Hi Q,
I really think you are playing the wrong stocks.
AGNT APAC CRDS FSTW GGNS INFO INOW ITRA MCHM MPET PRLS SCKT SCLD SOFO TIII VASO VITX VLFG VMTI VNWI were my picks. Since Dec 24th I've been in APAC CRDS FSTW GGNS INFO INOW ITRA MCHM SCKT SCLD SOFO TIII VASO VITX VLFG VMTI and already made a good 20% on my investments. In for a second round on MCHM, VASO, VITX. Nothing from SCLD, SOFO, VLFG yet and haven't touched AGNT, MPET, PRLS and VNWI.
A lot of the stocks you guys came up with were also on my radar. NOVT and NMGC looked great but they didn't have enough cash in the bank (I believe that these will do the best - but I have fear too!)
Anyways, here are my thoughts
1) I don't believe I am playing the Jan Effect in its truest sense.
2) Purchasing the lowest RS stocks under $2 during a market bottom at any time of the year seems to pay dividends.
3) Crappy stocks do best.
4) I seem to leave a fortune on the table every year. Last year I had RIGL at under $2, now it is $20+.
5) I love the last week of December and the first 2 weeks of January.
6) When ever I make a recommendation I get screwed. (But this time I have a sizeable RYVNX position which hasn't moved so I feel good.)
