Column headings: DATE = The first trading day after the stock is posted (the first day on which changes can be recorded). DAYS = The number of trading days a stock has been on the list. I track the stocks for 5 trading days. After a stock selection has run five days, I include it in the overall ”Reversal List Result Update” (below). STOCK = Ticker symbol. START = Closing price of the stock on the day it is posted. This is the price against which changes are calculated. HIGH = The stock’s highest price during the trading period. Note: I do not include flawed trades, such as when a decimal point is missing (0.05 instead of 0.005); the paid services might include these flaws in their calculations, but I think they’re misleading. CHANGE = Percentage change from “START” to “HIGH.” CURRENT HIGH = The stock’s highest price during the most recent trading day.
Reversal List Result Update: I've been posting a list of reversal candidates, starting Monday, October 20. The first twenty-eight of those lists have now had a minimum of 5 days to measure their results. These results indicate the change from the initial PPS (the closing price of the "publication" date) to the high PPS over the next 5 days. There were 112 selections in all. The biggest loss was –10.53%. The greatest increase was 180.00%. The average increase was 23.75%. The average number of days to the high point was 2.66 days. Of the 112 selections:
I acknowledge that these numbers are slightly inflated; although you could have bought all of the picks at or below the initial PPS, it's doubtful anyone could have sold at the absolute highs. GLTA, ...............j
