This Stock-Selection Technique Has Beaten the Stock Market 6 Out of 6 Years, Including Year-to-Date
October 5, 2004 -- BeatTheStockMarket.com, an online investment newsletter that guarantees to beat the stock market, released their returns for the first nine months of 2004. The newsletter once again outperformed the S&P 500 through October 1 (a gain of 12.62% versus 0.2% for the S&P 500). For the past twelve months, their model stock portfolio returned 32.3%.
Since inception in 1998, the model portfolio has returned 34.1% per year (549.9% overall), has produced a gain each year, and has beaten the stock market six out of six years. Sell signals for the portfolio have an average return of 89.5% and portfolio turnover is low.
Even during the three-year bear market, their model portfolio produced gains each year. While the market lost (-39%) during the bear market, BeatTheStockMarket.com's model portfolio produced a gain (+21%).
The model stock portfolio has also easily outperformed Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway stock over the last six and a half years (549.9% versus Berkshire's 87.1%).
Following are a few of the stocks from the newsletter’s model portfolio and the stock’s performance following the newsletter's buy signal:
Marine Products Corp. +539.3% (recently sold)
Fording Canadian Coal Trust (FDG) 256.8%
Gen-Probe Inc. (GPRO) 236.7%
Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL) 162.2%
Zimmer Holdings (ZMH) 148.1%
Imagistics International Inc. (IGI) 130.1%
SCS Transportation Inc. (SCST) 117.0%
Cimarex Energy (XEC) 103.0%
While most of the newsletter's portfolios are designed for long-term investors, the newsletter has a Short-Term Portfolio in which individual stocks are held for only a few weeks. This new methodology, started in August, has provided subscribers with a return of 13.6% in six weeks, a period in which the S&P 500 rose only 2.9%. Annualized, this portfolio's return is 196.8% per year.
BeatTheStockMarket.com also features a model options portfolio. Thus far, in its first thirteen months of existence, the portfolio has returned 87.7%. Below are a few of the call options recommended by the newsletter and the option’s performance following the newsletter's buy signal:
-Zimmer Holdings +697.1% in only seven and a half months
-Cimarex Energy Co. +253.2% in only seven and a half months
-Rockwell Collins +240.8% in only five and a half months
In addition to individual stock recommendations, the company also has a model portfolio for mutual funds. The return of the portfolio (29.1% per year) easily surpasses that of the S&P 500.
The newsletter offers a 21-day free trial that allows prospective subscribers to view all of the recommended portfolios. They also offer a guarantee that is unique in the industry: they will beat the stock market, or the subscription will be free.
