Cornerstone Stocks
in Positions 1-10
The following Cornerstone
results are real-time returns (not back-tested returns)
and are updated through Friday's market close.
Stocks in the top ten
positions of the screen tend to perform better than
the other forty stocks. Since the stocks are ranked
by relative price strength, the reason for this superior
performance is price momentum. Thus far, buying the
stocks in the top 10 positions of each month's Cornerstone
Growth Stock Screen has resulted in a return of 8.4%
per year vs 3.1% for the S&P 500. This
methodology assumes a holding period of one year.
Cornerstone Stocks
in Positions 4-10
Stocks in the 1, 2, and
3 positions have often risen so much that they are bound
to cool off. Therefore we track a strategy that avoids
these three stocks. Buying the stocks in the 4-10 positions
and holding for only a month has resulted in a return
of 33.8% per year.
Cornerstone Stocks
in Positions 4-6
Buying the stocks in
the 4, 5, & 6 positions and holding for only a month
has resulted in a return of 32.4% per year.
