Q: What do I get with my subscription? Your subscription includes our 35+ page monthly newsletter of recommended stocks, commentary and analysis of insiders' trading activity. Each issue profiles those stocks that have been highlighted by those who know them the best - the insiders. We also include an overview of the general market and insiders' trading activities. Finally, we report on the performance of our model portfolio and review developments at those companies in our portfolios. To see a free sample copy of our newsletter simply click here. Q: How have the stocks you've picked for your portfolio performed? Since inception our cash portfolio has return 117% on invested funds compared to only 29.7% on the Dow in the same period. Our average trade has generated 94%pa and when consider against the risk we take we return a staggering 1.17% per unit of risk compared to only 0.4% by investing in the Dow. You'd be forgiven for thinking they were the sort of returns you can only expect from a hedgefund! You too can do it! For a copy of or performance report click here. Q: How do you select stocks for your portfolios? Of course not every insider trade should be copied - but which should be followed? We track the performance of insiders in every company in the US looking at the quality and reliability of each insider's trading. We select only those who have an outstanding record of picking their own stock. Each stock is then rigorously analyzed to ensure that it meets our strict fundamental criteria before we add it to our portfolio. Q: What sort of stocks have you selected for your portfolios? Each month we select only those stocks that the insiders have highlighted by their trading and that meet our strict fundamental criteria. Some of our trades have included:
Of course, sometimes we have to be content with the "modest" 15.7% we earned on Ameritrade in just over one month in Oct 02! Q: Do you tell subscribers what stop losses you are using? As with all trading, not every stock we select is going to be a winner. That is why we operate strict stop-loss limits on all our positions. These are updated in our monthly newsletter so you are always informed. We also automatically update them during the month for dividends or stock splits. Q: Do you keep subscribers updated on companies once you add them to your portfolio? We are constantly monitoring developments at companies we hold in our portfolios. Every month, we include a brief update in our newsletter on these developments so our subscribers are always full informed.

Q: When is the Insider Monthly released? The Insider Monthly is released prior to the first trading day in each month. Q: How will I received my Insider Monthly report? Our newsletter is available from our website and emailed direct to you at the end of each month to offer you the timeliest coverage possible. Our newsletters are produced in the industry standard PDF format which uses the free reader provided by www.adobe.com (most modern machines come with this installed). Q: When did the Insider Monthly begin? Our newsletter was launched in mid 2002 so our performance covers the difficult investing period at the end of 2002 through the recent recovery. In both up and down markets following the lead of the insiders has shown its merit. For a copy of our performance report click here. Q: Isn't insider trading illegal? When you hear the term insider trading, it usually refers to the illegal kind of insider trading. That's trading where you know something important the market doesn't know. However, CEOs and other executives are insiders all the time, by nature of their position. So the government makes this inherent advantage fair by making insiders disclose their trades to everyone. This is legal insider trading. Insiders still can't sell or buy stock just before a major event but they can sell stock if they feel their company isn't a great investment at current prices.
