It has been some time since I have done a nice update like this. So, I am going to give you all my historical positions I have made with my success rates.
My Buy Pick of the Day Virtual Portfolio was started in March on my former website, www.theoxengroup.com. We started in March, some eight months ago, with the picks. In August, we started the picks on PSW. The virtual portfolio is set up so that we divided $3000 between three smaller accounts of $1000 each. The virtual portfolio rotates each day so that we can account for free rider regulations. We charge $4 per trade. With that said, how are we doing?
As of Wednesday night, the account had increased from $3000 to $5533.45, which is an increase of 84% in less than nine months. Since coming to PSW, we have increased our account 21%. In the month of September, we went up 8%. Since coming to PSW, we have made 41 stock picks. Of those 41 picks, 32 have been winners.
We hope to keep this success moving. Here is the historical virtual portfolio results:

The other virtual portfolio we started when we came to PSW was to make the Short Sale of the Pick Day. This account has not been as successful, as we continue to learn the art of the short sale and make it a consistent success. We have been doing much better as of late. Since we started the account, we are up 8% in less than 2.5 months.
Interestingly, in September, we increased the account 4%. We have also made only 5 misses of 18 picks since the start of September. In definitely took us some time to get our feet wet with this account, but we believe it can be successful.
Here is the historical virtual portfolio:
