A study of past Marketimer issues shows two long-term stockpicks that have been in the newsletter for years. One is Microsoft initially recommended for purchase and called the "tech stock of the nineties" in August 1990 Marketimer at $4 per share split adjusted. The other is Vodafone recommended as the quality cellular play in 1989 at initial recommendation of $16.75 split adjusted. Last time I checked Microsoft is $81 and Vodafone is $91. So Microsoft is up nineteen times or 1900% and Vodafone is up over 440%. I would imagine including these two huge winners in the performance record would provide a massive boost to any so called stock performance figures. And these were actual recommendations in Marketimer, not just "TV" stocks to consider. And my March 9 Business Week now rates Marketimer #2 in the country for market return for the ten years through 1997 with annual gains of close to 16%. And Model Portfolios I and II of all equities are both now closing in on 300% gains for ten years. Obviously there has been tons of money to be made.
