Welcome

Welcome to the Five Trades Blog. The initial purpose of the blog is to compile research from a study of the market's best performing stocks. The research is aimed at developing a method of finding five trades a year that will have potential for gains of 50% plus, with possibility of pyramiding into the stocks.

The objective of the study is to answer the following question: "What makes a stock go up 200% + in a year?"

As of Friday, January 7, 2011, there are 58 stocks that are up 200% or more in one year. These are the stocks on which my research will be focused. As of now my plan is to update the list weekly and research additional stocks as they come up in the scan. This is my first study of this kind, so there is a bit of a learning curve for me in performing this research.

More later.
