This article has been updated for 2015.

==> Jim Cramer's 2014 Action Alerts Plus Charitable Trust Portfolio Performance <==

January 18, 2014: The January 2014 issue of Mark Hulbert's "Long Term Performance Ratings" (LTPR) shows the performance for over 500 newsletter portfolios. Hulbert updates this report twice a year. I show a snapshot of the most recent issue with Jim Cramer's Action Alerts Plus results for 2013 here.

Jim Cramer's Action Alerts Plus Performance & Returns

Notes:

Timer Digest Features Kirk Lindstrom's Investment Letter on its Cover
I show how applying the reported return for each year of following Jim Cramer's Action Alert Plus portfolio would do if you compound the returns, much as if you used your own money.
There is a lot of trading in Cramer's portfolio so if your portfolio is not as large as his, then your drag to commissions could be much, much higher.
Jim Cramer says he gives the profits to charity so his actual compounding is less.
If you want to know exactly how this works, send an email to Cramer before you subscribe and ask for a complete accounting of returns by year back to 2002 BEFORE YOU SEND MONEY!
Finally, ask Jim Cramer why he doesn't report his results up front like I do for my returns.
