Our annual results do not include interest on funds not invested.  We are not always fully invested.  This is part of our disciplined approach to investing.

Does any other website or stock service offer these kind of verifiable results?

No, just big promises, with no accountability.

A few offer an annual recap after the fact.  When it is too late to realize you were taken to the cleaners.

In 2010 our Model Portfolio gained           14.9%

In 2009 our Model Portfolio gained           26.8%
