2007 Performance

Although I am slightly late on my 2007 wrap up and I have already started posting for 2008 Markets, I thought I should share my 2007 performance.

I am glad to present the results of my 2007 portfolio after completing an audit and documentation. From its inception on 2/14/07 through 12/31/07, the portfolio yielded a 90% gain! Compare that with S&P's performance's of 0.8%, Nasdaq's 6.6% and Dow's 4.1% during the same time period. That makes me a happy camper. The portfolio closed list can be viewed by clicking this link*

What worked? - Stock picks, Timing, Exit Strategy Discipline and Lack of intense activity between October and December when the stocks suffered the most. I have also provided my thoughts in a slightly more informative manner that I think may benefit the beginner traders and investors alike. I had originally written it for a different portfolio I maintained at the Strategy Lab Board contest. The context is different but the lessons are similar. If you are a beginner trader or beginner to intermediate investor, I recommend to check it out.

I expect this year to be great too if we build on the lessons learned and always remain agile. Remember no matter what you can always make money!

Happy trading
