Portfolio of the Year (2006)

[spikefader]

Made some adjustments to SPIKE for the start of the year. Here is how it stands going into Day 1 of 2006. (very pleased to be +0.5% in the face of S&P500 -1.6% in the past 4 trading days).



You'll note that I'm currently not in fund compliance (i.e. the rule that 50% of the port must be made up of stocks under 10% or less of the port assetts). I'm only at 43% and it's due to my late in the day buy of EFA, so I'll remedy that asap.

OK, here are my holdings. NFI and SAFM will be kicked away when the new year comes. A replacement has not been found yet.

NFI: 30% of outstanding shares are short on this baby. Incredible, considering that it just paid a divy of $1.40 per share one week ago.

Chart looks horrendous. Could return to $22.50 per share in short order.

You sure you don't want to short this one in a revenge move? Or maybe buy a put?

[Karel]

Hi New-born: No, I you can't buy puts for the fund. And another way to make money from a losing stock is to get rid of it (or not buy it) and buy a better one. That is what I aim for with JLG, my new pick. See the thread for my Marketocracy fund.

Up 3% for the week and 7.7% YTD! And of course, the rest could be lazy AND plain chicken. POTW is about as much as they can handle. Or POTY!

Karel, how do I place stop orders?

[Karel]

I don't think you can place stop loss orders. Remember, you are running a fund. Stop loss orders make especially fund managers rather vulnerable. I would use some kind of alert service, delayed or not, and act accordingly. I may be wrong. You could always ask on help@marktocracy.com.

Thanks, I signed up and need to figure out the platform

[spikefader]

Bump! Never too late to throw a port together. Perhaps a short fund; they got those too at marketocracy. Come on dudes.

Two horse race at the moment. Come on fellas; put up a port and have some fun. Shoo, I'll even let ya'll pick Creme of the Crop candidates and C Longs! hehehe

Here's where Karel and I stand relative to the market and each other.

[scifos]

all right, I'll give this a shot. I'm going to pick a handful of stuff and let it ride for awhile, updates will be infrequent.

[scifos]

Ticker will be SCIFO
