Darth, that strikes me as a good strategy. Ron

I have been using VectorVest for about one month. Someone on another SI posted a link with the ratings on a stock I owned. I decided to take a trial run and have had very good luck so far. I have found it very useful in selecting stocks that are the cream of the crop. My current buys have been IDTC, MTG, CPQ and KRB. The market has been pretty good the past month so I may be getting a false reading, but so far so good. I was contacted by a gentleman from VV to see how I was enjoying the program. I told him everything was great but I would like to see numbers real time from the web. He said that currently they only have numbers on day in arrears and he does not know when and if they can give real time information. VV is a good tool, but you still need to do the dd or you could get burned. Any comments?

Backtesting over the last several months reveals the new highs strategy works well coming out of a correction. Ran a scan to find the VV industry groups that had the most number of stocks making new 52-week highs on January 16 and January 30 produced the following industries (non-growth industries such as utilities were ignored): Telecom - Services Software - Business Leisure - Services Computer - Services Bus Services - Misc Drugs - Ethical Cosmetics & Personal Care Using the Portfolio Builder to construct a portfolio of 10 stocks from these groups using the Bottle Rockets strategy yields a 2 month return of 34% and 35%, respectively. Stocks in one portfolio were: ANLT, DSTM, NSOL, RXSD, SVR, STRX, and THRX. When one leaves off the Drugs - Ethical and Cosmetics & Personal Care groups and focuses on the top 5, you have: ANLT, DSTM, FSRVF, IDTC, NSOL, PGEX, SAPE, SVR, and STRX. Only RXSD and SVR lost money, less than 10%. Also, those stocks were much higher during the two months also.
