In an attempt to gauge interest, get valuable feedback, and test a new product concept, I have decided to offer readers the opportunity for get 5 new stock picks for free and a chance to win a complimentary copy of the 2008 Select List if you take a couple minutes and help me out with this project.
I am considering expanding the Select List product offering in 2008 to include real-time management of the 10-stock portfolio, in addition to simply issuing two reports throughout the year. This service would utilize a web site platform (more on that in a moment) to deliver real-time updates on the Select List portfolio throughout the year, including commentary on significant news items such as earnings reports, as well as suggested trades for each stock on an ongoing basis. In addition, if a stock reaches a price objective, or the story changes for the worse, a new stock would replace it, complete with analysis as to why a change is recommended.
The idea is to enhance the Select List product, and make it potentially even more valuable for subscribers who would be interested in up-to-date details on each stock recommendation throughout the year, as opposed to just one update at mid-year. The bi-annual reports would still be available for those who only want to purchase those.
I am offering readers free stock picks and entries into a contest to get a free 2008 Select List if they help me test one of the systems I am considering. All you need to do is take a couple minutes to sign up for the site and subscribe to a "free picks" portfolio I have created. I am planning on adding 5 stock picks to the portfolio along with commentary, so everyone who signs up will be emailed when research and picks are made.
I would like to see how well the site works, given that the goal is to email subscribers when a trade is made, as well as when new research is posted on the portfolio. I am also looking for feedback, and the site has a place to leave messages. By leaving helpful feedback, you will be entered into a drawing for a free copy of the 2008 Select List when it is issued in January.
If you are interested in getting 5 free stock picks and/or entering the drawing, simply click on the link and follow the simple instructions below:
Peridot Capital "Free Picks" Portfolio
If you choose the "subscribe to this portfolio" option in the upper right corner, it will prompt you to sign up for an account. After doing so, just use the above link again and subscribe to the portfolio so you will receive alerts when the picks are posted. I plan on posting them shortly.
UPDATE: I am planning on posting a new pick to the system each Friday during the month of November ( 11/2, 11/9, 11/16, 11/23, and 11/30).
I would really appreciate your feedback on this site. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

Chad, what are your priorities in business?
Do you want to grow? Do you need to grow?
How do you approach the growth through new products/clients versus improving existing business development paradigm?
I hope disscusing that publicly will help improve the business through both facilitating the control/correction lever(if one is needed) and playing as an additional marketing material for new prospects.
My disclosure: after reading the full blog back until 2005 and buying the 2007 recommendation list in January I had finally decided and handed Peridot with the responsibility of managing my modest 401k capital.
Suffices to say utilizing the list has paid for the next year of service already.
Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the question. I'm not sure if Peridot's growth plan/strategy is something that is relevant to post on this blog, but I will take a moment to explain Peridot's general customer base.
Peridot's core business is, and will always be, portfolio management and consulting services. Portfolio management for people who don't manage their own accounts and have the flexibility to choose any investment option within their account (IRA's, taxable accounts, etc) and consulting for those who are limited in their investment options (401k and 529 college savings plans, etc) but want to consult with a professional to maximize their risk-adjusted returns given their limited options and the need to allocate appropriately amongst them.
I started the blog as both a fun hobby and a marketing tool, and since it has developed a following, a new customer has been cultivated; the investor who manages their own portfolio, and therefore would never hire Peridot for its core service, but still uses the Internet and the blogosphere for research ideas. The Select List product was created for that segment of the investing public. Subscriber feedback has suggested that the Select List product could be enhanced by updating views more often than just once (six months after the initial report), hence the thought that a product extension might be well received.
While not the core of Peridot's service offering, I feel compelled to provide my blog's readers with a quality product, given their support of my online efforts. The blog project has been a lot of fun, and I have my readers to thank for that.
How has your 2007 Select List performed year to date?
the mean return before dividends is tracking about 1 point below the market year to date.
