Subscribers see this update at the first of each month.

This portfolio is started at the beginning of each calendar year.  It is a $20,000 portfolio and we put $3000 into the "money available" field of the parameters page and will be buying stocks in multiples of 100 shares. This will also aid in diversity for the portfolio. The Analyzer is run on first trading day of the month with the default parameters, and the "List stock/call combinations with hi PE or negative earnings" button clicked.  This is an aggressive portfolio. We then take the top stocks listed on the consider page. This will yield seven to nine stocks, probably eight without going over the $20,000 allocated for this portfolio. Commissions are assumed at $9.95 per trade. We then monitor these stocks (without selling calls against them) until they reach our established sell price of (+20%) or our get-out price (-15%). When a stock is sold for either reason, we use the proceeds to purchase more stocks with each $3000 available. These activities are identified in our results for the $20,000 Stock Portfolio. We will start this portfolio at the end of the first trading day in January 2008 and update it on the first trading day of each subsequent month.
