And this is only for the handful of penny stocks he calls the explore part. Imagine what he could do with a whole portfolio and real money? Tell your boys that if you don’t want to be embarrassed by an honest newsletter record of great results, then stop attacking and misrepresenting my results. You should tell your posse here I'm proud of my record. Of course it has difficult periods. Who would not expect some down time after gaining 117% in 1999 or 77% in 2003? 2005: +13.2% [QQQQ +1.2%] 2004: -4.2% [QQQQ +9.5%] 2003: +76.7% [QQQQ +49.6%] 2002: -21.2% [QQQQ -37.4%%] 2001: 1.27% [QQQQ -33.3%%] 2000: -11% [QQQQ -36.1%] 1999: +117% [NASDAQ +85.6% (no QQQQ ETF)] Explain to your posse that I recommend my newsletter explore portfolio as a replacement for the money you recommended in things like TEFQX, QQQQ, FIUIX, JAOLX and SGROX that you recommended in your 2000 Marketimer news letter. I’m about flat this year, just like you, but Overall my newsletter portfolio is up HONESTLY nearly 195% since 12/31/98 while the S&P500 is up a mere 15%. My portfolio seems to go in spurts… where now is the time I’m using profit taking dollars from earlier in the year when I was up 14% to buy back cheaper shares. You might try that sometime rather than talk about gift horse buying opportunities you miss because you are fully invested in corrections. If your boy shres is going to post my record from selected periods, you might want to give a link to where people can get the full story xrl.us This was done, not with penny stocks like Lucent, but with real companies such as Citigroup, FedEx, AMAT, LRCX and even UTEK. You should also tell your posse to not lie about me. I had real money invested in all the securities in my portfolio and I have done quite well for myself. We do have some in common with our readers. Some are jealous of your “Marketimer” golf ball business just like some are jealous of some of the ideas we tried at Suite101 to make money such as Pal Pal donations and getting paid to read advertisements. Who’d have thought such fun ideas would cause such angst for a handful? Have a good weekend Your buddy Kirk xrl.us
