This weeks show is a year end wrap-up of how well professional stock pickers did compared to recommendations made in my monthly newsletter THE NICKLE DIME $PECULATOR. Fortune 500 magazine had 19 stocks recommended: 10 were up for the year 9 went down. If you had purchased all 19 you would have had a lose for the year of 13.40%. The portfolio only did this well because of gains in the second and fourth quarters.
