I have 22 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better. How is this possible? Every day there are hundreds of stocks setting new highs, no matter what happens in the overall market. Many of these stocks are still at very reasonable valuations. Afraid of buying stocks at their highs? Think of it this way: a new high is really a future floor for companies with solid financial underpinnings. Quantitative momentum modeling makes it easy to identify stocks that can continue this upward momentum trend. Why does this happen? It's really very simple..ask me about what investors and cows have in common. I am $$$ MR. MARKET $$$. I AM HUGE!!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. You can join in on the fun.

Yes, I am aware of those postings. I couldn't play the screen if they weren't. I look at http://www.mechanicalinvestor.net/index.php, but that might be a dangerous place if you don't know what it is about.

Thanks - I found this link the other day -- from you I think -- and downloaded some of the info - I love math so none of this stuff scares me.
It's time to pick up the thread, after three weeks. The market was no fun last week. My QHF fund, for the languishing portfolio of the year competition, lost -4.5%, against SPY -2.4%, QQQQ -4.7% and IWM -5.2%. The current ranking:
IWM: 25.37
QHF: 24.98
SPY 23.91
QQQQ: 22.90
OK, there were a top 3 and a bottom 3 this week, let's see just how bad this was:
There were two sells: UPL went for 67.60, a again of 219% or 94% annualized. BLUD went 5/8 for 29.86, a gain of 530%, or 63% annualized. I do some skimming off when a position grows too big, and this means that the annualized gain over all trades is more like 80%, in the case of BLUD.
Rail started running at 70.12, PCU at 101.86.
EPEX is marked stalling. It will be replaced by PBR.

I went over to the fool's mechanical board and researched some info. (snip)
A great board!
Yes, it is! If you are mechanically inclined! (Mechanical investing is not for everyone.) But would people who would like to discuss Mechanical Investing please discuss it in my Mechanical Fund thread? This thread is about a way to manage a portfolio of $$$Mr.Market$$$ like picks.
Thank you!

Again, the market was no fun last week. My QHF fund, for the languishing portfolio of the year competition, lost -6.9%, against SPY -1.7%, QQQQ -2.1% and IWM -2.2%. That means my fund loses the second place to SPY. The current ranking:
IWM: 24.82
SPY 23.51
QHF: 23.25
QQQQ: 22.43
Let's look at the top 3 and a bottom 3 this week, let's see just how bad this was:
Top 3: NTRI +7.6%, GIL -1.6%, DECK -2.6% (yes, two negative in the Top 3)
Bottom 3: PCU -17.0%, TS -14.8%, GGB -13.0%
EPEX went for 21.66, a gain of 24.8% or 12.7% annualized. That is under par. PBR entered the fray at 96.57 and suffered a 7% drop in its first week.
Interestingly, my Shotgun Fund is doing better these weeks. The Shotgun Fund just buys the top three not held from the current list, DD be damned, and holds them for exactly 6 weeks.
No changes.

Now, that was a bit better. My QHF fund scored +0.8%, against SPY +1.0%, QQQQ +0.4% and IWM +1.0%. My fund drops a bit farther behind the top 2. The current ranking:
IWM: 25.07
SPY 23.75
QHF: 23.43
QQQQ: 22.51
What about the top 3 and bottom 3 this week?
Top 3: TS +7.7%, PCU +6.6%, CIB +4.4%
Bottom 3: NTRI -6.6%, RAIL -3.4%, GI -2.5%
Funny: TS, PCU and NTRI changed categories this week.
No changes, and all stocks are well down from their recent highs.

My QHF fund scored +0.3% this week. Up is good, but SPY scored +0.5%, QQQQ +0.4% and IWM +0.8%. My fund again loses a bit against the top 2, and number last gains a bit. The current ranking:
IWM: 25.27
SPY 23.86
QHF: 23.51
QQQQ: 22.59
What about the top 3 and bottom 3 this week?
Top 3: DBRN +10.1%, TSO +4.6%, GI 4.1%
Bottom 3: RAIL -12.2%, JLG -8.9%, PCU -1.8%
Two stocks are marked stalling, JLG and GIL. I'll replace one stock per week, and JLG (the oldest one) will be replaced by IBCA.
