15 sells for Louis Navellier

Bad day for the markets. The S&P500 went back to 2004 levels of 1.100 points.

What Mr. Robert Hsu calls market correction looks like a bear market we will remember for a while.

But not every news is bad these days. If you have cash (and I hope you do) there will be soon many good opportunities to invest in. Just wait for the end of this market phase and watch your cash stay where they are. No hurry.

But now let's go and see how well Mr. Louis Navellier's $5.000/year paying subscribers have done this week.

As the post title says, there are 15 sells this week. They are closed position so I am sure there is no copyright violation in reporting them (Mr. Navellier always shares his results with all of us in his spam messages).

The 15 sells are: AGU, BUCY, CF, DRC, FSYS, HGT, MOS, MUR, NTES, ZEUS, BTU, PBT, POT, STLD, X

You have surely noticed that the 15 sells include the 3 fertilizers Mr. Navellier was talking about in his Bloomberg TV interview: CF, MOS and POT.

I am considering the close prices, so actual results may vary (although not too much).
  1. AGU, bought on August 25th, moved from $84.43 to $54.11 for a -35.91%
  2. BUCY, bought on September 22nd, moved from $51.20 to $38.17 for a -25.45%
  3. CF, bought on September 8th, moved from $119.48 to $83.93 for a -29.75%
  4. DRC, bought on November 8th, moved from $36.95 to $30.23 for a -18.19%
  5. FSYS, bought on August 18th, moved from $55.35 to $35.00 for a -36.77%
  6. HGT, bought on July 28th, moved from $31.29 to $24.82 for a -20.68%
  7. MOS, bought on August 4th, moved from $109.29 to $63.75 for a -41.67%
  8. MUR, bought on August 11th, moved from $75.59 to $60.61 for a -19.82%
  9. NTES, bought on August 18th, moved from $24.79 to $20.24 for a -18.35%
  10. ZEUS, bought on September 22nd, moved from $33.90 to $28.24 for a -16.70%
  11. BTU, bought on September 2nd, moved from $55.41 to $41.12 for a -25.79%
  12. PBT, bought on September 2nd, moved from $23.68 to $22.02 for a -7.01%
  13. POT, bought on August 18th, moved from $170.04 to $130.60 for a -23.19%
  14. STLD, bought on September 22nd, moved from $21.14 to $16.06 for a -24.03%
  15. X, bought on August 4th, moved from $139.87 to $72.38 for a -48.25%

Quantum Growth is the service that is supposed to beat the S&P500 30-to-1.

This time we can calculate the average buy date for the 15 trades (that is August 30th) and compare the average performance of these 15 stocks (-26.10%) with the S&P500, that from August 29th to yesterday made a -14.94%.

In September 2008 Quantum Growth outperformed the S&P500 by almost 2-to-1, although I doubt we will see these trades in next spams from Mr. Navellier.

And now a final note: how do you think these 15 sells are rated in Portfolio Grader Pro (updated September 29th 2008)?
