AAS Top Ten on December 1, 2006

The graphs below represent our top rated investments within six different categories as of Friday, December 1, 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 and generating alpha. Each of the six investments has positive returns with an average gain of 16.44% since the initial “buy” or “short/sell” recommendation. However, both precious metals funds and the Fidelity Natural Gas fund are under-performing the market currently.

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 “Short/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/Sell” 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.
