Workshop Returns
Year-to-Date Returns Through January 27, 1999
All stocks were selected on 12/31/98 and will be held a full year. Although the original Investing for Growth and Unemotional Growth models are designed to be used on shorter cycles, for the sake of even tests and simplicity, we're tracking the annual models this year. It's incorrect to infer that an annual holding is optimal for those two methods.
