Over the past month the Twitter (TWTR) top 10 portfolio under performed once again. It was down over 2% while the S&P 500 Index was up. Plug Power (PLUG) was the main culprit for the under performance (down 32%). It is once again the type of stock that I always avoid. It was in a clear down trend and is also a low priced stock. Not the characteristics that lead to a high batting average. But, the portfolio is designed to illustrate the pros and cons of mechanical investing and tell us about market conditions. It is not a list to be bought blindly. It is intended to be a starting point for stock selection. We use Twitter momentum for timing stock purchases.
