Overall "performance" of the newsletter can be summarized as follows:

• Our comments on general market conditions, or trend, based on an extensive family of technical indicators, have consistently kept our readers on the "right side" of the market during the decade of the '90's and the fairly severe market reaction that took place following the market excesses of that period.
• Stocks flagged in the newsletter as attractive for purchase have consistently moved upward, on average, since the flagging system was introduced in the mid-1990's.
• During periods when the overall market trend was up, price increases of highly rated stocks have often been spectacular.
• Investment exclusively in our flagged growth stocks and aggressively managing the portfolio would have produced average gains on the order of three times the DJIA gains in the late 1990's bull market. Note: There are exceptions, so traders striving for short term gains using flagged stocks should watch price trends closely and use protective stops on all positions.
• Our family of technical momentum tools has strongly signified every significant short and intermediate term market move since 1990. In most cases these indicators have provided at least a few days, typically 2-5, of warning about impending overall short term market trend changes, and much more warning of likely longer term changes.
• The investment candidates in our income area list rated best by our computer rating system have grown at rates comparing favorably on average to the DJIA since the mid-1990's.
• The average stocks in our growth area lists grew about 27.5% in 2003.  The most highly rated stocks in those lists did considerably better than that, but the data are not available to present an exact figure.

Note: Successful past performance does not assure future success. It is, however, one of the few measures available by which one can assess the potential for making successful future investment decisions.
