Please keep in mind, past performance is not indicative of future results and an investor would incur commissions or fees (and interest charges if transacted in a margin account) related to investing in these recommendations.
*On a total return basis with performances averaged as if an equal dollar allocation was made to each stock at the December pricing date and held until December 31 of the following year. Individual results will vary and transaction costs related to investing in these stocks will affect overall performance. There is no assurance that the list will achieve the results expected, and investors may incur profits or losses. The results presented should not and cannot be viewed as an indicator of future performance.
Since 1996 a total of 350 stocks have been recommended through the Analysts' Best Picks® list. Of this total, 222 advanced (63%) and 128 declined (37%) within the recommended holding period. The holding period for each year's list is approximately 55 weeks from the inception date to December 31 of the following year.
Annual results are before commissions or fees. The results presented should not and cannot be viewed as an indicator of future performance. Individual results will vary and transaction costs related to investing in these stocks will affect overall performance. There is no assurance that the list will achieve the results expected and investors may incur profits or losses. The performance returns in 1999 were extraordinary and it is unlikely that these unrealistically high returns will be repeated. The Russell 2000 is an unmanaged index of small cap securities which generally involve greater risks. A complete list of all Analysts’ Best Picks® since 1996 is available upon request.
