Starting to Work?

My mechanical portfolio is really starting to gain steam. The 27 stocks bought since Nov 21st are up 27.5%. The overall portfolio is down "just" 7.8% (while Magic Diligence portfolio is down more than 20%). Overall the portfolio is outperforming the S&P by 11.4%. Is it starting to be magical again? It was a huge day for SOLR and WFR.

Good job! Do the overall results account for your closed position performance of -6.8% per?

BTW, the MD portfolio closed positions average 11.5% outperformance. Could that be an indication of long term results? :)
Hey, I have to have something!

I'm a bit confused on how you choose these stocks. Is it top 25 overall? IE, you bought Dell in February but Dell has been on the MFI screen for some time (well over a year by my records).

Yes, the overall results include open and closed positions. I then show closed positions separately.

I choose my stocks when they first enter the top 25 screen (now 30) using the minimum market cap. The stock has to be on the screen for the 1st time in past year. So Dell didn't reach my screen until much later after it hit your wider screen.

I think ENDP may make my list this weekend.
