Let’s see in more detail how our top 3 stock recommendations for September 2022 have performed. These recommendations were: LNG, HBCP and BJ.

1. LNG

LNG had the best performance of the ten recommendations with a monthly return of +3.58%. Cheap North American natural gas supplies have been attractive to foreign energy buyers for years; Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has only amplified the need for more secure supplies.

2. HBCP 

HBCP was the second best recommendation of the month with a return of -0.13%. It important to note that insiders acquired stock in large numbers last year

3. BJ

BJ was the third best recommendation of the month with a return of -2.26%. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.

The verdict 

Overall a solid performance of our standard recommendation portfolio despite the negative returns by the market. Our members continue to earn a healthy cumulative positive return  and we offer a promising future in growing their investments even further in the stock exchange market.
