What's Hot-The ValuEngine Aggressive Growth Portfolio Strategy


ValuEngine has created and tracked a variety of investment portfolio strategies which reflect varying investment objectives. Known as benchmark portfolio strategies, these strategies provide an excellent starting point for using ValuEngine's cutting-edge research to select a basket of stocks. A research team of Ivy League academics and Wall St. investment professionals created ValuEngine's proprietary financial models and investment tools. This four-year effort required a team of 12 PhDs and a budget of more than $4 million. Each ValuEngine model takes a view of the market from a different perspective and then the various outputs are combined in order to rate and rank each ticker in our universe of 5000 stocks--of which @ 500 are ADRs and foreign companies that trade on US exchanges. The two main models utilize complex mathematical modeling

formulas as well as computer simulation techniques to compute what stock prices should be if the market were totally rational and efficient and what stock prices will be given the actual state of the market today. This week, we discuss one of our longest-running strategies, the VE Aggressive Growth Portfolio Strategy. Formerly known as the VE Standard Strategy, VE Aggressive Growth is designed to provide maximum returns. It selects stocks for portfolios based on calculations on stock valuation supplied by ValuEngine's proprietary stock valuation model as well as other fundamental financial data. Over time, this strategy is highly successful when run in a market neutral configuration. The VE Aggressive Growth Portfolio Strategy is based on the proprietary VE Composite Score Ranking system. This ranking system is designed to assess the attractiveness of each of the more than 5000 stocks in our database. The VE Composite Score Ranking system combines the following three factors: stock valuation, price momentum, and earnings/price ratio. Each of these quantitative measurements are ranked on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the ranking, the more positive the influence each measurement has on the overall attractiveness of the stock. The sum of the three rankings forms the VE Composite Score Ranking. Stocks with the highest scores are selected for the long side of the ValuEngine Aggressive Growth Portfolio. Stocks with the lowest scores make up the short picks. No diversity criteria are applied and thus the strategy is free to create a portfolio without sector limits in a search for maximum total return. This strategy allows better overall gains but does result in an increase in volatility as the portfolios may be significantly over or underweighted on a sector basis depending on valuation and other calculations at the time of portfolio selection. Rebalancing occurs once per month. An equal amount of capital is allocated to all stocks. Only stocks with a market price greater than $5 and a size ranking greater than 40--@ $483 millions in January 2011, are considered. Performance table and chart are below:
Statistics vs. S&P 500 Index Since 2000

--Commentary and Analysis from Chief Market Strategist Richard Suttmeier
If you have any comments or questions, send them to Rsuttmeier@Gmail.com Treasury Yields 10-Year--(1.972) Daily, weekly, semiannual, quarterly and annual value levels are 2.095, 2.1325, 2.203, 2.414, 2.669 and 2.690 with the 50-day simple moving average at 2.058, and semiannual and monthly risky levels at 1.672 and 1.602.

Commodities and Forex Comex Gold--($1712.2) Semiannual and annual value levels are $1469.9, $1644.8 and $1,356.5 with my quarterly pivot at $1738.4, and daily, weekly and monthly risky levels at $1748.8, $1808.4 and $1873.8, and the September 6th all time high at $1923.7. The 50-day simple moving average is a support at $1709.1. The years low was $1535.0 set on September 26th. Nymex Crude-- (($97.97) The October 4th year-to-date low is $74.95 with a monthly value level at $86.20, the 200-day simple moving average at $96.01, quarterly, monthly and annual pivots at $100.34, $99.91 and $101.92, and weekly, semiannual risky levels at $107.75, $103.93 and $107.90. The high and low for oil happened on the same days as the Dow with the high at $114.83 per barrel on May 2nd. The Euro--(1.3346) My quarterly value level is 1.2598 with a daily pivot at 1.3466, the 50day simple moving average at 1.3603, and weekly, monthly and semiannual risky levels at 1.3944, 1.3953, 1.4752 and 1.4872. Major Indices Equity Technicals The 30 stocks in the Dow Industrial Average closed Thursday above its 200-day simple moving average at 11,945. All other major averages closed below their 200day SMAs. Yesterday I talked about the three important indices and their failed attempts at closes above their 200-day SMAs. The S&P 500 (with 500 stocks) recently tested its 200-day at 1263.6 but failed to close above. The same can be said about the NASDAQ (with 2,500 stocks) versus its 200-day at 2671. The Russell 2000 (with 2000 small cap stocks) have stayed well below its 200-day, now at 768.26. These 5,000 stocks outweigh the 30 Dow components. Equity Fundamentals: Stocks are not as compelling fundamentally. Stocks are undervalued, but 76.4% is well below the October 4th 93.5% level. 76.4% of all stocks are undervalued / 23.6% of all stocks are overvalued. On October 4th 93.5% of all stocks were undervalued. Eight sectors are overvalued and eight sectors are undervalued in a range from 14.0% undervalued to 9.0% overvalued. Back in March 2009 the sectors were undervalued by 33% to 45%.
