market101+ , 1 month scorecard for 17 favorite stocks. When your hot your hot.

During the past month there were 17 individual "favorite stocks" posted. These are: ZENX, HOM, TGC, VLO, CHK, PENN, IGT SHFL, COP, TM, AOB, GIGM, IFO, CRS, ATI, DXPE & GLW. The AVERAGE was a whopping 21% gain. For the same 1 month the DOW gained 2% and the NASDAQ lost 4%. The worst group was oil & gas stocks which were near zero change. The best category was the smaller cap stocks with the biggest gainers of over 30% being ZENX, HOM, TGC, GIGM, IFO, & DXPE. ALL STOCKS WERE NOT MENTIONED THE SAME TIME but since most were mostly about a month ago, a one month period was used. Most of us have a lucky streak and mine is now as my personal portfolio of a few of the above stocks gained over 21% . Since I am not making stock recommendations I do not intend to expend the added effort to keep a precise portfolio performance record. A big part of ones portfolio success is selling at a profitable time and this has not been part of my blog goal or reporting. My goal, the exchange of investment ideas, is just beginning to get some traction. I would be glad to further clarify any questions. Any of your thoughts or questions are appreciated- thank you.
