Investor's Business Daily's Leaderboard® Shows Winning Performance, More Than Triples the S&P in 2013

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Investor's Business Daily's (IBD) Leaderboard vastly outperformed the S&P 500 through the first three quarters of 2013.  In addition to delivering a powerful watch list of leading stocks updated twice a day, Leaderboard shows investors how to buy, hold and sell the market's biggest winning growth stocks in real time.

Leaderboard surged 56.1% in the first three quarters of 2013, more than triple the S&P 500's gain of 17.9%.

"Think of Leaderboard as real-time education with an IBD expert," said IBD Executive Chris Gessel. "We note right on the chart where the ideal buy and sell points are and all the key action in between."

The IBD market team combs through IBD's best stock lists and features for companies that show the same fundamental and technical factors shared by previous big winners, such as Apple, Priceline and Chipotle Mexican Grill. Leaderboard's market experts have a proven track record of putting stocks on the Leaders List before they break out and begin their steep ascents. Celgene, for example, has been on Leaderboard since the beginning of the year as it doubled in price. Tesla Motors, the maker of luxury high-performance electric sedans, joined the Leaders List on June 25. The stock has rallied as much as 90% in less than four months.

Leaderboard also helps on the short side of the market with the Cut List, where investors find stocks poised to fall further in price. Apple moved from the Leaders List to the Cut List in October 2012, and  fell more than 250 points while on the Cut List.

Subscribers consistently write to tell their stories of using Leaderboard to successfully invest in the stock market. 

"Leaderboard is a true time-saver that combines all the firepower of IBD into one brief, concise list," Harold R., North Carolina

Leaderboard is available at Investors.com for $69 a month or $699 a year.
