EarningsBeats.com Digest for August 19, 2019

Dear EarningsBeats.com Community Member.

We're less than 24 hours from our "Top 10 Stocks Picks" webinar and we know we are going to be extremely busy Monday as we prepare for the event. Accordingly, we are releasing the EarningsBeats Digest tonight instead of in the morning and encourage those of you who might be "on the fence" to consider joining tonight so we can make sure you are all set going into Monday's webinar. So here's a link to our $7 special and a word below from Tom Bowley.

Please Join us for Tomorrow's "Draft"

My Model, Aggressive and Income portfolios have dominated over the past quarter, extending my winning streak to 5 consecutive quarters of outperformance vs. the benchmark S&P 500. The Model Portfolio has easily outdistanced the S&P 500 for three straight quarters with a cumulative return of +46.92% through Friday's close. By comparison, the S&P 500 has risen +7.36%. My Model Portfolio is nearly 40 percentage points higher!

The Aggressive and Income Portfolios have also been outstanding, gaining 15.76% and 6.66%, respectively, in their very first quarters, while the S&P 500 gained just 1.02%. While the Income Portfolio hasn't provided the big numbers that the Model and Aggressive Portfolios have, I actually think the performance of this defensive portfolio is more impressive. If you want performance, but with one eye on preserving capital, then the Income Portfolio might be for you. Check out the chart here:

A portfolio that beats the S&P 500 in good times and crushes it in bad times is a portfolio worth keeping. During the big drops in the S&P 500 in late-May and the first half of August, the Income Portfolio held up extremely well. It finished close to its high on Friday, despite the S&P 500 losing nearly 5% since that late-July high. I've suggested that this portfolio of household, dividend-paying names should hold up well during market downturns and, while the jury may still be out in the long-term, it's been stellar thus far throughout all of the current turbulence and market volatility.

I'll release the 30 stocks (10 in each portfolio) tonight during a special Top 30 Stocks webinar that begins at 4:30pm EST. If you'd like to join (and why wouldn't you?) and you're not currently a member, simply CLICK HERE to sign up for a $7 30-day trial. That will get you a seat in Monday's webinar and provide other member perks.

I look forward to seeing you there!
