NWACQ is the winner of 2006 absolutely! When I introduced it on 4/19, its closing price was $0.58. On 12/13, its price reached $6.55 that made its BRR to 1029.3%. The result is unbelievable good!
Apparently, at the time I was introducing it, NWACQ was undervalued. This stock reminded me about the similar story of K-mart which was happened not long ago.

After I suggested on 4/9/06, ACH has gone up a little, but then felled about 40%. Its BRR (Best Return Ratio) is only 0.9% which is the lowest in all my suggested stocks for year 2006.
On the last trading day of 2006, 12/29/2006, its closing price is $23.50. (There was a 4:1 split on 10/11/06)

The economic data does not support such an increase. There is a little ground for Fed to do it to block the economy’s further movement. Let’s say: I don’t believe the Fed will increase the rate today.
The market should be cheered when Fed halt the rate raising.
