Year 2008 was almost equally as good a year for OPNewsletter as 2007 especially when compared with any major benchmark index like S&P 500.

December’08 was another positive month for the OPNewsletter delivering +15.9% including commissions.

Considering what happened in the broader markets past week, I am…
Quite a busy week but at the same time, promising one for the general markets. There was a good run on financial stocks and broader markets gained nicely. Next week will be the one to really judge whether or not these levels can withstand. From OPNewsletter‘s perspective, we have invested…
This was not an easy month. In fact a very tough month. I mentioned to subscribers that this was the worst June for Dow in nearly 70 years and If we gain this month, or rather even break-even including our commission, at least, I will consider this a cause for…
