advisors and will not make specific stock recommendations. But we can show you how to make money with VectorVest.
The process is very simple: We wait for the market to go into an uptrend; then we buy high VST stocks. We don't necessarily buy the top VST stocks shown in Stock Viewer all time, so we show you how to use the UniSearch tool. It contains over 200 strategies that you could use when the market goes up. Seventy seven percent of these strategies have made money since August 17th. Which are the best strategies?
Simply look at our "Strategy of the Week" illustrations. We show you how to use the UniSearch tool and manage a portfolio over and over again with our selections of the best strategies. This week we will be illustrating a wonderful new strategy called "AC's Climbers." It shows you how to buy good stocks in the fastest rising Industry Groups. Visit the VectorVest University to see how it's done. You'll love it.
With VectorVest and the market in rally mode, you should be Making Money.
ELIMINATION OF PINK SHEET ADRs.
American Depository Receipts represent ownership in the shares of a foreign company trading on U.S. financial markets. Most of these shares have been trading on the New York and American stock exchanges until recently. Since the costs for being listed on these exchanges have gone up a great deal over the last few years, many of these ADRs have switched to Pink Sheets.
Unfortunately, we have found that it is impossible to get closing Price and Volume for these Pink Sheet ADRs on the day they close. This means that the Price and Volume data you have been getting on Pink Sheet ADRs has been a day late. We cannot accept this situation because it poses potential liability issues. Therefore, we have been eliminating these stocks from the database. If you have any questions, please call Product Support at 1-888-658-7638.
