Morning Doug,

I just saw this post and it stopped me short. Nice return on the top 5!! Especially with the market upheaval the past few months, this is very impressive.

Could you tell me how it works? Is it quite simply..."buy" the first 5 in the top 100 list and replace any that fall from top 5 with new top 5's?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
if you are new to trading you probably don't understand the skewed percentages of what Doug has posted. unless you buy at the proper entry and sell at the proper exit none of these numbers mean you are going to end up with these percentage gains. although these percentages are probably correct, over the year to date period, they don't guarantee anything and doug himself most likely has traded very few of them, if any, for swing trades of any duration. It looks nice and to someone like yourself appears like all you have to do is to buy the top 5 and replace them as they fall out of or enter into his top 5 but believe me it doesn't work like that. you had better go out and build a wide base of technical and fundamental knowledge to enable yourself to analyze any of these stocks and where they are at in their cycles or chart patterns before you buy anything. all of these stocks cycle up and down over the course of a long time period, such as "year to date" and unless you catch them at the right time in the right pattern you are going to end up losing alot more than you gain regardless of what has been posted here.
a much better scenario would be to see the analysis of each individual stock and trade, the planning behind it, and the strategy for each entry, exit, and result of the trade and something more concrete with consistent proven results. besides ibd is a terrible comparison to guage anything by in any market other than MAYBE a full blown bull uptrend.
this list may be a decent starting place to take and research their charts for possible setups and trades but to give a "carte blanche" to the list and buy all of the top 5 stocks without full consideration of numberous other factors is going to turn out to be a bad bet.

Matt...your question has come up before...Below I am pasting an answer I posted on June 6th.

But before I post the old answer I would like to say that the IIC 100 is presented as a List of Ideas ONLY...It is not a list of recommendations...The stocks simply meet the criteria I enter. It is purely mechanical.

The IIC 100 is also a better list in an uptrending market...at one time this year the Top 5 were collectively up 56.30% (July 6th). But since I post it every week regardless of what the indices are doing, the overall results are at the mercy of the market.

Last year only the Top 10 were tracked...The IIC 100 Top 10 was +26.86% last year. However, the high for the year was +34.45% on May 6th.

In reviewing this week's list I was hard pressed to present a Chart of the Week...I almost decided not to post one...However, I picked GIGM as the best of the worst looking charts I have seen this year.

Another thought, which used to be tracked by others, is to take my list and the IBD 100 and concentrate on those that are on both lists. Last week there were 33 and this week there are 31. This week that calculates out to 40% because I have 23 that are under $15. (31 divided by 77).

Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to post the IBD 100...But if you have access to it you can track the Combo List yourself.

As I say on my Stockcharts.com page:

The IIC 100 is not a list of recommendations...They simply meet some basic criteria...Notably, fundamental criteria. One of my trading philosophies is to watch the best fundamental stocks for a buy when the technicals are right.

Ski mentions that he does not think the comparison to the IBD 100 is fair. I disagree with him because my list is designed to do better in a Full Blown Uptrend and I believe the IBD 100 is too...So what's the difference???. But there is one thing that gives me an edge IMO...The fact that I include lower priced stocks...For example, CRNT is both an IIC 100 and IBD 100 darling. CRNT debuted on the IIC 100 on April 2nd. It had closed at 5.68 on the previous Friday. As far as I know, IBD has a minimum price of $15 so they missed the approx. 200% increase that I got.

Perhaps a comparison of our Under $10 lists would be good???...But I don't have access to the IBD Under $10 list so I really don't know. But I have wondered why IBD has an Under $10 List and an apparent Over $15 list...What happens to all those in between???

Here is my post on 6/6/07:

I don't calc it...It is done independently by others.

Here is my understanding:

At the beginning of the year all stocks are taken at the open (in the top 5 or 10)...Then the avg. % gain/loss is reported for the week.

The following week (and subsequent weeks) are calc'd that if a stock is new the following week then you use Monday's open...If it is a repeat then you use the previous Friday's close etc...I think the results are compounded.

The problem is (although it is a fair comparison...and they compare against other lists that I'm not at liberty to reveal too) is that in the real world nobody knows which ones will be dropped for the following week until after Friday's close...I could run my IIC 100 scan for the following week in R/T 5 mins before the previous Friday close....I don't do that but even if I did there could be some after hours adjustments...And IBD sure as heck isn't gonna do it....So you can't sell at Friday's close because you don't know which ones will be dropped for next week.

My suggestion...Both lists are only a guide...There's plenty of times when I would like to manually remove some...But I don't since I offer it as a Mechanical Scan ONLY...The comparison is presented ONLY to show that people can get a better list of ideas for free than they can by paying an arm and a leg.

I can say with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the IIC 100 is more forward looking than the IBD 100...I think the last few years prove that...Will it always be?...I don't know...But at least you don't have to pay me to find out...And you NEVER will.

In conclusion...All I'm trying to do is offer people some NEW IDEAS at no charge...Perhaps some day I might charge for something???...But it won't be for the IIC 100.

Thanks For Asking,

Best, Doug(IIC)
