My incredible return in year-end 2018

Past performance is a guideline and does not guarantee future performance.

Making 50% in one month

I claim to have the best one-month performance ever for recommending 8 or more stocks without using options and leverage. My following return is 57% in a month or 621% annualized. They are slightly different as I calculated the average from the averages of three different accounts. The average buy date is 12/26/18 and the “current date” after a month is 01/28/19 (Monday).

The performance may not be repeated. I will use the same screen for the coming years and even the expected 10% (or 120% annualized) is still very good.

I used the same screen for searching stock candidates and then evaluated the top searched stocks. I spent a total of about 20 hours from Dec. 15, 2018 to Jan. 5, 2019.

Most likely (not a promise) I will have a book titled "Best Stocks for 2019 Year End" by Dec. 25, 2019. Also check out my book "Complete the art of investing".
