Happy Anniversary!

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the debut of my stock screen machine. What a year it has been!

As they become available, starting today members will be able to see 1-year performance statistics for my favorite stock screens in addition to the quarterly and monthly stats I routinely provide. To view this data, just visit every stock screen I share and look below the screen's most recent picks.

Looking through the 1-year performance stats this morning, I was pleased to discover that the first three screens I shared with members a year ago all outperformed the market. My Back Up The Truck screen gained +23.2%, Cream Of The Crop gained +4.1%, and Value/Growth/Momentum fell -0.8%. In comparison, the S&P 500 declined -5.8%.

Some of the best performers were CF Industries (CF) up +252%, Potash (POT) up +223%, Baidu.com (BIDU) up +196.4%, Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) up +128%, Priceline.com (PCLN) up +121%, Terra Nitrogen (TNH) up +119%, T-3 Energy (TTES) up +118%, and Arena Resources (ARD) up +104%. Sure, there were some losers, but overall these screens performed quite well. Just imagine what the machine can do in a better market!

Version 2.0 of my stock screen machine is now under development and will continue to build upon what I think (and many of you have also shared with me) has been an extremely valuable research tool. The next version will have more filters and provide a better sense of how I use these screens. I'm really looking forward to that.
