Even though put options
were assigned, the effective price of $6.40 per share was lower than the
current year initial entry price so the option premium has been included in
realized returns to reflect this. |

Please note this page details our actual portfolio, warts and
all, and will be updated monthly.
Changes made after the date shown at the top of the page are not
reflected until the end of the month.
Also, the portfolio's performance may not be truly reflected as I'm
too lazy to devise a system to measure each stock against the market at the
time of entry as opposed to YTD. Finally, the portfolio as shown does not
mirror our actual allocation. The stocks are shown here equal-weighted while
our portfolio has different weightings as well as multiple buy points for
some stocks as we average down. I have listed our initial entry point on this
web page but our actual positions may have a lower or higher cost basis and
thus our returns may differ substantially, hopefully to the upside! Included are our real-world cash balance
and IRR for reference. |
