USING ACE'S ALPHA STOCKS TO BUILD A ROBUST PORTFOLIO

Let us continue with our write-up "Alpha Stocks - The Best of ACE'S" and use our Alpha stocks to build a robust portfolio. Our portfolio will be virtual and will have the following simple strategy;

    1. Buy ACE'S Alpha stocks only;
    2. Buy a stock only when it's closing price has dropped lower than its EMA-13 price;
    3. Sell a stock after 12 months OR if the stock's original buy price drops by 15% (whichever of these two events happens first).

Special Notes:

    1. On Item 2 above, the flag for our buy point would be the closing price of the subject stock dropping below its EMA-13 price. Our trading rule will then be: Knowing the stock's lower-than-its-EMA closing price, the actual buy will be made the following day and the buy price will be the subject stock's opening price.
    2. Our total investment funds is $100,000.
    3. We will allocate $10,000 for each portfolio stock.
    4. A trade's (buy or sell) cost will be $10.00.
    5. Our portfolio's creation date was December 17, 2007.


On December 17, 2007, the following Alpha stocks did indeed have closing prices below their respective EMA-13s: Mach-1, Comm-1, Oiler-1 and Comm-2 (actual names of the stocks given in the site write-up). "Buy flags" were thus triggered for these stocks and they were, subsequently, virtually bought at their respective opening price on 12/18/07. Table A below summarizes the portfolio's line items, after the buys have been completed on December 18, 2007. The portfolio's mix of stocks as of December 18, 2007: 1 domestic (Mach-1) and 3 foreign stocks; 1 Mid-cap (Comm-2) and 3 Large-caps; 1 each in the Construction & Agriculture and Integrated Oil & Gas industries; and 2 in the Communication Services industry; 1 Good ASG (Comm-2) and 3 Very Good ASGs.

ACE'S will keep you regularly updated on the portfolio's performance and transactions made related to the portfolio. The portfolio will thus show how a similar portfolio in the real world works and performs.

ALPHA STOCKS ~ THE BEST OF ACE'S


In the stock buying process, a constant challenge for the investor is identifying that one good stock (for that particular time) to buy and, supposedly having done the latter, "pinpointing" the time when to buy that one good stock. Assuming that the investor is an ACE'S subscriber, the investor then has choice among ACE'S total 160 plus "picks"; or the 45 plus current year "picks"; or the 1 - 5 current month's "picks". A lot of "picks" to choose from. ACE'S then thought: If ACE'S is an investor and has to pick that one "Great" stock from its 160 plus "picks" to date, which would that one stock be? To find out, we have to mine ACE'S stocks. And what would be the criteria to mine for that one "Great" stock?

For the mining criteria, ACE'S would factor in the following:

    - high ASGs
    - demonstrated long-term price stability
    - demonstrated long-term price growth
    - companies that are at least 3-5 years old
    - companies that are in industries with strong price performance

Good news! The mining process yielded not only 1 but 6 "Great" stocks (let's call them "Alpha Stocks").

FINDINGS: These select stocks are in the following industries: Communication Services, Biotechnology & Drugs, Non-metallic Mining, Construction & Agricultural Machinery, and Oil & Gas - Integrated. There are 5 Large-caps and 1 Mid-cap. The average ASG of these stocks is 52.40 which translates to Very Good). 4 of the 6 stocks are foreign stocks. The best performer (named in the site write-up) had a 4.5-month gain of 90.23%. The least gainer had a 19-day gain of 11.61%. On a per month basis, the top performer (named in the site write-up) had a 40.68% gain per month. The average gain of the 6 stocks is 37.33% (made in the averaged invested time of 3.08 months).

Here they are - ACE'S Alpha Stocks (SEE: Table A in the "Findings" page, "Alpha Stocks ~ The Best of ACE'S" header). The write-up also discussed a technique of using the Alpha stocks for optimum gain.

STOCK CAP'S PERFORMANCE - WHO'S TOP GUN?

When we are buying a stock, do we consider the stock's capitalization as a factor in our buy or no buy decision? If we do, do we have a basis why we prefer one cap over another? Is there a relationship between a stock's capitalization and its performance? Let's find out.

From 2000 to 2004, ACE'S have picked micro-, small-, mid- and large-cap stocks. Starting in 2005, ACE'S have confined its picks to small-, mid- and large cap stocks. We have often heard or read the conventional wisdom that "small-caps have higher gains but are riskier"; whereas "large caps have lower gains but are less risky". How does the latter conventional wisdom stack up against ACE'S historical figures? Let's check it out.

We tabulated the 12-month gain (loss) of our micro-, small-, mid- and large cap stocks from 2000-2006, and compared those gains (losses) versus the corresponding S&P 500 gains (losses).
