Worst YTD for the Martin Zweig Stock Screen so far

I went back and looked over AAII's data for the Zweig screen since 1998. This has been the worst year for the stock screen since AAII began tracking it. AAII tracks the stock screen on a monthly basis. Here's the breakdown:

From January through September:

1998 31%
1999 16.3%
2000 40.2%
2001 19.8%
2002 12.9%
2003 38.1%
2004 25.2%
2005 25.7%
2006 7.2%
2007 15.9%
2008 -10.5%

AND if you had started with 10K back in '98 you would have $69,821.
