It’s time for a mid-year review here on chrisperruna.com. I have performed 24 “Stock of the Day” case studies since the start of 2007. Assuming that I was holding every stock to date, the combined portfolio is up approximately 26% with the lead gainer going to BIDU at 98%. The laggard must go to MPW at 12.01% loss. Yes, SHLD is down 12.84% but that is due to poor coverage by me when the stock was extended from a proper support level (besides, it’s more of a value stock than a growth stock so I was out of my league when doing the analysis). Either way, SHLD is a stock I would add long term as a value investor (IRA type stock or one I put into a child’s portfolio).
Keep in mind; the statistics below do not consider sell stops, stop losses, taking profits, etc… I haven’t organized the stocks into a true portfolio so the performance could have been better or worse based on actual trade decisions along the way. JSDA would be a perfect example as the stock reached a peak gain above 148% and is now only showing a gain of 25%. Several of the losers would have been cut quicker than the current losses showing that are greater than 7-10%.
The post is for fun, especially in this excellent up-trending market!
General Statistics:
75% win ratio (18 of 24 stocks showing a gain)
31% Average Winning Trade
7.5% Average losing Trade
97.75% – Top Gainer
12.84% – Worst Loser
149% – JSDA, Top Peak Gainer at High Price
Not bad considering I haven’t used any money management rules to achieve these results.
