25 winning stock recommendations in 2009—for “cumulative gains” of 476%!
Today's Financial News - Posted May 21, 2009
Stem cell stocks, oil stocks, penny stocks, biotech stocks… in the market mess of 2009, one financial advisory has already closed out 25 stock recommendations with double-digit gains… or better!
Baltimore—TFN: You can’t open a newspaper or warm up your computer without being swamped by a deluge of apocalyptic headlines:
“Worst Stock Market Decline Since the Great Depression” —About.com Guide to US Economy 5/12/09
“Stock-Market Sages Say Worst Is to Come” —TheStreet.com 5/11/09
“Is The Individual Shareholder Dead?” —Forbes.com 5/19/09
And that’s just the mainstream media! The investment advisory industry positively revels in its trademark funereal mood:
“No reason for a new bull market.”—Bill Bonner, Daily Reckoning 5/21/09
“But most things have NOT seen their bottom yet, and are still falling, falling, falling.”—The Mogambo Guru, 5/19/09
“Elliott Wave Disciple Robert Prechter Sees a Possible 2,000 Dow!”—Contrarian Profits, 5/21/09
If you’ve been getting fed up with the dour outlook, let me quote a very wise woman:
“Oh, just stop it with the Gloom and Doom!
You can make plenty of money in the market right now!”
—Laura Cadden, editor Hot Stock Confidential
Laura and her colleagues at TFN’s premium service Hot Stock Confidential have just taken their 25th double- and triple-digit gainer since the first trading week of the year. That’s 25 winning stock recommendations in 20 weeks! (Of course, sometimes even the best strike out: HSC has also logged 8 losing plays in the same time.)
“So far, we’ve averaged gains of 14% on our closed positions. And since the marketers of the financial advisory industry like to promote ‘cumulative’ gains—that’s all profits and losses tallied up to generate a nice big number—we have generated 476.3% gains of ‘cumulative’ gains as well,” she explains.
If you ask what kind of stocks the HSC team likes to focus on, you’ll get different answers. “Hype,” says TFN’s chief strategist Andrew Snyder (who also heads up the options trading service TFN Strategic Trader. “Hype is all that moves the markets right now.”

Laura Cadden still thinks technical criteria have value for her initial triage process. “I focus on stocks that trade below $20, have a P/E of 10 or less, and a forward P/E that’s roughly the same. An important aspect in this market is current cash flow.”
Is that all?
“Well, if you must know, I’m very partial to insider buying!”
It’s what the team liked to identify as DGS—Damn Good Stocks—before the market crashes of 2008 and 2009: Companies the editors would feel comfortable recommending to their own friends and family.
Hot Stock Confidential’s picks have been generated gains from a variety of different sectors, including biotechs, commodities, and especially green energy stocks.
One of the most important tools, according to Laura, is the dynamic use of a stop-loss: “It’s not just to limit losses. But it allows us to maximize our gains in this hyper-volatile market. I rather take a 40% gain on a retreating stock and buy back at a lower price than keep my fingers crossed hoping it will go up, up, up again.”
“I enjoy and appreciate the information and articles on your site and look forward to your next updates.”—MM, HSC member
The editorial offices of Hot Stock Confidential, and its publisher TodaysFinancialNews.com, occupy the first floor of 16 West Madison Street in Downtown Baltimore… a sprawling 19th-century town house with 20-feet ceilings, a crystal chandelier… and an oil painting of the Battle of Borodino above the mantle.
