Assumptions - Performance numbers below assume our basic trading rules are followed meaning
1)the stock is not purchased until the downtrend has been broken unless it has already been broken at
the time its featured (the downtrend as defined when the stock was picked in the Weekly Alert). 2) A
limit order for a 7% gain is placed immediately after purchase unless a specific target price is
mentioned. 3) The limit order is canceled and the stock is sold at the next open price if the price closes
below the uptrend support level.
*** We started giving specific target prices on most of our trades starting in mid April of '05.
Definitions:
Featured Date - Date Weekly Alert was sent to subscribers (Was released prior to next days market
open).
Entry Price - Approximate market open price the day after breaking downtrend resistance, or the first
market open price on or after Featured Date if the downtrending resistance was already broken.
Max Gain - Maximum percent gain before breaking intermediate or long-term support.
Max Decrease - The lowest price achieved after theoretical entry before Max Gain was reached or the
market open price after intermediate or long-term support was broken. (Max Decrease is the loss if (L)
appears in far right column below.)
Days Reached - Approximate number of trading days it took to reach Max Gain or before long-term
support was violated.
Days to Target Gain - Approximate number of trading days from entry date until stock reached target
price or 7% gain if no specific target price was mentioned in weekly alert.
(W - theoretical winning trade using above assumptions.)
(L - theoretical losing trade using above assumptions).
** Trade was not made because stock closed below the uptrend support before the downtrend
resistance was broken with a closing price.
* Has not broken long-term uptrend support as of 8/19/05.
