Just for fun I analysed the Stock Assault 2 claims in their
website. The pitch suggests that there is a huge return in following their recommendations. They don't mention broker's commissions, and some of the "wins" are quite small, the kind of thing that might result in a net loss (especially in "rip-off Britain" with Stamp Duty and high broker's fees - don't get me started). Also, the number of recommendations coming out on a single day could be quite high - several days with over 20 recommendations. I assumed that the performance of the picks was not skewed by the number of picks per day. At $1,000 per trade and $12 commission, buying every recommendation, you would net $4,700 profit on a total stake of (at peak) $39,000. That's over 51 days, resulting in an annualized profit of 72%, pretty impressive though not the 8,309.65% which they claim!!
So maybe they have something, though it also depends on the price at which you could actually execute a buy on their recommendations. I haven't checked that out yet, but I suspect that it may be difficult to buy at the price which they record.
