Investment newsletter that guarantees to beat the stock market has released their returns through the first seven months of 2005.
(PRWEB) August 2, 2005 -- BeatTheStockMarket.com, an online investment newsletter that guarantees to out-perform the S&P 500, released their returns through the first seven months of 2005. Since inception in 1998, the model portfolio has returned 33.9% per year (817.1% overall), has produced a gain each year, has beaten the S&P 500 seven out of seven years, and is out-performing the S&P 500 year-to-date. Sell signals for the portfolio have an average return of 82.3% while portfolio turnover is low. Seventy-two percent of the portfolios stocks have resulted in a gain.
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 out-performed Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway stock over the last seven years (817.1% versus Berkshire's 81.5%).
Following are a few of the stocks from the newsletters model portfolios and the stocks performance:
- Marine Products Corp. +539.3%
- Fording Canadian Coal Trust +539.2%
- LifePoint Hospitals +290.3%
- Gen-Probe Inc. +266.7%
- Cavco Industries +183.5%
- Zimmer Holding +157.1%
- Rockwell Collins +150.2%
- Ambassadors Group +138.7%
- Altria +122.0%
- Cimarex Energy +143.7%
- Imagistics International Inc. +129.4%
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 on average. This new methodology, started late last summer, has provided subscribers with a return of 54.2% while the S&P 500 rose only 9.4%. Annualized, this portfolio's return is 63.9% per year after factoring in the cost of commissions.
For investors who don't have the funds to invest in all of the stocks of the Short-Term Portfolio, the editors of the website select a handful of stocks from the Short-Term Portfolio that they believe have the most potential for explosive growth. These stocks are labeled "Double Allocation" stocks, and their return is 85.2% in less than 11 months. That's the annualized equivalent of 102.4% per year. These returns assume that profits are not reinvested. If profits were reinvested, the gain would jump to 161% in less than 11 months.
BeatTheStockMarket.com also features a model option portfolio. Thus far, in its first two years of existence, the portfolio has returned 48.1% per option with an average holding period of 6.7 months. This is equivalent to an annualized return of 101.3% per year. Below are a few of the call options recommended by the newsletter and the options 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 (+26.7% per year, +69.9% overall) easily surpasses that of the S&P 500.
The newsletter offers a 21-day free trial that allows prospective subscribers to view all recommended portfolios. They also offer a guarantee that is unique in the industry: they will out-perform the S&P 500, or the subscription will be free.
