All in all it was a very good week. We had eight stocks appreciating from 18.29% to 78.7% and one stock down (9.62%). The average performance over the last six months for these nine stocks was a gain of 41.73%.
This certainly was a GREAT result. Of these stocks, I did own New Century for a short period and still have some shares of SYNO in my trading account. Please be sure to discuss any of these stocks with your investment advisor before making any investment decisions as they may or may not be profitable for you and may or may not be suitable investments.
