ValueExpectations.com has calculated the performance of all the stocks we have recommended (long and short) since our inception in November of 2008. Below is a table with each blog we have posted that had specific Buy or Sell recommendations, along with the average return for each group of stocks compared to the overall market benchmark (S&P 500). On average, our Buy recommendations have outperformed the benchmark by 13.88% and our Sell recommendations have outperformed the market by 9.30%. This 4.58% Buy-Sell spread represents the value that AFG’s valuation techniques and Economic Margin (EM) methodology can add to your portfolio. The powerful research tools that AFG provides are proving successful even in a difficult market environment such as the one we are currently experiencing.

In case you are new to our blog, Value Expectations is an interface investors utilize to understand implied sales growth and profitability levels built into latest stock prices. Understanding those implied expectations for future operations is important as it helps investors to assess whether or not those expectations are realistic, which will in turn give investors a huge advantage in trying to identify stocks that will be the most likely to outperform or underperform, as AFG’s track record has shown since 1996.

We encourage you to stay up to date with our latest blogs to further your understanding of the EM methodology and to learn about more great investment ideas. Going forward, we will continue to keep track of the performance of our stock recommendations (long and short) compared to the market and will provide quarterly updates of our performance.
