* How we calculate performance:
1. Buy Price is the price at the time the recommendation was released. Your entry price may be higher or lower. Buy Prices have been adjusted for dividends.
2. Current Price is as of the update.
3. Peak Price is the highest point a stock has traded at since the recommendation.
By using ‘Peak Price’, we give you an idea of what our recommendations are capable of. Obviously, no one sells their investments at the highest price reached every single time. But in our opinion, it is valuable to know the potential of each trade we’ve ever made and gives you an idea of how we’ve done. Please note that our track record does not include commissions or taxes.
