AAS Top Ten as of September 15, 2006

The graphs below represent our top rated investments within six different categories as of Friday, September 15, 2006. The analytics we use to rate and select investments are based on a time-weighted alpha rating score that seeks to highlight investments beginning a bullish trend. You can tell from the chart and graphs below that the analytic was correct in each of the six categories of investments with an average gain of 6.28% since the initial “buy” or “short-sale” recommendation. Although the average gain is less than last week’s, the analytic has still done an excellent job selecting investments providing the most alpha.

We’ve color-coded the graphs to represent one of the three “recommendations” our analytic produces for each security. A red line coincides with a “sell” recommendation. A blue line represents a “neutral” or “hold” recommendation and the green line equates to a “buy” recommendation.

The green arrow represents the first date that the security became an “AAS Recommended Buy” after previously being an “AAS Recommended Sell.” For the “Short-Sale” group, the red arrow represents the first date that the security became an “AAS Recommended Sell” after previously being “buy” recommended. Also included are the most recent recommendations of each security.
