This is the trading performance of Zig Traders as of March 8, 2008. The customer ZIG account was launched last January 4, 2008 and trades equities listed in the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX. The ZIG account has a cumulative rate of return of +6.08% for the past 10 weeks or an annualized yearly return of +31.62% . Despite bearish and volatile conditions of the US economy and the global financial markets, Zig Traders has consistently performed well as the S&P 500 returned a loss of -8.75% for the past 10 weeks we have been trading. ZIG has outperformed the S&P 500 due to its winning short stock positions. The US market has tried to rally this week as the the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 416.66 points, or 3.6% last March 11 - the highest since March 2003. However, more bad news came into the picture at the end of the week. On March 14, Bear Stearns was deserted by its clients and counterparties because of their liquidity issues causing its stock price to fall 47% in just one day. Thus, the Bears and short sellers came back in control and so did the ZIG portfolio.
