Most of the companies that have been introduced in the newsletter traded at a higher price for at least some time following their introduction in the newsletter. However, some of those companies subsequently lost value as their projects did not work out. At the present time, with the markets in a terrible state, many of the companies are down in price. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and we are not licensed investment advisors. Always do your own due diligence. Thank you.
