We cant expect rates of returns to mirror what has occurred the last 2 months in this market.. Expect consolidation at best in the near term to a most probable pullback in our opinion..Bob Pistrani of CNBC,a WallStreet analysis stated the market bottom this year was 3/9/09 on CNBC on 5/5/09..The average rate of return he mentioned of stocks since that market bottom is 34% ,it maybe up about another percentage give or take..Our recommendations since February 12,2009 on all 11 stocks is 44.1 %–roughly about 9% greater than the average exact bottom picker’s return..That is only buyers this year on March 9,2009 and no other day…

..On our 11 recommendations–We have included the ‘buy’ price of the medium level from the high and lows if a stock was bought on the recommendation the day after it was put on our blog (unless if it was recommended on a trading day, it would applied to that day of the medium price) to the current price of the May 6, 2009 closing price…..Here goes:
