Year-to-Date Returns Through April 9, 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. To see returns from an Unemotional Growth portfolio that has been updated monthly, click here.
