AAS Top Six on January 5, 2007

The graphs below represent our top rated investments within six different categories as of Friday, January 5, 2007. Due to weakening market conditions, only four categories had “buy” recommended investments, and there were no "buy" recommended ProFund or Rydex mutual funds as of January 5th. 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. All four investments have positive returns with an average gain of 16.70% since the initial “buy” or “short/sell” recommendation.

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.
