Screen Results - 2/18/2011 Update

Time to update the screens for this week. I am now tracking 3 versions of the combination screens (one for each of the last 3 weeks) and I will also update the test screen of stocks to short. I will present the new list for the screen in another post later today.


January 31 List


To begin with, here is the first screen from 3 weeks ago. Since this is the original screen that I will rebalance on a monthly basis, I track the entire portfolio. For the other weekly list, I will track only the top 10 as ranked by the Price-to-Sales ratio since my testing has shown it to be the best criteria.




Over the last 3 weeks, the entire list is up 5.37% as opposed to 4.73% for the broader market as represented by SPY. The list was up 1.94% last week along as opposed to 1.07% for SPY. The top 10 (ranked by Price-to-Sales) is nothing short of great. Up 2.32% for the week and 9.44% over the last 3 weeks. It beats the market by over 4%. Next week is the last week for this entire list as I will rebalance the portfolio. I suspect that there will be some heavy turnover! But the goal is to maximize performance, not hold stocks for a long time!


February 7 List






The list created 2 weeks ago also had a good week. To save time, I am tracking only the top 10 for the weekly list. Last week, these 10 stocks were up 2.47%, beating the market by close to 1.5%. They are up 4.46% for the last 2 weeks, up close to 2% over SPY. 


February 14 List




This week is only a week old. And once again, it beat the market pretty handily for the week, up 2.63% as compared to 1.07% for SPY. 


There seem to be a pattern emerging here as newer list outperform the older list in perfect order. Something to track over the next months!


Stocks to Short List


Well, a rising tide lifts all boats... Even though I tried picking stocks that are close to their 52 weeks low ranked with descending Price-to-Sales ratio, the entire list did manage to stay positive. It did underachieve the broader market though by around 0.5%. This would be a better list to track in a correction. Unfortunately, none on the horizon so far....




That is is for the current screen... A very good week overall!
