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.



Well, it took a couple of weeks but CSII finally broke thru as a 100% gainer. As of this writing it is up about 105%.

I saw that!

I think investors are expecting a deal in the works with an airline. I assume you know, but for anyone not up to date, a company that provides internet service while flying.

What's this? NVEE up 10%+ today because of an acquisition they're making? That's not the way my picks work.....they don't acquire....they get acquired. Sacre Bleu!!

you do not need to be right 100% of the time. Above 50% beats the professionals, mostly.

Not quite. If my average per pick gains are twice as large as my average per pick losses, what % of the time do I need to be right?

I perceive this as either a trick question or one with a long answer. I will be back, but now I'm late. Luv your MLB 'dog' thread. The Braves made you some money in the last couple days.
Later, cheers! 2F

Wow. Not only is CSII now a 100% gainer, but FLDM is picking up some steam. Up in excess of 9% today and is +61% since having been picked......also in January with CSII. January is looking to have been an awfully good month...........

EGHT is a current holding in the portfolio. They reported earnings yesterday that were quite good. Made it to a 52 week high today and pulled back. I suspect that the rise will resume in the not too distant future. I see fair value to be at over $14. Assuming it gets there, I will probably consider exiting (barring some other news event).



Well, it certainly took long enough. Exited EGHT today.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I now declare the recent market swoon as being over (sshhh....don't tell anybody 'cuz then the market will head down). I believe that the numbskulls who believe that the world is going to get crushed under falling oil prices are out and done selling. Fleeced as usual by the street. Fleeced by an illusion, a mirage, and a lot of terrible media reporting. Falling oil is a positive for most industries, although yes some do get hurt. I read an article where the producers in Eagle Basin (at least I think it was Eagle Basin) in Texas have a current breakeven of $22.52. If that's true then low oil prices will be the norm. Allelujah!!



Not a bad call. S&P up 9.27% since this.................

Since I made one good macro call. Let's see if I can make a second.
Britain will vote to remain in the EU next week and the market will move up by about 5%.

The market will recover.

In the meantime, look upon it as an opportunity to buy at a discount.

The following group of 5 is coming out of the new test portfolio, which contain 5 picks out of each month of stock screen runs that I believe have the best chance of being 100% gainers. I had one 100% gainer out of the group I chose from the January stock screen.


Symbols Name Screen Run Date Cost Ea. % Gain
NMBL Nimble Storage Inc 1/30/2016 $6.57 21.61%
CGNT Cogentix Medical Inc 1/30/2016 $1.03 0.00%
SMCI Super Micro Computer 1/30/2016 $29.78 -15.35%
CSII Cardiovascular Systems 1/30/2016 $8.45 108.28%
FLDM Fluidigm Corporation 1/30/2016 $6.71 40.09%
Average of the 5 Picks 1/30/2016 $52.54 31.05%
S&P 500 since 01/30/16 $1,940.24 5.00%


They beat the crap out of the S&P 500. The S&P was up a mere 5% while my group of 5 had gains of 31.05%. Also, my group of 5 picks that I've closed out have averaged a 15.20% gain while the S&P hit a lousy 1.19% gain.

Closed group of 5 positions:

Screen Run Date Exit Date Picks Cost Picks $ Gain (Loss) Picks % Gain Annualized Rate S&P Cost S&P $ Gain (Loss) S&P % Gain Picks Vs. S&P
11/4/2015 4/22/2016 $4,985.56 $640.01 12.84% 27.18% $2,110.60 -$19.02 -0.90% 13.74%
12/27/2015 5/20/2016 $4,966.27 $84.28 1.70% 4.21% $2,057.77 -$5.45 -0.26% 1.96%
1/30/2016 6/24/2016 $4,977.37 $1,545.54 31.05% 76.56% $1,940.24 $97.06 5.00% 26.05%
Total Closed $14,929.20 $2,269.83 15.20% $6,108.61 $72.59 1.19% 14.02%


A new stock run will be done shortly, followed by my pick of the new group of 5 that will be added to the updated test model portfolio.

Just random musings....................
If England somehow does not reverse its decision to exit the EU then look for a bloodbath in the stock markets in Oct., 2017.
Definitely we will have recessionary times.....and probably a depression.

A new stock screen will be run this coming Saturday or Sunday. A new group of 5 100% gainer picks will be added. The oldest 5 will be sold off with an awfully nice return, once again.

Here is the composite performance of the picks that have been closed out of the test portfolio. Nice returns. Gaining more and more confidence in this method of creating a portfolio. Kicking the ass out of S&P returns. Test picks have had a gain or 15.08% while the S&P has returned a paltry 3.72%. A triple or quadruple up of the S&P....

I could not find 5 from the current screen run to add to the portfolio. All of the picks, except for 4, are in still in the current test portfolio. The 4 I am adding include 2 from the most current sales and 2 from the November screen run that were previously sold.

The 4 adds are:

the one thing you can say for sure, is anybody who claims to know whether the market is going up or down this week, or any week, is 'full of it'. Unless some major traumatizing event is underway, of course.

I can tell you with absolute certainty which way the next 100 percent swing will be.

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



It took a couple of months, but it got close. I got out of SNCR at $41.38. I would have waited a bit longer, but I really didn't like the recent financial report so I got out. Pretty good return.

I see where Infoblox (BLOX) is up 70.79% as of this morning. Nearing a 100% Gainer.
I'll be running a new stock screen this coming weekend and will update the current stock screen portfolio.

I should act on your stock picks rather than just casually watching them.
Still, nice gainer!

Good to see you posting.
I saw some concern expressed over your absence for a bit there.

A little slow here, but here we go. The 5 coming out of the 100% gainer portfolio are:


Symbols Name Screen Run Date Cost Ea. Gain
FLML Flamel Tech. S.A. (ADR) 3/25/2016 $10.74 $175.77
SEDG Solaredge Technologies... 3/25/2016 $24.24 -$352.19
AAOI Applied Optoelectronics... 3/25/2016 $15.79 $436.59
ACOR Acorda Therapeutics Inc 3/25/2016 $25.79 -$226.86
VRTU Virtusa Corporation 3/25/2016 $33.94 -$321.61
Total of the 5 Picks 3/25/2016 -$288.30
S&P 500 since 03/25/16 $2,035.94 $117.80


Pretty terrible performance out of this group that was selected on 03/25/16.

The picks that have been closed out, in total, are still doing awfully well despite the March group's performance. 678 basis points better than the S&P performance over the same period.

I'll be running a new stock screen today and choosing 5 from the run to add to the portfolio.
