Twopercentgoal.com Sets Record Week – Cumulative 68% Net Gain

Last week was an amazing week for twopercentgoal.com.  For all recommendations that closed their positions for the week of March 24, it netted an overall gain of 68.1%.  Forty-one picks either made or surpassed their two percent goal while 17 had their respective stop losses triggered and lost the maximum of 3%.  Of the 41 winers, 12 made more than 3%, three earned more than 4%, one earned 5% and the biggest gainer profited 8.3% in one week.  Of the 17 losers, 12 happened on Friday, a massive down day on the markets but 39 of the 41 gainers had closed out their positions by Thursday avoiding the big drop.

Most of the gainers were in the financial sector showing an identical chart pattern.  Another interesting point was that many stocks in the financial sector had massive volume spikes the previous week.  Something was up.  Most had twice the volume compared to the average volume for the previous 12 months and many had their biggest volume spike for the year.  We had written about the volume spikes with financial companies in last week’s blog.

At twopercentgoal.com, we are swing traders, not day traders.  A true day trader does not own a position at the beginning nor at the end of the day.  He buys and sells his stocks intra-day.  A swing trader has a slightly longer time horizon of three days to three weeks.  Most of our positions are held for about a week.

Twopercentgoal.com employs a strategy combining relative strength index (RSI), 50- and 200-day moving averages, and a confirming Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signal.  We look for companies whose 50-day average is above its 200-day average; we want the RSI coming out of oversold territory, and finally we are looking for the two MACD lines to intersect positively giving the final confirmation.  Our goal is simply to make two percent a week with a maximum stop loss of 3%.  This is a micro goal of the bigger picture which is to double our money each on the markets virtually risk free.

While the results were impressive this week, we fully realize this is a theoretical number since the only way you would have earned 68% is if you put your entire portfolio on each pick separately and if the picks were made sequentially.  Neither are recommended nor possible.  First, we strongly recommend you do not put more than 10% of your portfolio on one stock for safety and diversification.  Secondly, these picks overlap and cannot be made sequentially, but concurrently.  While the 68% number is theoretical, it is still indicative of the program’s capability.

Go to twopercentgoal.com and sign up for the daily email of stock picks poised for a two percent gain.  The email is free for the first 30 days then $99/month thereafter.  If the picks do not generate a positive return for the month, your $99 is refunded.  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.
