Van Meerten Speculative Fund

About the Van Meerten Speculative Fund:
Jim Van Meerten shows you how to use Barchart to improve your portfolio's performance. This fund will hold approximately 40 stocks that trade below $10 per share, trade at least 25,000 shares per day and are experiencing new 20-day highs and sorted for frequency as indicated on Barchart.  Because this fund contains stocks with low volume and low prices it will be more speculative than funds holding high volume and high priced stocks.

Marketocracy Honors - After evaluating over 100,000 model portfolios Marketocracy has added the Barchart Van Meerten Speculatrive Fund to their M100 Funds.  Per their press release: " m100 members have proven long term track records, and serve as the ambassadors of our top performing members. We have thousands of excellent investors who are beating the market, but only 100 make this list at any given time."
