Hi AIMster,
Thanks for the shameless plug
. And I'm happy to hear your test portfolio is doing well.
I actually invested real funds in 4 stocks selected by VSS in the latter part of last year (MVL, PLNR, CREE and added to my position in MSFT). I sold out PLNR and CREE late last year when their ratings fell below 6 for a nice 15% profit.
As of today, both MSFT and MVL are up more than 13% (combined) in less than 6 months.
An interesting twist on MVL was that it took a sharp dive when it announced 2006 earnings were expected to grow less than in 2005. Although I wasn't AIMing it, I decided to buy more and double my position. A short time later the stock moved back up significantly and I was able to sell enough shares to get back my money while keeping 11% more shares (or free shares as they've been called by some).
Having said that, however, the software is really meant for long-term investors, but anytime I can make 15%+ profits in a few months I'll be happy to take it.
Let me know how you make out with VSS if you decide to invest real dollars.
