Sweet 16 Update

[dan_s]

Our Sweet 16 Growth Portfolio had a good week.

> The Sweet 16 is now up 19.06% YTD (the S&P 500 is up 8.13% YTD)

> Since 1-1-2011, the S-16 is now up 103.01% (the S&P is up 20.62% during the same period)

*A focused portfolio like S-16 has more risk and a higher beta than the S&P 500.

Most of the companies on our E&P, onshore drillers and MLP Watch Lists are also sounding beating the overall market.

I believe the hard work of Kim Tran, our MBA student interns, and myself is paying off for our members.
Our focus is on finding companies that have near-term revenue, production and reserve growth that have the potential to generate market beating results for investors.

On Tuesday, July 26 we will be sending out our monthly "Sweet 16 Detailed Update". This 25-page report will contain my thoughts on each of the companies in the Sweet-16, giving you an idea of what to expect in their 2nd quarter earnings reports. It will also contain my updated Fair Value estimate for each company.
