I don't check your numbers, but it would seem so. A lot of very well paid stock pickers have done no better and sometimes much worse than the market. Many, many, never believed the oil prices would stay low so long.


if long term surplus, then oil HAS to go lower since there's only a finite space to store it.
(and that cap is approaching this summer.)

unless production is cut, I see $20 oil by fall.

I can see where, barring a large war, oil prices will stay low and may never recover.

Since I had some time on my hands, and since the market is doing OK, I thought that I would take a look at the top 5 picks to double from each the respective stock screen runs. Overall, I'm very, very happy with the results. However, I am really disappointed in missing out on ELMD from the 12/27 stock screen run. A Christmas present that I overlooked. Up 155+% since then.

I am reading about a lot of money being invested by savvy tech co. owners into a new technology called "neural imprinting."

Seems a way to ease / end pain via electronic, not chemical means.

Given all the folks with chronic back problems and other painful conditions, such a technology could be profitable.

Any idea what company or companies a curious investor should take a look at in regard to this?

I recall seeing someone who conjectured that the company, referred to by the stock gumshoes' article about neural imprinting, was NVDA. I had dismissed researching further since I thought that NVDA was overpriced.

"hearing" a stock is hot from a stock broker or a friend probably means the stock was hot ... you could easily be coming very late to this party.
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

Below are the results of the top 5 picks of each month's screen runs. I'm posting these just because I had noticed how well they have done. Frankly I'm thrilled with the results so far even though there seems to be a little bit of a good month/bad month pattern. Thank God for up markets. Now if I can just figure out how exactly to incorporate this into my portfolio.............

I have NVIV in my portfolio and I have to say that it is well undervalued. Current market cap is around $200M and I believe that it will become several billion once their scaffold is approved. I believe that the chances are excellent that it will get quick approval. What will really drive this is the approval and then the stepped up PR on being able to combine the scaffold with stem cells. That will be the real huge revenue producer, but I believe that the approval and then the promise will drives this up considerably. Just my 2 cents worth......and remember that's all this opinion is worth.

Hey man,

I've been looking to start investing in stocks, and think this company you mentioned is interesting. I'm currently dealing with a couple of disc herniations, so maybe the issue is close to home haha. Anyway, like with all of the topics of discussion on this site a bigger bank roll is always recommended, I imagine. However, I'm rather young (22) and don't have the income to support huge investments like what you've shown from your portfolio. If I was interested in investing in NVIV and wanted to start with the minimum deposit requirement of a site like eTrade, do you think that's even worth it? The company does seem to show promise, based on recent news.


Thanks!

Hey,
Yes. It's worth it. We have all started somewhere. You should, however, only invest an amount that you are comfortable in losing. Good Luck!

I see where I have failed to post my personal portfolio selections for several months. Here we go...

I'll be exiting both FCEL and RKUS today. RKUS will have a nice return by virtue of their being bought by Brocade. FCEL will be at a loss and was just a plain old dumb pick on my part and I just want to extricate myself from it.

I'm rather young (22) and don't have the income to support huge investments like what you've shown



if you don't have the money to invest properly you risk bad results by picking individual stocks. Your best bet is to diversify with funds in a 401k or an IRA.

being a gambler, in my younger days I would invest more in stocks than recommended, and I often got bad results. The typical scenario was, just as I really needed the money and had to withdraw, like after losing my job, that would be the time too that stocks would be way down.

I'll be adding SNCR to the portfolio on Monday, presuming of course that there is no early large move due to news being released. My expectation would to exit this issue at around $42.

Oh I totally get that. What I meant, though, was that I don't have the income to support steeldco's scale of investments. My starting stock investment was my tax return for this year ($500). I hope to use this money to begin to learn the stock market and, if I'm smart and lucky, to make a profit!

We've had another 100% gainer. This one is from 01/26/16 stock screen. Unfortunately it wasn't one of my top 5 picks from that run.......
The 100% gainer is DDD- 3D Systems Corporation.

I found the below from a news clip from Business Wire about SNCR (my most recent addition). It seems that Forbes is a little slow.....

Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (SNCR), the leader in mobile cloud innovation and software-based activation for mobile carriers, enterprises, retailers and OEMs around the world, today announced its inclusion in the Forbes Fast Tech 25 list of the 25 fastest growing tech companies.

FORBES’ annual Fast Tech 25 list is about finding the firms with superior growth (both past and projected), along with a solid earnings-quality score from Value Line. Forbes evaluated more than 5,000 publicly traded technology companies, looking for profitable companies with a minimum revenue of $150 million and a minimum market value of $500 million. They also assessed firms with sales growth of at least 10% for each of the past three fiscal years and over the latest 12 months.

The final list is ranked by trailing three years of revenue growth. Fifteen companies on the Fast Tech 25 had less than $1 billion in sales over the last year, as well as some large companies with stellar growth such as Facebook, Amazon and Alphabet. Synchronoss which ranked #7, was featured as a company with a three-year average sales growth of 29%

“We are honored to be listed in the top 25 fastest growing tech companies by Forbes,” said Steve Waldis, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Synchronoss. “Synchronoss keeps innovation at the heart of everything we do, and in the ever changing tech landscape, it’s important to evolve and offer creative solutions to provide the highest level of service to our clients.”

By the way, the range of the annualized rate of return for these groups went from a low of 21.35% for the December picks, to a high of 120.11% for the group of 5 in January.

In thinking about this I am wondering how to use this to structure a portfolio. I'm kind of leaning towards a rolling 5 months of picks.
That would make for 25 total stocks at any one point in time. I would be investing less per issue but be more diversified. I'm intrigued with the annualized returns that are being produced. I may rotate 5 in and 5 out on a monthly basis to see what the results might be.

As I stated before, I am going to attempt to construct a portfolio based upon my top 5 picks made out of each month's screen run.
My intention to peg the portfolio size at 25. Therefore, it will contain the last 5 months' of top 5 picks. As a new month is run, I will add the new 5 and remove the oldest 5. Recording the gains or losses made in order to further develop this. This is all being done in attempt to find a systematic way of investing profitably.

Since this month's 5 will put the port at 30, I am going to remove the oldest 5 (from November). The results are as follows:

Screen Run Date Picks Cost Picks $ Gain (Loss) Picks % Gain S&P Cost S&P $ Gain (Loss) S&P % Gain Picks Vs. S&P
11/4/2015 47.49 4.51 9.50% 2110.6 -19.02 -0.90% 8.60%



So with the closing of these 5 positions I would have beaten the S&P by a good sized margin. I realize this is imperfect in that I am just taking the last closing price. In the real world it would be somewhat different. For now it will suffice for this testing.

It looks to me like the current portfolio with a gain of 6.24% would equate to an annualized rate of 29.97% (6.24/2.5 average age of pick*12/2.5). The closed positions yielded an annualized rate of 20.11%. Very small sample rate, but it's looking interesting.

Also, if someone with better math skills, can confirm that I correctly calculated the annualized rate it would be greatly appreciated.

Just a brief update. It looks like CSII will be the first one to 100% gains. It is at a 84% gain as of today. I fully expect to hit on at least one of these every 5-6 months.

I'll be adding SNCR to the portfolio on Monday, presuming of course that there is no early large move due to news being released. My expectation would to exit this issue at around $42.



I'm halfway home to getting to $42. It is at $36.61 as I write this.

I didn't buy TWTR when it went public because it was a young company with an unclear picture of growth.

Now it has matured, has steady revenue, and has plenty of potential to tap it's wealth of users, traffic and data for more revenue. And it's cheaper than ever at 10bn market cap. I likr this price point and feel confident that growth will continue.

This is not a recommendation to buy, and I own shares.

I see where this morning, one of the picks from 04/23, BLOX, has received a takeover offer. Up 20+%. What I am finding very interesting is the number of these picks that get taken over. Since my algorithm includes a measure of undervaluation, I am going to guess that part of the screening process is spot on.

I'll be running a new stock screen today. Also, I will be changing the method by which I construct the portfolio. In the past, I have assumed a purchase of 1 share in each pick. I am now going to change it to be based upon a set $ amount invested per pick. I will be using $1,000 to invest per pick. I believe that this new method will increase gains dramatically.

LOL......interesting. Are skirt levels expected to get hiked up this year? If so, we should have a great market.

This is having a great day today. The January group of 5, with NMBL up around 25% on the day as I write this is looking phenomenal. One of the 5 picks is up 94% (CSII), a second one (FLDM) of the five is up around 43% and a third one (NMBL) is up around 41%. All in a short 4 month period.
