A Little This-a and A Little That-a

Rainy morning in Dear Connecticut. Good news is that my Hoosiers beat Penn State in football for the first time "ev-er".  We will see how my Cowboys fare today against Peyton and the Broncos, at least it'll be on TV here in Patriot-world.  I wanted to throw up a couple of tables and charts that I find interesting:

Performance Since May 2nd

I took a snap shot of my holdings on May 2nd.  I pick that date as that was really the date people started talking about "taper".  At that point, precious metals really started to drop as did anything that felt bond-like.

NUS	54.28	0.60	100.10	84.4%
GTAT	3.67	-	9.07	147.1%

As you can see, the R3K is up 7% since then (I am up almost 16%, so it has been a good run).  You can see that O (a REIT with a 5.5% dividend) has been the worst performer, down 20%. NEM, a gold miner is down 16%. Interestingly, FCX, which one thinks of as gold and copper mining is up 16%. They took a lot of sh*t for diversfying last fall and buying two oil & gas companies, but that is looking pretty savvy now. I was surprised to see SD about $6 again.  I was definitely wrong to sell them around $4.95.  Sometimes it is so easy to lose conviction in your picks.  You read one counter-argument and you get worried.

Chart of Quarterly Dividends

As one can see, the past quarter was my best third quarter for dividends ever, even though I have been moving a bit away from my dividend portfolio. I am projecting the 4th quarter to be a bit lower with my sale of CIM, some TC-PT and the fact that the 3rd quarter had the benefit of annual STO dividend.

Totals				10.3%
Annualized IRR				43.2%
Average Days Held				99

As you can see, I have had failures and successes.  I have also had positions I have sold too early.  But all-in-all to have a 43% annualized IRR is strong.  My dollar gain on all of these transactions (using my multiplier) is $222,000.

Current Portfolio

Here is my overall current portfolio (in descending order of total worth - note share counts are with multiplier. Also, there should be 2,000 more TGONF shares, which I will fix next week):
