The July 18 issue of 2 for 1 rounds out 18 years of continuous monthly publication. Our track record of an 11% overall annualized return through three bull markets and two wicked bear markets is equaled by very few mutual funds or other investment newsletters.

The 2 for 1 index closed out the 2nd quarter at 822.80, an all time high. That’s up at a rate of 12.5% annualized over the last 17+ years. The index is now being updated every 15 seconds by the NYSE under the ticker symbol “SPLITS”.
