The table below indicates returns on all of the ideas published on the site so far – including Member Ideas.
Due to the nature of special situation investing the opportunities published on this site have relatively short time frames – i.e. positions are promptly closed after specific corporate action/event materializes. This results in relatively smaller absolute returns and high annualized IRRs.
Currently ACTIVE trading ideas are accessible to members only.
