Quantum Disaster

You may remember a recent post about the "6 Ways to beat the Fallout". It is here. It is a spam message Louis Navellier's marketign department sent just a couple of days ago promoting his $5.000/year Quantum Growth newsletter.

It is useful to go once more throught one of the 6 stocks Mr. Navellier called Recession Beaters.

RECESSION-BEATER #3: VODKA IS GOOD. Combine the dollar’s drop with the escapism trend that comes with recession and you’ve got a double-winner.
I’ve found a Polish vodka distributer growing at a crazy rate. Partly, this is because the company has been buying up scores of local distributors at bargain prices. It now controls 40% of the vodka trade in Poland.


This is CEDC and Mr Navellier just realized a -12% in one week with it (details follow).


There are 7 trades closed by Mr. Navellier this week, all on his Quantum Growth portfolio.
