Stock Rocket (stockrocket.com_

I subscribed to Stock Rocket for a month last year for $39. They provide several weekly stock picks (long only) that are expected to rise > 20% or so, and often achieve results that exceed 100%. They obviously need the market to cooperate by being in an uptrend, and when the market goes the other way, so also do their picks. However, during the several uptrends that occur most years, the Stock Rocket picks go up much more than the market. I subscribed during a downer month in the market and did not continue, moving on to something else. I see from their website the returns for 2010 were in the order of 100% and in prior years, the results were:
2006 215% 2007 157% 2008 106% 2009 406% 2010 101%

As indicated in one of the worst market environment in years, they were able to achieve >100% returns (2008, 2009).

These are completely honest results based on apportioning your money available into about 10 picks at a time. They provide stop loss values and adjust these as the stock moves upwards, and they give you advice as to when the stock is ripe enough or weak enough to unload.

The big negative I’ve already mentioned: if the markets are getting hammered, you will likely be in drawdown because Stock ROcket finds stocks in both up and down markets without determining market trend. For example, the results show that in 2010 Stock Rocket suffered between Feb and August 2010, with an average return of about -0.5% per stock over 80 picks or so. Anyway, they came right back in the last quarter of the year to make enough money to return 101% over 165 picks or so, an average return of 0.61% per pick. It represented their worst year in the past five.
