*** FREE Lunch Is Served! ***
Feast your eyes on these. This year we've added selections from the American Stock Exchange.
Remember this Free Lunch, Bargain Stock Strategy is a relatively short-term trading strategy. We look for these stocks to outperform the NYSE, NASDAQ & AMEX composite indices through February 15, 2003.
But, lately we have seen these Free Lunch stocks make most of their moves right out of the blocks so take profits when you have them. These Bargain Stocks have beaten the NYSE composite by an average 9.1% advantage during this period since 1975.
Don't hold these stocks too long. Use trailing stops on the way up to lock in profits and protect losses on pullbacks.
Bon Appetite and Happy New Year!
