I have only invested in this crazy market less than a year. I
got in at the worse possible time last may or june, just in time for well u know the rest of that story. I have only subscribed to the famous gumshoe (which by the way is awesome and full of information) and just recently 1st of May subscribed to The Street Authority’s Stock of the month by Amy Calistri’s. I know its very early but right now I’m very impressed with Amy’s pix and articles and also results of the 1st 6 pix. I paid 59.99 for 1 year and like the simple approach she uses.

She gives all her customers the next stock she will be purchasing and then she doesnt buy for 2 or 3 days later, so you can actually have a better price than hers or not if it falls. This is a 50,000.00 portfolio for those that have that much money LOL–so mines much less. The followinf is a list of her 1st 6 picks:

#1 70 shares of DEO my price 45.65 now 52.35 she recommends buy under 58 target-stop/loss 82.00

#2 400 shares of IAF my price 7.03 now 8.10—buy under 9.50
target stop/ loss 14.00

#3 200 shares of PIO my price 11.91 now 13.65—buy under 16.00—target stop/ loss 22.00

#4 90 shares of CPSI my price 33.58 now 32.67–buy under 38.00—target stop/loss 47.00

#5 150 shares of VOD my price 18.50 now 18.47—this was released this week and she has not updated the buy under or the –target stop/loss price.

That is up to date and if anyone is interested I will be glad to up date each month when I get her Stock of the month pick.

A couple of weeks ago the subscription price was $49.99/year. Apparently as the market advances, the subscription price advances too. Currently it’s $19.95/quarter. If the newsletter were a stock, it has a 63% gain. This is not to disparage Amy, just an observation. Other newsletters, worthwhile or no, cost more.

Hey tnvolfan, thanks so much for your posts! I am also interested in this one, please continue to keep us updated. I read about this one elsewhere and figured I would search to see if was listed on the ole Gumshoe, and hey! Gotta’ love it! Thanks to you too, Shoe! Where would we be without you? Spending our money just to find-out that a service was no good!

Review by Stock Newbie, June 1, 2009

Been looking over these stocks and their
charts so far:

DEO-Summer party play. Noticed all the prices on alcohol have been going-up lately, but that could be due to taxes. Stock had a recent reversal of fortune, 10-day currently crossing above the 20-day. 50-day will be the next overhead resistance level to watch.

IAF-Australian closed-end fund. Aussie currency has been having a field day recently. 10-day crossed above the 20-day and the stock took-off when the price crossed over the 50-day. It IS over the recommended buy level, but I wouldn’t have any problem purchasing this one here.

PIO-Hmm, global water play. I’ve heard this theme before, the “new oil”. Price is currently trying to break-out above the 50-day, it may pull-back a little if it doesn’t make it on the first try. If it does clear the 50-day, watch for this one to take-off like IAF did.

CPSI-Healthcare information services, hospitals will need to streamline as much as possible in this economy, and tech always recovers first in a recession. This is probably the strongest chart of the bunch. CPSI is already above all four moving averages, which will provide some strong support as bullishness increases in the recovering market. A little overextended, recently pulled-back. Watch for the 10-day to “snap-back” some and then it should be a safe long-term play.

VOD-’Nuther Aussie pick, cell phone play, common theme lately. All the cell companies have been hitting higher highs, look at PALM. This one looks like it has pulled-back and as the 10-day crosses the 20-day here, it should be headed higher. The 2 moving averages together should provide strong support. The 50-day will be the resistance to watch. If it breaks above the 50, it could run a while.

OLN-Olin is a great company, I’ve owned this one before. Had to let it go when it broke through support a while back. I can see me owning it again, but not here. This would have to be the worst chart of the bunch. The price is below all the moving averages and they are all trending down. The 10- and 20-days are directly over the price and could form strong overhead resistance. I would probably wait until this one goes above that resistance to buy in. That’s just me, though. Amy Calistri could know something we don’t. She may have a catalyst. It also could be upgraded, current consensus is HOLD. If that is the case, it could rocket above these averages. Still, I would wait for the turn-around on this one.

Just my two cents…

Hi :

Over the course of time I have subscribed to two of the newsletters listed on the right ( highest ranked 7 and 12 ).
I just renewed with #12 for 1/2 off the regular price . I just read these newsletters to see what they have to say . One of the stock picks from a prievious time mentioned in newsletter #12 I bought with money from my discount brokerage account I’ve made more than $100.00 on the stock . As I type this review the stock is up while the market slides . Also the stock is currently paying a dividend at 16% .

Hi,
I can’t even remember why I decided to order Amy’s first Stock of the Month newsletter - Maybe because she wrote about being a professional poker player in Texas, and I felt like gambling 5.00 bucks a month on her advice. Anyway, she earned my subscription fee just on her suggestion of PIO, the water ETF, up 37.6%. DEO is up 31%. She has a very intertaining writing style. Of her seven picks so far, only the August is down-3.3%. The other 6 doing very well.

As a small time, very non professional investor following Amy’s advice, I’d say I got lucky.

subscribed start of August 2009
Nice easy to read newsletter
The two picks i’ve received are Pagg which still hasn’t reached Its buy under recommendation and is down from entry with very low volume for an etf the other NGZ another etf is up half a buck but still under its buy under recommendation also low volume. She was doing well with her earlier picks but the market was going up, she hasn’t out performed the market but hasn’t lost money.
All her picks have been long on American exchanges so far.
To be fair its early day’s and i am waiting to see how she does once the market turns against her.
I will update this review then !

I joined the service at the beginning of June. I actually compare the performance of the stocks I bought to the S&P 500. Here are the numbers:

MRX - 18.3% compared to 15.6% S&P 500
OLN - 42.5% compared to 15.6% S&P 500
VOD - 22.8% compared to 15.6% S&P 500
PAGG - 0.9% compared to 2.9% S&P 500
NGZ - 5.4% compared to 1.4% S&P 500

This does not include 35.7% in DEO, 40% in PIO and 17% in CPSI (I was late to buy them) plus

Not bad at all I would say.

Of course more time needed to fully evaluate this service, but so far, excellent results.

So far so good. I subscribed right when she began the service. I set up a spreadsheet to track all the picks and “funded” it with the same $50,000 that Amy is investing. I’ve made every trade she recommends, exactly as she says, and so far I’m impressed.

As of the closing prices today my account is up to $55,821.44, including dividends (but not interest on the cash). From 5/15/09 to 9/24/09 that’s an annualized return of 32.19%. Only one pick (PAGG) is down slightly from the purchase price. All the others are showing gains in the hundreds of dollars.

The whole market has been on a tear these last few months, so it remains to be seen whether Amy is a really good stock-picker or just began the service at the right time. But I’m impressed enough to stick around to find out.

I just recently started taking this newsletter. Before I did I tracked her picks since she started this in April. Boy I wish I had been onboard in April. Her DEO pick that she bought in on at either 43 or 45 dollars is now close to 66 dollars. Her IAF which she pruchased at approximately 7 dollars closed yesterday at $11.89. Her VOD that was purchased somewhere in the middle teens is now $22.99. I think the proof is in the pudding!! I went and invested in two of the stock she advise a first time invester to invest in which was VOD and FAX….both up yesterday. The only reason I did not invest in the thrid she suggested is that it has already gone up so much from the price she suggested to buy at. It appears to me Ami is brilliant!! You go Girl!!

I just love Amy’s hat. I started in July and very pleased with all her picks. So the is the street authority.

they have upped her real money portfolio from $50,000 to $100,000

I honestly cant wait to see what the stock of the month is.
It has been fun and rewarding.
