» Kirk - Hulbert Rating: "Louis Navellier's Blue Chip Growth Letter"

.
I keep getting email from Navellier telling me to buy his letter immediately. I decided to check with Hulbert and see how well he has done.

Hulbert Rating: "Louis Navellier's Blue Chip Growth Letter"
Performance ratings through Dec. 31, 2002

1 yr return -14.3%
Wilshiire 5000 -20.9%
S&P500 -22.1%

5 yr return annualized +5.6%
Wilshire 5000 -0.9%
S&P500 -0.6%

So, he has beat the averages! This is very good.

Hulbert should be publishing his ratings through June 2003 soon so I will update this Navellier's ratings then. Navellier has been long the market for this run so I would assume he has done well thus I look forward to publishing his results here. Please remind me next month if I don't remember.

When I get 5 yrs on my newsletter, I will annualize the returns as Hulbert does so I can make a fair comparision. Right now, it is apples and oranges comparisons as I only have 4.5 yrs on the books since my newsletter was first in print.

For 2005, "Kirk's Newsletter Portfolio" was Up 13.2% vs. QQQQ up 1.2% vs. DJIA down 0.6% vs. S&P500 Up 4.8%

As of 12/31/05 the Total Return for "Kirk's Newsletter Portfolio" since 12/31/98 is Up 197% while the S&P500 only up 12%!!! & NASDAQ only up 1%!!! (my explore portfolio beta is about 1.5)

What should be quite clear is a “buy and forget” market strategy using the DOW, S&P500 or NASDAQ would have under performed holding money funds over the past seven years while my newsletter portfolio nearly tripled every dollar invested
