Many websites will show you a “sample” of their best stock picks. Seldom will they show you any of their losers, and never do they show you how they did during Bear Market years. Below you will find the results of all stocks published on this site for well over a decade.

We are very proud of how our system performs during Bear Markets. While almost every trading system, mutual fund, retirement account and index lost huge percentages every year during the 2000 to 2002 and the 2008 Bear Markets, we averaged making 17.6% profits during those years. On average, we beat the S&P 500 by 40% per year and the Nasdaq by 50% per year during the Bear Market years. (Click HERE to discover How iDayo™ Makes Profits During Bear Markets.)

You will find the stocks listed below by quarter as they were posted in every issue of Forbes Magazine for almost three years, and on the Internet since January of 1998. The actual pages from Forbes Magazine in which our stocks were published can be seen in the section “iDayo™ in Forbes” under the Media tab on the Home page of this website.

The overall return for all our stocks, summarized by the quarter posted, is listed below. We compare the total return on all stocks purchased during each quarter to both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq for the same 16-week period as the stocks were held. iDayo’s Gain or Loss per quarter is shown in blue, with the S&P 500 Gain or Loss to the right. Between those columns is a column in which you will see a red star in every quarter in which iDayo “beat the market” (the great majority of the time). The Nasdaq Gain or Loss is also shown to the right of the S&P 500 for reference.

The main reason people subscribe to iDayo (and re-subscribe year after year) is not because the system wins all the time – no system can do that. It is because, over time, iDayo always beats all the major indices. The chart at the top of this page illustrates this clearly in the right column, which shows the percentage by which iDayo beats the Benchmark S&P 500. In particular, note that in Bear Market years, even though our returns may not be as large as in other years, we typically beat the averages by even larger percentages. So in 2008, for instance, when the S&P 500 plunged 38.49%, we made a modest 2.2% Annualized return, beating the market by over 40%. This was not a big winner for iDayo, but we accomplished our main goal – we kept our clients safe!

Finally, please not that the published results for the iDayo system are long only, meaning that we show only the results of buying stocks based on high ratings on our system. Many of our Subscribers do the opposite in down markets. For example, in 2008 our more experienced Subscribers started shorting stocks that had low iDayo ratings, with spectacular results.

One final note: Although this is primarily a stock selection system, you have probably noticed that we refer to it both as a “Stock Selector” and as an “Option Selector.” While we don’t give recommendations of specific options to buy or sell, many investors with experience in options find iDayo to be a veritable goldmine of ideas for their options trading. This is because half of an options trader’s job is knowing the correct strategies to use; the other half is having excellent stocks on which to buy or sell those options. Many of our Subscribers who use options in their investing tell us they couldn’t get survive without iDayo.
