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. In addition, open option contracts are not
marked to market and are not reflected in the returns until
exercise/expiration because my scripts can not update them. 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. We 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! |
