Well he beat the indexes. Not by much but a win is a win. Also keep in mind he has so many restraints trading in and out of that thing because of his show.
Here are my realized sell totals for the week so far. I will try to make an effort to post the daily results everynight. Tuesday: $753.40 Wednesday: $512.64 Thursday: $626.68 Not a bad start to the month. I'm only holding 5 positions for $25k, and all are positive unrealized. Net P&L since inception: $8,268.67 I want to make around $31,000-$40,000 by the end of October 2006 in order to get 25-32% return on the year. Hopefully I can get this goal. Attached is the spreadsheet.
I noticed that alot of his picks, atleast in december, gapped and crapped. MCHX,BCR,UST,CTHR,ALJ,CYNO,URS Just to name a few... Maybe a better system would be to short his picks. LOL
If you're a scalper shorting his picks is a good idea off the open (this is why I wait until around 9:40-10am est. to buy), but long term I don't think it is such a great idea. Right now at the close out of the 130 positions I track on average they are up 4.71%. The system actually made money on 3 of those stocks you named. It's all about timing I guess and having good money management with stops and knowing when to take winners. ____________________________________________ Realized $ today: $268 Total realized for week: $2,161 Attached is the spreadsheet.
