Twopercentgoal.com Announces 2025 Q1 Results; Winners Outnumber Losers 2:1

Twopercentgoal.com is pleased to announce its quarterly numbers ending March 31, 2025.  For the last 12 months, 478 recommendations were made.  Of those picks, 220 earned 2% or more resulting in a total gain of 840.6% while 258 fell short of the 2% goal resulting in a loss of 352.6%.  This resulted in a net gain of 487.84% or a net gain average of 1.02% per pick.

Going long, 165 picks made 2% or more resulting in a total gain of 597.32% while 157 picks failed to make the 2% goal resulting in a loss of 203.61%.  This resulted in a net gain of 393.71% for all long positions.  Going short, 55 picks gained 2% or more resulting in a total gain of 243.28% while 101 picks failed to make the 2% goal resulting in a loss of 149.15%.  This resulted in a net gain of 94.13% for all short sells.

Part of the strategy is to implement a 3% stop loss order to minimize losses and maximize gains.  Of all recommendations made, 220 made or surpassed the 2% goal while 106 picks lost 3%.  The two percent winners outnumbered the 3% losers by more than a 2:1 margin or more specifically 2.08:1.

For picks made in the month of March 2025, there were a total of 114 recommendations resulting in a net gain of 41.68%. 

The best selection of the last 12 months happened on March 31 of this year when APA Corporation (ticker symbol APA) was shorted at 20.71.  Its stop loss (or more accurately its stop gain) was triggered April 9 at 15.55 for a gain of 33.2%.

While these numbers are impressive, twopercentgoal.com freely admits they are only theoretical gains.  These gains could only be realized if 100% of your portfolio was made on each pick and the picks are made sequentially and do not overlap.  In reality, this is not the case.  We would never recommend putting 100% of your portfolio on one pick.  We strongly suggest limiting each pick to 10% of your portfolio or even 5% of your portfolio for maximum diversification.  For those with a stronger risk appetite, we also suggest you consider margin. Again, this may be out of someone’s risk tolerance but can be used for maximum efficiency. 

If we take the last 12 months net gain of 487.84%, do not put more than 5% of your portfolio on each pick and use 3x margin, you could realize an annual net gain of 73.18%.  This assumes that you could have every pick in your portfolio.  It also does not take into account, the compounding effect.

Each of these picks are clearly itemized in a daily email showing recommendations poised for a 2% gain.  To receive the daily email, simply go to twopercentgoal.com and sign up.  It is free for the first 30 days and then $99/month thereafter.  You will also receive spreadsheets showing the latest 12-month data and picks made for the month of March.

While the test data is overwhelmingly positive, there are risks with this type of investing and the author accepts no responsibility for any possible losses.

Cheers,
