Our Most Attractive and Most Dangerous Strategies Outperform the Indexes

Every month, we release our 40 Most Attractive and our 40 Most Dangerous stocks with 20 large cap and 20 small cap stocks for each. These lists offer our subscribers multiple strategies to outperform in good and bad markets. Some of the best performing stocks throughout the year included Groupon (GRPN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Cal-Maine (CALM).

Especially when it came to long/short strategies through 2015, we delivered stock picks that, by and large, outperformed their benchmarks and major indexes for our subscribers. As of December 31, 2015:

  • Our small cap long/short strategy beat the risk-free rate by 45% in 2015.
  • Our small cap short strategy beat the short Russell 2000 by 27% in 2015.
  • Our large and small cap long/short strategy beat the Risk-Free Rate by 16% in 2015.

These strategies (and others) have beaten their benchmarks by much more since their inception in January 2005. Since inception, our large and small cap long strategy has returned 9% annualized vs. just 5% for the S&P 500 and Russell 2000.
