This separate portfolio was discontinued on April 13, 2006 and the holdings were moved directly into the Discretionary GPS Portfolio, instead of indirctly as before. Holdings from both the S&P 100 and NASDAQ 100 have been combined.

The GPS S&P 100 Portfolio is managed entirely based on the Goodman Price/Volume Stock Selection System, as applied to the 100 stocks that make up the S&P 100 Index (OEX). It's a "paper portfolio" -- sometimes it will reflect in a general way what Fred is doing for his own account and for accounts he manages.

The GPS S&P 100 Portfolio is fully invested in equities at all times, with new positions added in approximately equal weights. The only exception to the fully invested policy will be in the rare case in which the GPS system has no stocks listed as buys, in which case the portfolio will hold no assets until the system produces a buy.

The Portfolio began on December 31, 2004. We account for the portfolio like a mutual fund, computing a daily Net Asset Value. The initial NAV was set at $10. The Portfolio assumes no particular total amount of money invested, so positions are given as percentage portfolio weights rather than numbers of shares.

Changes in positions will generally be at the closing price on the day on which a GPS signal to buy or sell is generated, and will be announced in the next edition of Fred's daily "Technical Analysis" report. For simplicity we ignore transaction costs (which would reduce reported performance) and dividends (which would increase reported performance). There may be significant differences, beyond our control, between the performance of this hypothetical portfolio and an otherwise similar actual portfolio.

Stock prices on this page are normally updated daily after the market close. Changes in portfolio positions will be made as of the close on the date on which buy and sell signals are generated; they will generally be updated on this page the morning after.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
