Stock Watch Index Gains 312% in 2017.

Los Angeles, Calif., January 2, 2018. 2017 has been a great year for StockWatchIndex (SWI) newsletter subscribers, visitors to the SWI WatchIndex and the SWI Research website. The rapidly increasing popularity of StockWatchIndex is driven by a consistent flow of crucial information and in-depth research on the companies SWI covers, resulting in a significant increase of the SWI Portfolio value.

Based on the new research we have entered into during the last few months of 2017, we expect 2018 to be even stronger, barring any nasty surprises in the general stock market, based on our political climate. As usual, for research coverage, we are very careful in picking only companies with leading edge, disruptive technologies and business plans and that are run by a solid management team and are expected to be able to sustain and expand their business model for years to come. No short term “Flash in the Pan” here.

Two New SWI Promising Picks for 2018

Ocean Thermal Energy and Fossil-Fuel-Free Energy. We initiated Coverage on Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (OTCQB:CPWR) on November 30, 2017, after having met with management several times and hearing about the company’s plans for 2018. We believe that 2018 will be a exciting and defining year for OTE. Fossil-Free-Fuel Energy is maybe the most crucial problem to solve for most developing and developed Nations alike, today, and should be on top of the list for every investor..

LiveWire Ergogenics – The SWI Exception. LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc (OTC:LVVV) was our most unusual pick for 2017, as we typically do not cover “triple-zero” penny stocks. We believe LVVV will be the exception. We initiated coverage on August 6, 2017 at a share price of $0.0007. Since then LVVV’s share price has reached $0.02 at close of 2017, with an average volume of 8.7 Million shares per day during the last thirty (30) days of 2017, reaching a peak of 49.6 Million shares on December 22, 201. This is the largest volume any of our stocks ever had, no matter what exchange or price. We expect LVVV (a California company) to expand its position in 2018, supported by the legalization of cannabis in California, beginning the first day of 2018.

Transparency is the Key – Outperforming Major Indexes. If you have followed us for some time, you know that we “put our money where our mouth is” by acquiring positions for every stock in the SWI Portfolio. To make our performance stats completely transparent to our readers, we have consistently and frequently published performance reports for the portfolio since inception, nearly three years ago. The SWI Portfolio has consistently outperformed the major indexes and most “Big-Firm” research portfolios; and the gap is widening. Our research team is always scouting the markets for new and exceptional opportunities to add to the portfolio. We have several candidates under consideration to be added during the first few weeks of the new year.

SWI’s Social Media following has grown rapidly and consistently during 2017 and we would like to express our appreciation to our followers for spreading the word on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. We will continue to provide you with crucial news and valuable insights on the companies that we cover and some Hidden Gems that we do not cover yet, to support your investment decisions.

We encourage you to follow the companies that we are covering on our StockWatchIndex (SWI) website, in our “QuickPicks” reports and with our SWI Research Reports on SWI Research.com. The SWI website is updated at least once daily with the latest news on the companies we cover and important news highlighting market trends, mainly in BioTech, Technology and other disruptive developments and what we believe to be solid investment opportunities.
