those were the top 3 picks for the back half of 2008, down 37-55%.

the rest:
ticker / close on jul 7 / 2008 peak close & date / end of year
mblx / 8.65 / 13.43 8-14-08 / 12.72 +47%
hdsn / 2.27 / 3.19 8-1-08 / 1.35 -41%

erii / 10.23 / 12.22 7-22-08 / 7.58 -26%
to be fair, he said he was 'waiting for a dip' in erii. so maybe the entry on that would have been different.

except mblx, all of these are extremely low volume stocks. the data shows the only way to handle them is to get out early.

to be fair, let's remember 2008 is a bear market, from 7/7/08 to the end of the year, the s&p 500 is around -27% if you include dividends.

only one pick better than the s&p 500. compare the low volume picks almost all underperform the market.
