How would you like to have access to a complete breakdown of top-producing high flying stocks delivered right to your computer on a weekly basis? And we're not just talking about a handful of stocks here and there either, but rather up to a whopping 200 stocks each and every week!

Let's face it--deciding what to do with one's investment dollars can be a very confusing, if not daunting, process. With ever-changing market conditions and the vast multitude of vehicles available to the investor it can even seem to be downright overwhelming.

You have probably been exposed to some of the hype that exists out in the marketplace when it comes to stock trading. Somehow there are those out there that claim to never (or very rarely) even have a losing trade. Some will also take credit for the top price a stock achieves within a certain time frame--as if you should have had the incredible foresight to sell right at that peak price. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have that type of crystal ball in your possession?

By contrast, we strive to take what could be viewed as a more revolutionary approach and actually honestly examine the results--both the good and the not so good. In a nutshell, NowVest is an investment research company always looking to improve results while also maintaining a realistic real-world perspective. 

So let's bring a little realism to the table here. How is that for a refreshing idea? As you know, the S&P 500 index has often been seen as an overall gauge of the broad markets as a whole. It is a target that many strive to shoot for. Incredibly however, an extremely large number of highly-paid professional money managers (estimates seen as high as 80% or even more?) do not achieve gains better than the benchmark S&P 500 on average.     

Please understand that this is not to shed stock trading overall in a negative light whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite is true. That is what has us so excited. At NowVest, we believe we have actually developed a rather simple (not complex or arbitrary) but very powerful stock ranking and trading methodology. Quite simply, we believe the underlying principles flat-out just make sense, and will continue to do so in the future. So why are we so confident it will continue to be successful in the future? Because it operates on a set of only a few simple and powerfully effective rules rather than some complex obscure ones form-fitted to every situation. Based on tried and true tested principles, there is really nothing "magical" about it.

Essentially, the NowVest Stock Pullbacks (NSP) system  has withstood the test of time in studies starting from 3/31/01 (just a bit into the new 21st century).  Keep in mind that during that time there have been trendy markets, choppy markets, a solid bull market in 2003, and a bear market in 2008 which rivaled the worst of all-time. Through it all this method has managed to persevere...displaying a downright explosive performance during the 2003 bull market while also effectively managing risk and greatly limiting the downside when markets turn bearish. By comparison, it is interesting to point out that here at the end of 2009 the S&P 500 still trails where it was at back on 3/31/01.  

Now one may inquire as to why this methodology was first born in 2001. Why does the data not go further back? For a quick answer, that is the date when some of the historical fundamental data studied was first available to us. While much of the technical data and price information was easy to gather, the same could not be said for the availability of some of the "fundamental" data. Believe me, we would absolutely LOVE to take the studies further back in time. Here is why. Just consider these absolutely stellar numbers from 1985-1999 which came to be the longest, most sustained stock rally in U.S. history. Over that 15 year period the Dow Jones Industrials Index produced just one measly losing year...and it was only -4.3% at that. The other 14 all posted yearly gains with 11 of them coming in at double-digits, and even more impressively, 8 years added on more than +20% to the bottom-line. Overall, the Dow increased by almost a whopping 750% and the S&P 500 exploded by more than 675% during that period. Impressive indeed! So yes, that time frame from 1985-1999 was sure a good one to be involved in stock trading. Remember that when analyzing any past results however. How often will that extreme bullishness repeat again in the future? 

Putting that past history aside, let's now move ahead to the 21st century, and the dawning of the NSP system. A much more volatile, difficult period to navigate to be sure. Looking at the overall numbers, the S&P 500 had actually DECLINED  by a total of -22% from 3/31/01 to the end of 2008. Quite a far cry from the +675% achieved during the 1985-1999 time-frame.

Thus the NSP was unveiled during a much more challenging time period. For starters, let's jump right in and take a look at some performance figures. Below is a simple chart of the "NSP Value Plus" Method when compared against the S&P 500. By the way, the "NSP Value Plus" is a component of the NSP system, and will be explained in much greater detail later.

As you can see, the returns turned in by the NSP Value Plus are extremely impressive, to say the least. In most cases, the NSP Value Plus was at least 10 times better than the S&P even.

Look at the one stellar year turned in by the S&P with a +26.4% gain. In that particularly bullish year the NSP Value Plus gained an out of this world +320.7% itself. Now of course that is great when the environment is all well and good, but how does the NSP hold up when the overall markets are in a tailspin instead? One example can be seen in 2002 when the NSP Value Plus would have gained +107.9% while the S&P 500 dropped a bearish -23.4%.

The recently completed year 2008 takes on a meaning all its own however. Everyone knows the negative story associated with that one-- everything from a struggling economy, high unemployment rates, and an earth-shaking decline in the S&P 500 of -38.5%, and a -33.8% tumble for the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrials Index. To put that into perspective a bit, it was the 3rd largest single year loss in the Dow in the last 109 years. Yes, you read that right. 109 years! Even with that extreme overall market breakdown however, the NSP Value Plus still managed to churn out a stunning gain of +24.8% in the midst of all the adversity. 

Forging ahead, the NSP was fully rolled out into real-time in the middle part of 2009...and the strong performances have continued to roll on as well. Yes, the NSP Value Plus produced a triple digit gain over +121% for the year. Check the "Updates" in the upper right of this page for more ongoing up-to-date results. 

For a peek into what could potentially happen on a compound basis with returns such as those posted above see the next chart below. It shows that a hypothetical ONE-TIME investment of $10,000 could have grown all the way up to over $4 million by 2009 by re-investing, and with no additional money at all ever being added to the original stake. By comparison, $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 would have actually slipped to just under $9,600 over that very same time period. While attaining those accomplishments are all MUCH easier said than done due to a variety of factors, it does at least display the dominance exhibited by the NSP. That also brings back into memory just how many money managers struggle to even keep pace with that very same benchmark S&P 500.

So there you have it. Very impressive performance indeed! With that being said, let's now focus in on the nitty-gritty details of where the numbers originated from.
